WILLITS, et al v. CITY OF LOS ANGELES - Notice of Proposed Settlement of Class Action Lawsuit

3. Access Request Program

During the thirty-year term of the Settlement Agreement, settlement class members will have the opportunity to submit requests to remove or remediate access barriers. Requests for barrier removal will be reviewed and investigated in the order received. The City will use its best efforts, to the extent feasible, to complete each requested barrier removal or remediation within 120 day of receiving the request. If the City has multiple requests, it will give highest priority to requests for barrier removal in residential neighborhoods or that are necessary to provide access to bus stops or other forms of public transit. The City will also give priority to removing barriers that inhibit access to: (1) City government offices and facilities; (2) hospitals, medical facilities, assisted living facilities, and other similar facilities; (3) places of public accommodation such as commercial and business zones; and (4) facilities containing employers.
