Temporary Solutions for Election Day

Sidewalks and Walkways - Voters with Mobility Disabilities

Problem One:

The sidewalk connecting parking to the polling place entrance is too steep to be accessible.

Suggestion: Check to see if there is another sidewalk that provides an accessible route to the accessible entrance. Sometimes there is a less direct route that can serve as the accessible route.

Problem Two:

The accessible route crosses a curb and no curb ramp is provided.

Suggestion: Install a portable ramp with edge protection.

A portable ramp with edge protection is installed over a curb to provide an accessible route.

Problem Three:

One or two steps are part of the walkway leading to the accessible entrance.

Suggestion: Install a portable ramp no steeper than 1:12 slope with edge protection and handrails
