EXECUTIVE SUMMARY •This project is a continuation of previous years of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Ramp Improvement projects located on various intersections along Avenida Bermudas (Attachment 1). •The ADA miscellaneous improvements will include reconstructing curb ramps, sidewalks, and driveways to bring them to current code. Improvements also include an additive alternate to construct raised crosswalks across Avenida La Fonda and Calle Estado on the east side of Avenida Bermudas. Raised crosswalks are proposed due to the right of way constraints when placing curb ramps. •Construction is funded with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, which must be expended by the end of the 2021/22 Fiscal Year. The County has requested that the project be as complete as possible by the end of March 2022.
