Chelan ADA Transition Plan

Help plan the future of ADA accessibility in Chelan

The city of Chelan is in the process of developing an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Transition Plan to guide when and where mobility improvements need to be made. Our staff is conducting an inventory of current pedestrian facilities throughout the city, looking for gaps in and barriers to accessibility.
The development of a comprehensive ADA Transition Plan also requires feedback from community members just like you! To gather this feedback, the city is conducting an online survey to better understand your mobility experiences.

Unrepaired sidewalks are challenging for many people, but especially for those using walkers and wheelchairs or people who are blind or have low vision.

Curbs without ramps are inaccessible for those using wheelchairs and challenging for those with low vision or using walkers or pushing strollers.

Obstructions in Sidewalks

Obstructions such as poles or overgrown vegetation are challenging for all and especially for those who are blind or have low vision, or those with wheelchairs if the navigation width is inadequate.

Take the Survey!

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires an ADA Transition Plan from public entities having responsibility for, or authority over facilities, streets, roads, sidewalks and/or other areas meant for public use (collectively referred to as “facilities”). This Plan must describe how facilities will be transitioned to meet Federal accessibility standards.
