ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan to be Discussed at Meeting 8/28
The City of Somerville's ADA
Coordinator and Somerville Commission for Persons with Disabilities invite all
community members to a public meeting to gather feedback and help the City
develop its Self-Evaluation report into a living, multiyear Transition Plan to
create equal access for all to the city's streets, sidewalks, buildings, parks
and programs. The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 28 at 6 p.m. at City
Hall. A second meeting will be scheduled for September. Residents can also send
questions and comments on the report via e-mail or phone. Translators are
available upon request for Spanish, Portuguese and Haitian-Creole speakers, and
an ASL interpreter will also be available.
and Transition Plan are part of the City's overall efforts to address
accessibility throughout Somerville, along with the new Streetscape Plan and the active contributions of the Somerville
Commission for Persons with Disabilities. The report, detailing an exhaustive
six-month evaluation of the City's accessibility, is now available at www.somervillema.gov/departments/personnel/ADA and by clicking the link "Self-Evaluation Plan" on
