Board to Publish Guidelines on Public Rights-of-Way for Public Comment
The Board plans to propose guidelines for accessible public rights-of-ways for public comment this summer. The new guidelines will complement the Board’s existing guidelines for facilities covered by the ADA and ABA and will address access to public sidewalks and streets, including street crossings, on-street parking, street furniture, and constraints posed by terrain and space limitations, among other topics. The Board recently submitted the proposed guidelines to the Office of Management and Budget for clearance which has 90 days to complete its review. Once cleared, the Board will publish the guidelines for public review and comment.
The Board previously released drafts of the guidelines for public input but must follow up with an official proposal and comment period before the guidelines can be finalized. In addition to the feedback received on the earlier drafts, the upcoming proposal will incorporate information gained through close coordination with counterpart agencies and research on rights-of-way issues sponsored by the Board. The proposed guidelines also will be responsive to issues further identified through the Board's extensive outreach and training program on rights-of-way accessibility.
