Board to Hold Public Hearing on Proposed Rights-of-Way Guidelines
The Board will hold a public hearing on its proposed guidelines for accessible public rights-of-way on November 9 from 9:30 to 11:30. The event will provide an opportunity for the public to provide feedback on these guidelines which the Board published for public comment in July. The guidelines provide design criteria for accessible public streets and sidewalks, including pedestrian access routes, street crossings, curb ramps and blended transitions, on-street parking, street furniture, and other elements.
The hearing will take place at the Board’s meeting space at 1331 F Street, NW, Suite 800, in downtown Washington, D.C. Registration is not required, but those who wish to provide comments are encouraged to contact Kathy Johnson at johnson@access-board.gov, (202) 272-0041 (voice), or (202) 272-0065 (TTY). The Board held a similar hearing in Dallas on September 12.
In addition to the hearing, comments on the Board’s proposal can be submitted through Federal government's rulemaking portal at www.regulations.gov. Comments are due by November 23. Further information on this rulemaking is available on the Board’s website.
