In an effort to make the City of Hickory’s public right-of-way facilities accessible to all, the City is in engaged in developing an American with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan for the Public Right-of-Way. The ADA Transition Plan for the Right-of-Way demonstrates the City of Hickory’s commitment to providing equal access to all of its public programs, services, facilities, and activities for citizens with disabilities. This plan is focused on pedestrian access routes within the right-of-way and includes sidewalks, curb ramps, street crossings, driveway crossings, rail crossings, hazards, and pedestrian activated signal systems.

The Plan is intended to identify physical obstacles that limit the accessibility of facilities to individuals with disabilities, describe the methods to be used to make the facilities accessible, provide a schedule for making modifications to better provide access, and identify the public officials responsible for implementation of the Transition Plan.
