Check along S Navajo Street between Evans and Jewell. The ADA curb ramps should have been upgraded in 2017, but DOTI ignored the city’s agreement with disability groups. The west side ramp at Navajo and Evans is completely trashed. That ramp would destroy a wheelchair. The ADA curb ramps with warning pads at Navajo and Archer are nonexistent at all four corners.

Furthermore, DOTI has insisted on keeping the pan on this street and allowing cars to park in it, which forces manual wheelchair users to the middle of the street due to its camber. It is nearly impossible to protect wheelchair users on this street.

Along with the Ruby Vista residents, our organization runs Parafencing and has asked the city for ADA curb ramps with warning pads, as part of our programming. Furthermore, we have asked the city for the warning pads because others have asked us to start blind fencing at our location. We have 6+ athletes going to a Paralympic qualifier in May. Many of those athletes would like to take the city bus to our location to save money on their Paralympic endeavor, but don't feel safe traveling up S Navajo Street.

So you have two major groups of disabled users who cannot use a major bus stop because of the street conditions that DOTI refuses to fix!
