Alterations are changes to an existing facility that affect or could affect pedestrian access, circulation or use (see R105.5). Alterations include, but are not limited to, resurfacing, rehabilitation, reconstruction, historic restoration, or changes or rearrangement of structural parts or elements of a facility”

  5. New Construction only? • No, but new construction is expected to provide the highest degree of accessibility. • The DOJ does not currently agree with the FHWA definition of maintenance and the thickness test. Any alteration, chip seal or the likes, could trigger compliance requirement.

  6. Don’t be bashful! • Discuss this proposed rule with your association • Discuss it with your engineer • Recommend comment if there are areas that negatively impact your agency.
