ADA Accessible Routes 1

[mweng]

Do all sidewalk routes to the public ROW have to be ADA compliant or do you only need to provide one accessible route?

Do all on-site sidewalks need to be ADA compliant?

"1) At least one accessible route within the boundary of the site shall be provided from public transportation stops, accessible parking, and accessible passenger loading zones, and public streets or sidewalks to the accessible building entrance they serve. The accessible route shall, to the maximum extent feasible, coincide with the route for the general public."

Of course this may be obvious, but you should check with the appropriate local municipality - they may have additional requirements.

For example, the City of Chicago has specific ADA sidewalk standards. They can be found here:
