Re: Parking /Street Light Poles West Roadway Access
Dear Mr. Friday:
The City has discovered that the now installed light poles placed on the sidewalk at the
western roadway access from Norell Ave. N. are non - compliant with ADA standards and /or
are inconsistent with the submitted plans provided to the City during the expansion. The
poles have been placed on the sidewalk and restrict clear access to the sidewalk for
pedestrian travel. (See the enclosed picture)
Please note that this matter has been brought to our attention by a number of seniors who
cannot access your facility on their personal mobility scooters.
With this letter, you are directed to take the necessary steps to address this issue and have it
corrected no later than May 28, 2011. Prior to any work, and not later than May 10, 2011,
plans shall be submitted to my attention at the City of Oak Park Heights for compliance
review.
Your prompt attention to this safety issue is appreciated. Please call if you have any
questions regarding this request.
Sincerely,
Juli . Hultman
