• Traffic Signals <br />2. City of Orono's Comprehensive Plan <br />Orono's 2010-2030 Comprehensive Plan, also known as the Community Management Plan, <br />was formally adopted by the Orono City Council on September 13, 2010. At the time of this <br />plan's development, the City was in the process of updating its Comprehensive Plan for the <br />2040 planning horizon. The Plan will include language in the Transportation Section <br />pertaining to ADA compliance in public rights-of-way. <br />R. Review of Programs <br />During July 2017, the City of Orono inventoried pedestrian ramps and sidewalks within the public <br />rights-of-way and within parks. The City also identified which traffic signals include Accessible <br />Pedestrian Signals (APS). <br />1. Pedestrian Ramps <br />The City of Orono has 93 pedestrian ramps within its public rights-of-way. These inventoried <br />for ADA compliance based on MnDOT's standards. 36 of the City's pedestrian ramps were <br />identified as compliant and 56 as non-compliant. Pedestrian ramps are identified as <br />compliant if they meet the following criteria: <br />• Running slope is less than 8.34° <br />• Cross slope is less than or equal to 2° <br />• Landing area is greater than or equal to 4 -feet by 4 -feet <br />• An ADA -compliant detectable warning is present (i.e. truncated domes) <br />Pedestrian ramps not meeting this criteria are candidates for future projects. The timeline for <br />modification of each of these pedestrian ramps will depend on its priority ranking, correlation <br />to planned projects, reasonable accommodation requests, and available funding. Pedestrian <br />ramp replacement is anticipated to cost approximately $4,000 per ramp which includes <br />design and construction of one ramp. A detailed list of these non-compliant locations may be <br />obtained by request to the City of Orono ADA Coordinator. Compliant and non-compliant <br />pedestrian ramp locations are identified in Figure A.1. <br />A.3 <br />
