C. Sidewalks <br />The sidewalk facilities within city rights of way and along county roadways inside of Orono were <br />inventoried and evaluated to determine existing characteristics such as length and type (concrete <br />or bituminous) and to identify existing defects and obstructions. All sidewalk segments in the City <br />of Orono public rights-of-way received a condition rating of one through four based on level of <br />compliance. Sidewalks with condition ratings of one and two indicate varying <br />levels of ADA compliance and those with ratings of three or four indicate varying levels of non- <br />compliance. Table A.1 identifies the results of the sidewalk inventory condition ratings and affected <br />lengths of sidewalk in the City meeting that criteria. <br />Table A.1- Sidewalk Inventory <br />ADA -Compliance <br />Condition Rating <br />Condition Criteria <br />Length (mis) <br />Location Description <br />Sidewalk is smooth with no vertical <br />Remediation <br />1 <br />2.06 <br />Compliant <br />$660 <br />discontinuities <br />short of roadway <br />Path Bottlenecks to 30 <br />2 <br />Sidewalk has vertical discontinuities less than <br />1.73 <br />inches <br />1/2 inch, and the surface is still passable <br />Avenue and Livingston Avenue <br />Sidewalk discontinuities <br />3 <br />Sidewalk has vertical discontinuities more <br />0.07 <br />$1,000 <br />than 1/2 inch <br />Non -Compliant <br />Sidewalk is crumbling, has many cracks, and is <br />4 <br />unpassable for wheelchairs in many spots <br />0 <br />Compliant and non-compliant sidewalk infrastructure is identified in Figure A. 2. The most <br />commonly identified deficiencies during the sidewalk inventory are shown in Figure A.3. Sidewalks <br />with condition ratings of 3 or 4 will be identified as candidates for future projects. The timeline for <br />replacement of these sidewalks will depend on priority ranking, correlation to planned projects, <br />reasonable accommodation requests, and available funding. A detailed list of these instances may <br />be obtained upon request to the City of Orono ADA Coordinator. <br />Along with a general condition rating, sidewalks were also inventoried for the presence of <br />obstructions. Table A.2 identifies obstructions collected along sidewalks with planning -level cost <br />estimates for removing the obstruction and a location description. Figure A.4 provides examples of <br />obstructions that are commonly found along sidewalks. <br />Table A.2 - Sidewalk Inventory <br />Planning -Level Cost for <br />Obsruction <br />Location Description <br />Remediation <br />Sidewalk ends 20 feet <br />Gazebo connection in Crystal Bay Playground <br />$660 <br />short of roadway <br />Path Bottlenecks to 30 <br />Park near Navarre water tower at corner of Blaine <br />$500 <br />inches <br />Avenue and Livingston Avenue <br />Sidewalk discontinuities <br />200feet south of Cobblestone Court on sidewalk <br />$1,000 <br />along Willow Drive <br />A.4 <br />
