The MnDOT Road Design Manual serves as a uniform design guide for engineers and <br />technicians working on MnDOT projects. The document is available to others (such as <br />Hennepin County) as a technical resource. Chapter 11— Special Designs, includes information <br />on the design of pedestrian facilities. The Road Design Manual can be found at <br />(http://roaddesign.dot.state.mn.us/roaddesign.aspx) <br />MnDOT's Pedestrian Accommodations Through Work Zones webpage, <br />http://www.dot.state.mn.us/trafficeng/workzone/apr.htmI contains information on providing <br />accessibility during impacts due to maintenance or construction activities. <br />B. Design Procedures <br />Intersection Corners <br />The City of Orono will attempt to construct or upgrade pedestrian curb ramps to be <br />consistent with Access Board recommended designs parameters and MnDOT ADA design <br />guidance and procedures to the extent feasible within all capital reconstruction projects. <br />There may be limitations which make it technically infeasible for the City to achieve these <br />goals at an intersection corner within the scope of any project. Those limitations will be noted <br />and the intersection corners will be constructed to maximize accessibility to the extent <br />feasible within the project scope. As future projects or opportunities arise, additional <br />improvements at these locations may be incorporated into future projects. The City will strive <br />to ensure that each intersection corner is constructed to be as accessible as possible. <br />2. Sidewalks / Trails <br />The City of Orono will attempt to construct or upgrade sidewalks and trails to be consistent <br />with Access Board recommended designs parameters, MnDOT ADA design guidance and <br />procedures to the extent feasible within all capital improvement projects. There may be <br />limitations which make it technically infeasible for the City to achieve these goals within all <br />segments of sidewalks or trails within the scope of any project. Those limitations will be <br />noted and those segments will be constructed to maximize accessibility to the extent feasible <br />within the project scope. As future projects or opportunities arise, additional improvements <br />at these locations may be incorporated into future projects. The City will strive to ensure that <br />every sidewalk or trail is constructed to be as accessible as possible. <br />F.3 <br />
