Lincoln, Roseville, Auburn [0005] Investigation of PROW

UPDATE: I thought you would get a kick out knowing that the Federal Highway Administration got in touch with me about the complaints I had concerning lack of access. Remember when you asked people to compile there access issues on some website. Well in fact they have contacted me and the Sacramento office is sending someone out to look at the violations. I will keep you posted as to how it comes out.

Subject: Investigation of Public Right of Way

Dear Investigator of Pubic Right of Way;

I understand access violations are currently under investigation. I
would like to add my personal list of violations that I encounter
every time I leave my home.

Lincoln:

The Sterling Point Shopping Center on Hwy 65 and East Lincoln Parkway
received outstanding shopping center of 2005. Yet, it has two ADAAG
violations.
An abrupt edge on a sidewalk of a ramp cut at the corner of the World
Saving building is a violation of ADA Section 4.7.5
Along another section of the award winning shopping center, there are
2 stairs and a ramp that extends out in the weather around the
elevation change at the edge of the walkway. Cars pull into up the
edge of the sidewalk with their bumpers narrowing the with of the
ramp in some cases less than 36” also there is no curb safety
railing to mark the edge of the curb violating ADA 4.7.8
Obstructions and 4.8.7 Edge Protection.
Downtown Lincoln has a number of disabled parking places on the
street; all are not compliant with the ADA. They are all steeply
angled, there is no curb cut for access, and they do not allow for
loading and unloading of passengers. Check 5th St and 4th cross
streets G.
I live in a CID called Sun City Lincoln Hills of 6800 homes, it has a
large lovely main clubhouse called the Orchard Creek Lodge and that
front entrance has no accessible curb cuts to the lodge if one has to
park in anything other than disabled parking. Currently people in
wheelchairs or walkers have to travel among the moving vehicles to
enter the main entrance. 965 Orchard Creek Lane

Roseville:

1.West Roseville Highland Reserve Marketplace newly
constructed shopping center installed abrupt edged curb
ramps into sidewalks then they added a post as a barrier rather than
changing the ramps to comply with the ADA. I frequently eat at PASTA
POMODORO. 10341 Fairway Drive Roseville, CA 95678 tel: (916) 772-5202.

Auburn:
1. This is a historic town and many things need to change but what is
glaringly apparent are telephone poles placed in the middle of the
sidewalk and no way to get around it in my wheelchair. There is
currently crews working on the street but nothing is being done about
this impossible to pass condition on Nevada St. in Auburn. I shop a
Eisly Nursery.

Sincerely

Judy Guiraud,
