SUBJECT: Town of Sebastopol and Cal Trans:
LACK OF ACCESS WITHIN THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY

Mr. Isler,During your investigations of public entities in California, please survey the City of Sebastopol through which run the California Highways of 116 and 12. Many of the curb ramps which Cal Trans has provided as so steep and hazardous as to be unusable.I have written repeatedly to the City of Sebastopol about the hazardous conditions, and the lack of accessibility in the public right of way. The Sebastopol City Manager has stated that these access violations are within the jurisdiction of Cal-Trans.
At your earliest convenience, please let me know if your investigation team will be able to survey the public right of way Cal-Trans jurisdictions in the City of Sebastopol. If I may be of assistance, please let me know.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
HolLynn D'Lil
