01. BACKGROUND & HISTORY:
In 1990, the United States Congress passed the first Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). ADA mandates reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities to ensure they have the same opportunities and access to programs and facilities as those without disabilities. The City of Corona is primarily responsible for compliance with Title II standards, which address Public Services. Both the federal government and the State of California have issued and amended Title II standards over the years that set building and public facility requirements for accessibility. These standards include requirements to display appropriate signage, provide accessible stalls within parking lots, and ensure accessible routes to and from surfacing under playgrounds and amenities, as well as fixture heights, specific hardware, and clearances to ensure access to public restrooms.
The City is currently in the process of making ADA improvements at 33 City parks over a five (5) year period. This project is for seven (7) parks, in the fourth year of the project, including Fairview, Mangular, Rimpau, Serfas Club, Spyglass, Stagecoach, and Village Parks.
