Add a handicap space

Traffic Engineering determines if any additional handicapped parking spaces are needed at existing facilities and at new businesses. Planning requirement for off-street spaces must be met first. Consideration will be taken for the requirement that the handicapped space be as near as practicable to the handicapped accessible entrance. The path between the space and the entrance also needs to be ADA compliant.

Traffic Engineering places these devices when needed on public streets and City property. Private entities are not to place sign or markings on public property. The property owner is responsible for installing and maintaining the signs and pavement markings necessary for any off-street parking space.
