Please Note: Paragraph 33 of the
Settlement Agreement requires that within 12 months of the effective date of
this Agreement, the City will provide signage as necessary to comply with 28
C.F.R. § 35.163(b), after having surveyed all facilities that are the subject
of this Agreement for the purpose of identifying those that have multiple
entrances not all of which are accessible.
In order to ensure that the
following spaces and elements in the City’s facilities, for which construction
was commenced before January 26, 1992 and for which alterations took place on
or after January 26, 1992, are readily accessible to and usable by persons with
