identifying those that have multiple entrances not all of which are accessible.
1.
The technical
requirements and, where appropriate, the scoping requirements of the Standards
are used as a guide for determining whether a program or activity held in an
existing facility is Areadily accessible to and usable by@ persons with disabilities and for
determining what changes are necessary to make this program or activity
accessible if it continues to be provided in the existing facility in
question. See 28 C.F.R. '' 35.150(b)(1), 35.151.
2.
In order to
ensure that each of the City programs, services, and activities operating at a
facility that is the subject of this Agreement, when viewed in its entirety,
are readily accessible to and usable by persons with mobility impairments, the
City will take the following actions:
