ADA Report
| The Department reviewed the elements of Highland Park School that are used by the voting public: the parking serving the voting area,
the route from the parking area to the area used for voting, and the area used for voting. This facility, located at 4404 Highway 11E, Lenoir City, TN, was
built in 1970 and most recently altered in 2001. The County will make the following modifications to this facility within six months of the effective date of
this Agreement: a. The parking space designated for persons with disabilities is not marked as "van-accessible" and its access aisle is only 68 inches wide. Provide a space with a minimum 96-inch wide access aisle and a sign designating the space as "van-accessible" mounted below the International Symbol of Accessibility in a location that cannot be obscured by a vehicle parked in the space. Ensure that the slope and cross-slope of the space and access aisle does not exceed 1:50. Standards §§ 4.1.6(1)(b), 4.1.2(5)(a), (b), 4.6.3, 4.6.4, Figs. 9, 43(b). b. The sidewalk from the parking to the voting area entrance slopes more than 1:19 and is considered a ramp under the Standards; it lacks handrails and edge protection. Provide handrails on both sides of the ramp that are between 34 and 38 inches high, have extensions of at least 12 inches beyond the top and bottom of the ramp segment, and have ends that are rounded or returned to the floor, wall, or post. Provide edge protection that prevent people who use wheelchairs from slipping off the ramp. Standards §§ 4.1.6(1)(b), 4.1.2(1), 4.3.7, 4.8.5, 4.8.7. c. The voting area entrance to the school has a one-inch threshold. Provide a threshold so that the change in level is no greater than ½ inch and beveled with a slope no greater than 1:2. Standards §§ 4.1.6(1)(b), 4.1.2(1), 4.3.8, 4.5.2.
