ADA Report
 
The Department reviewed the elements of The Tech Center 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 4380 Harrison Road in Loudon, TN, was built prior to 1992 and has not been altered since then. The County will make the following modifications to this facility within six months of the effective date of this Agreement:

a. There are two designated accessible parking spaces that lack vertical signage, the International Symbol of Accessibility on the pavement is very faded, the access aisle is not marked appropriately, and there is a built-up curb ramp in the access aisle. Provide at least one van-accessible parking space served by an access aisle at least 96 inches wide. If the two spaces do not share the same access aisle, provide a minimum 60-inch wide access aisle for the other designated space. For the space served by the 96-inch wide access aisle, provide a "van-accessible" sign mounted below the International Symbol of Accessibility in a location that cannot be obscured by a vehicle parked in the space. Provide appropriate signage for the other accessible parking space in a location that cannot be obscured by a vehicle parked in the space. Ensure that the slope and cross-slope of the spaces and access aisles do not exceed 1:50 in any direction (i.e., remove the built-up curb ramp in the access aisle). The two accessible parking spaces may share the same access aisle. Provide a vertical means of access – such as a curb cut – between the sidewalk and the access aisle. Standards §§ 4.1.2(5)(a), (b), 4.6.3, Fig. 9, 4.6.4, Fig. 43(b), 4.6.2, 4.7.
