Project Details

Saint Paul Public Works is working on an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan to enhance accessibility for everyone who lives, work, plays, and does business within the City of Saint Paul. This plan will outline how the city will prioritize investments in infrastructure and accessibility upgrades to improve access for all. 

It will be part of the city's suite of ADA plans. Every department across the city will be taking a look at where and how they serve the public and will be offering their own department specific ADA transition plans in order to improve accessibility across the board, not just in our facilities, but also in our services, our programs, our policies, and the information we give to the public. This is one more way that the City of Saint Paul is committed to going ALL IN to create a city that works for everyone.
