The City has developed a transition plan to make City streets, sidewalks and trails more accessible, as outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The transition plan specifically addresses City policies, programs and steps needed to ensure public facilities within public right-of-way are ADA compliant and accessible to all individuals.

The transition plan provides a better understanding of how Brooklyn Center is working to improve access for everyone in the right-of-way, including the addition of pedestrian ramps with truncated domes and audible pedestrian signals.

Comments and Plan Recommendations

The ADA Transition Plan program documents are available for public review in the Engineering Division at City Hall between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Please submit comments or specific recommendations for modifications to the Assistant City Engineer.

Filing a Complaint

Residents with questions or concerns regarding accessibility within the right-of-way are encouraged to contact the Assistant City Engineer by phone or email.

The City is committed to make all City programs, services and activities accessible to everyone. Most complaints can be resolved without resorting to lengthy and costly procedures. If however, you reach at a point where it is necessary to file a formal complaint, please download an ADA Complaint Form and return it to the Title II Coordinator.
