The following list accomplishes these requirements of the Transition Plan Facility: Dublin Swim Center, 8157 Village Parkway, Dublin, California. Responsible Official: City Manager's Office The parking lot as now configured does not conform to all the handicap parking specifications under the ADA. The Recreation Department is currently working with the School District, who actually own the parking lot, to meet this requirement. Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) and ADAAG standards require that at least one parking spot be at least 96 inches wide. The threshold upon entering the building must be no higher than 1/2". The current threshold is higher than allowed by the ADAAG and UFAS requirements. Additionally, the grade from the parking lot to the entrance is higher than the required 1:15 gradient standard. The current building does not have adequate corridors in which wheelchairs can maneuver. These corridors consist of small turning areas which render parts of the current building non-accessible. The turning areas must be at least 60" x 60". There are obstacles producing barriers to accessibility. These include items such as small work areas and counters which prohibit easy access to parts of the building. 5. The pay phone must be equipped with volume controls. Employee areas, specifically located in the center of the building are non-accessible for the disabled. These areas are required to be at least 60" by 60". This also relates to the work areas not being in compliance as noted in the Transition Plan checklist. 6. The pool does not have a lift. The restrooms are not handicap accessible. The entry way is too small, there are no grab bars or handles, and the sinks do not meet ADA standards. 8. Drinking fountains do not have space underneath them so wheelchairs can access them. The Swim Center is due to be renovated starting in Fall 1993 All of the above barriers will be addressed and the new construction will conform to ADA guidelines. The exact cost of the renovation is unknown, but is estimated to cost in the area of $68,350. The Recreation Department is expecting to utilize grant funds to complete this project and more accurate cost estimates will be formulated at that time. The current completion date is estimated for December, 1993. The center will once again be utilized for summer recreation programs in 1992. Any QID will still have accessibility to the center entering through a side gate. Other issues such as access to the pool will be addressed by the pool manager using employees and other temporary methods to accommodate any QID. The Swim Center has been accommodating many disabled individuals over the past summers and will be able to provide adequate service to the disabled prior to the renovation.
