The City of Harrisonburg has adopted an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Transition Plan for the public right-of-way (streets and accompanying mobility infrastructure) to document current accessibility deficiencies and establish policies and procedures to make transportation facilities in Harrisonburg accessible to all, regardless of ability, over time. This plan covers public pedestrian infrastructure types including walkways (sidewalks and shared use paths), intersections (curb ramps, crosswalks, pedestrian signals), on-street parking, bus stops, and work zones. Note the plan does not cover City properties, buildings, programs, or services that are outsie of the public right-of-way (such as transit service and parks).
