The City of Golden approved the Golden ADA Transition Plan on March 28, 2023.

-------------------------------------------

Around 26% of adults in the United States live with a disability, experiencing a wide array of obstacles to daily life. That means it's likely that you or someone you know struggles in some way with what the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990 defines as a "disability". Some may experience a physical impairment that limits mobility, vision or hearing. Others may experience a mental impairment that limits other major life activities. The City of Golden aims to ensure that everyone in our community, regardless of ability level, has access to all programs, facilities, services, and civic engagement/participation opportunities provided by the City. This includes access to facilities and programs on public property as well as city-provided digital services.

With guidance from external consultants and following the guidelines provided by Title II of ADA (28 CFR Part 35 Sec. 35.105 and Sec. 35.150), the City of Golden has conducted a self-evaluation of its services, programs, activities, and facilities on public property to determine where we still have work to do. City staff across multiple departments have developed a draft Accessibility Transition Plan detailing the methods to be used to ensure compliance with ADA program accessibility requirements.

  • Share Hello, I just wanted to weigh in about the sidewalks in the east st historic district. Many of these are not wide enough for mobility devices, and don't have proper curb cuts. In particular, on the east side between 18th and 19th and West side between 19th and 20th. It would be wonderful to see these widened as the city does work on the sidewalks moving forward. Thank you for considering. on Facebook Share Hello, I just wanted to weigh in about the sidewalks in the east st historic district.

    Thank you for this input. We have a lot of work to do on sidewalks. We are currently updating the City's Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan and using input we get during the update to help us prioritize sidewalk improvements. I will share your comments with the team working on that plan so that these specific blocks can be included in their effort. If you want to learn more about the Master Plan or provide feedback to them directly, you can find that project at https://www.guidinggolden.com/bike-and-pedestrian-master-plan

    Again, thank you for sharing locations that we should look at for ADA improvements.
