We will need many years to bring all facilities into compliance due to available resources. We made a tentative schedule using overall cost data. Average facilities unit costs were set to help create the schedule:
Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) = $4,463 each
Curb Ramp = $6,070 each
Driveway = $4,889 each
Sidewalk = $105 per linear foot
With about $1,135,000 available each year for ADA improvement projects, we estimated the amount of work possible each year. We aim to design or construct the following each year:
APS
16–64
Curb Ramps
40–60
Driveways
15–30
Sidewalks (linear feet)
500–2,500
From there, we made this table showing what could be completed in five-year periods:

Curb Ramps (ea.)
APS (ea.)
Driveways (ea.)
Sidewalks (LF)

The number of facilities improved may vary from year to year due to factors such as project areas, available funding, and leadership priorities.
