The guidance entitled "Common Problems >>>> Arising in the Installation of Accessible Pedestrian Signals" >>>> reviews access features of available products, including locator >>>> tones, audible and vibrotactile indicators of crossing cycles, >>>> and signal volume, as well as explains important considerations >>>> in the placement and orientation of signal devices. The low- >>>> volume indicators of current products make proper installation >>>> essential in order for signals to be effective. The publication >>>> uses case studies and field evaluations to illustrate various >>>> installation do's and don'ts' in relation to common site >>>> conditions and factors. The publication, which includes an >>>> installation checklist, is available at http://snipurl.com/mdyp2 >>>> along with other resources on accessible public rights-of-way. >>>> >>>> 6.

The shop has existed and been in business since >>>> 1972. There are no conversions or alterations going on. The owner >>>> was told he is violating the ADA because the shop does not have >>>> an accessible entrance due to the four-inch threshold at the >>>> door. There is also a complaint that the bathrooms are not >>>> accessible. The owner is willing to modify the entrance but is >>>> afraid that if he does he will have to put in new restrooms and >>>> he cannot afford to do so. What is the owner required to do? >>>> >>>> Thanks to Jennie Miller for a response that is consistent with >>>> the answer: The answer is that "In this instance, the coffee >>>> shop owner is required to provide an accessible entrance to >>>> comply with Title III of the ADA because the modification is >>>> readily achievable. However, the restrooms would not have to be >>>> modified at this time if a determination has been made that it is >>>> not readily achievable.
