Accessibility and Right-of-Way

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), enacted in 1990, provides comprehensive civil rights protections to persons with disabilities in many areas, including access to government services, access to public rights-of-way, and transportation. In 2023, the City of Snohomish adopted an ADA Transition Plan, required elements of the federally- mandated ADA Title II, which requires that government agencies ensure equal access to programs and services. Once identified as a hazard, the City has an obligation to taxpayers, residents, merchants, visitors and our public to remove physical barriers associated within the public right-of-way. Maintaining safe and open sidewalks requires collaboration between the City and property owners. Keeping sidewalks clear of hazards, including furniture, signs, planters, snow, ice, and overgrown hedges is the responsibility of property owners.
