This Board Order is a request to install a new crosswalk on Summer St at Cherry St. To install a new crosswalk, a new crosswalk is mandated to comply with the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These standards mandate ADA ramps (in compliance with the latest ADA ramp specifications) at each end of the crosswalk.
