The presentations below were recorded on July 26, 2016. The viewer is strongly encouraged to check the Iowa DOT Design Manual or the SUDAS Manual to determine if there have been any changes since that time.
Staff from Iowa DBEs, Iowa local agencies, or Iowa DOT are invited to join us for this free accessible sidewalk/curb ramp design and construction workshop. This workshop is different than those offered in previous years. Some of the design manual information will be covered, but the focus will be on issues that occur in the field (see the agenda). The audience of the presentation and discussion materials developed are primarily those working in the field and either just starting to design and construct sidewalks/curb ramps or those that would like a refresher discussion.
This workshop will address the design and construction of accessible sidewalks and curb ramps. A variety of topics will be discussed with a majority of the focus on issues and considerations related to efforts completed in the field.
