Belmont is proud to support the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

We celebrate this important civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. We've made accessibility easier in Belmont with the many projects we’ve worked on and look forward to more in the future. 

Active Projects

Davey Glen Road

July 15 to Dec. 30, 2023

To help further the implementation of the ADA Transition Plan, we’re working to improve ADA access along Davey Glen Road by improving the sidewalks to allow for wheelchair access, placing truncated domes for the visually impaired, and improving cross-slopes, and driveway approaches. 

In mid-July, residents along Davey Glen Road can expect to see construction of sidewalk improvements with an anticipated project completion by end of the year. Our Public Works team is working with agency partners to address any noise and traffic control during construction.

Neighbors directly affected by the work will receive advance construction notices from our contractor with specific hours and dates of planned work. Naturally, schedules can change, and we thank our neighbors for their understanding and cooperation during this necessary work.

During work hours and while the project is active, please drive, walk, or bike carefully when traveling through the work zone.

Did you know: The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that private businesses open to the public provide ADA access, so it goes beyond just public streets and sidewalks. To learn more about the Act and how we are continually improving accessibility in Belmont, scroll down this page.

Note: It is also against the law to retaliate, threaten or interfere with anyone who is exercising his or her rights or anyone helping that person to do so.

In accordance with Title II, of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the City of Belmont has designated an ADA Coordinator to oversee and coordinate the efforts of the City of Belmont to comply with Title II. The City of Belmont has adopted a grievance procedure providing for prompt and equitable resolution of complaints alleging noncompliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
