Fuqua St./Gracie St. Area ADA Transition
Existing “pedestrian facilities” in the public right-of-way don’t always accommodate the needs of users with disabilities. In Baton Rouge, however, the MOVEBR transportation and infrastructure improvements program has prioritized compliance with the Americans with Disabilities (ADA)-regulations for projects implemented within the Program as a priority. In this effort, Bonton Associates partnered with the City-Parish and MOVEBR to complete the Fuqua St./Gracie St. Area ADA Transitions project which aimed to improve safety, connectivity and accessibility on existing facilities for pedestrians and users with disabilities. which helps all pedestrians reach their destination and enjoy the benefits of public infrastructure.
