Public workshop: enhancing accessibility

The City of Evanston is seeking input from the community as part of its Accessibility is Freedom: Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan Update.

In partnership with Altura Solutions, the city aims to create a blueprint for Evanston to enhance accessibility throughout its parks, municipal facilities, sidewalks and intersections, and programs and services well into the next decade. The process seeks to ensure everyone in the community can fully navigate Evanston’s public spaces and activities.

Get involved
