Impact analysis
Remediation costs run from about $200 for minor fixes to several thousand dollars per item, to be spread through capital projects and maintenance over roughly ten years.
Everyone — about a quarter of Turlock residents report a disability, and accessible routes help seniors, parents with strollers, and wheelchair users alike.
Homeowners remain responsible for sidewalk repairs in front of their own property; ADA rules don't shift that cost to the city.
