City officials said the new paved path from Main Street into the south entrance to Depot Park would be ADA compliant, but it’s not yet, residents say.
Residents speaking during public comment at the Aug. 24 Clarkston City Council meeting said they were concerned with the gap between the path and the split-rail fence, as well as slope of the path and the steep embankments on both sides of it.
A city resident, who asked not to be identified, acquired a wheelchair to demonstrate the difficulty a person would have to use the wooden handrail currently in place.
At the Aug. 24 meeting, City Manager Carol Eberhardt said the project is not yet finished.
“It’s a work in progress,” Eberhardt said.
