ADA checklists for construction within county right-of-way

For all construction projects within Hennepin County’s right-of-way, the following Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance checklists must be completed and submitted to Hennepin County by the municipality, utility company or developer completing the work.

Checklists

The checklists cover all essential areas for federal compliance with the Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). They should be used throughout construction to guide your work and ensure all ADA-related work meets federal compliance. You can also document reasoning for any non-compliant work

The county is responsible for documenting and reporting that all ADA work is following federal procedures. Your cooperation in completing the checklists will ensure we can do so in a timely manner.
