Peoria Public Works is seeking public input as the city prepares to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility.
Residents are encouraged to take an online survey alerting the city to problem spots like faulty ramps, curb cuts and pedestrian signals that make travel difficult. An interactive map also allows people to pin areas where curb ramps are missing or in disrepair, for example, sidewalks are in poor condition, or other obstructions or access issues exist.
The survey and map are available on the City of Peoria's website through Feb. 9 as the beginning stage of an ADA Transition Plan, which helps cities and towns come into compliance with laws ensuring public places are accessible to people with disabilities.
As part of the survey, the city said it also wants to know resident priorities navigating their daily travel, such as pedestrian safety near schools, walkability or easier right-of-way routes for seniors.
