pedestrian circulation routes when coordinating the placement of improvements, appurtenances, <br />utilities, or street furniture. Comments from disability organizations and individuals identified <br />blocked or compromised pedestrian routes as a major barrier to independent travel. <br />Street furniture provisions in this draft have been revised only to accommodate the new format <br />and add advisory information. <br />R212 Bus Stops (technical provisions at R410.2). An advisory note has been added to clarify the <br />difference between establishing a bus stop by installing signage (signage must comply with <br />R210.2) and constructing a bus stop (boarding/alighting areas, if provided, must comply with <br />R410, bus shelters with R410.2). <br />Bus stop provisions in this draft have been revised only to accommodate the new format and add <br />advisory information. <br />R213 Stairways (technical provisions at R407). Stairway provisions in this draft have been <br />revised only to accommodate the new format. <br />R214 Handrails (technical provisions at R408). Handrail provisions in this draft have been <br />revised only to accommodate the new format and add an advisory note on alterations and <br />protruding objects. <br />R215 Vertical Access (technical provisions in ADAAG). Vertical access provisions in this draft <br />have been revised only to accommodate the new format and add an advisory note on elevator use <br />in extremes of terrain. <br />R216 On -Street Parking (scoping at Table R216; technical provisions at R308). Table R216 in <br />this draft has been adapted from the table in ADAAG based upon the overall number of spaces <br />provided within a block (or analog). Commenters strongly objected to scoping based upon the <br />numbers of parking spaces on a block face, which could, in many places, require very high <br />numbers of spaces disproportionate to those required in lots. <br />Additionally, this draft clarifies when, in new construction or alterations, the presence of a <br />sidewalk or border wider than 4.3 m (14 ft) can accommodate an access aisle that is indented into <br />the curb for protected transfer space, a construction that is similar to that of an on -street loading <br />zone provided at an office, hotel, convention center, arena, or airport (R308.2.1). <br />Advisory notes have been added at several places in this section to convey additional information <br />about indented, end -of -block, perpendicular or angled spaces, and signage. <br />R218 Call Boxes (technical provisions at R309). Call box provisions in this draft have been <br />revised only to accommodate the new format and add an advisory note at R309.1 about the <br />applicability of accessible call box technology to other types of communications systems, such as <br />on -street security systems. <br />11 <br />
