Skyline has completed a Self-Evaluation of pedestrian facilities within its jurisdiction and an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan that documents the following:

1. Self-Evaluation Process
2. Identified Barriers to Accessibility in Pedestrian Infrastructure
3. Plan and Schedule for Removal of Barriers from the System

Please go to the following link to see the draft ADA Transition Plan for Skyline and provide your comments on the draft plan in the comment box provided in this page.

The City of Skyline will adopt Part 1 as the full ADA Transition Plan for the City.

Part 1 – Draft MAPO ADA Transition Plan
This is the overarching MAPO ADA Transition Plan and Inventory document that identifies process requirements, methodology, and public outreach for all MAPO Partner Agencies.

Overview

As part of a larger effort led by the Mankato/North Mankato Area Planning Organization (MAPO), the City of Skyline is working to ensure pedestrian infrastructure throughout the City is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Each jurisdiction within MAPO is performing a Self-Evaluation of the policies, practices and pedestrian infrastructure within public rights-of-way to identify ADA deficiencies that pose barriers to safe and efficient access for all users. Each jurisdiction will also complete an ADA Transition Plan that will provide a plan, schedule, and planning-level costs for upgrading pedestrian infrastructure and the removal of barriers to accessibility within the public rights of way.

Data Collection for the Skyline Self-Evaluation will take place in November 2017. The Skyline ADA Transition Plan development process will conclude in March of 2019 and will be included in the greater MAPO ADA Transition Plan document along with the other MAPO jurisdictions.
Please visit this page for updates to the project schedule, notifications of upcoming public meetings, and other materials prepared as part of this process.
