Point Reyes National Seashore Studying Accessibility Issues

Share

Officials at Point Reyes National Seashore in California are taking a look at how accessible their park is to all visitors, a study that will help address accessibility issues across the National Park System.

The seashore's Accessibility Transition Plan is intended to identify "a spectrum of key park experiences and areas at Point Reyes and recommends strategies for improving the accessibility at each location. The plan will guide changes to existing services, activities, and programs by defining barriers and recommending both physical and programmatic improvements to improve accessibility for all visitors."

An open house on the plan is scheduled for July 30 from 5:30 p.m.-7 p.m. at the Bay Model Visitor Center, 2100 Bridgeway, Sausalito, California. The public open house will include a brief presentation describing the planning process, followed by the opportunity to ask questions and share perspectives. Public input is important to the planning process and key to ensuring Point Reyes National Seashore is more accessible to all visitors.

If you will need any accommodations to participate, such as assistive listening devices, large print, braille, a sign language interpreter, or real time captioning, please contact the park accessibility coordinator John Dell’Osso at 415-464-5135 or via email at john_a_dell’[email protected]. To ensure that the requested accommodations are available, please contact the accessibility coordinator a minimum of seven days prior to the meeting.

You can learn more about the program at this website. The 30-day public comment period ends August 14, 2015.
