CDBG Curb Ramp Replacement

The City of Fairfield is utilizing up to $150,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to replace non-compliant sidewalk corners and curb ramps with new ADA-compliant infrastructure. The project specifically targets subdivisions constructed between the 1950s and 1960s, with a primary focus on the intersection of Pacific Avenue and Union Avenue in Fairfield, California. The scope is limited to the replacement of existing features to meet federal accessibility standards and does not include any capacity expansion. This project is classified as a forecast and is designated as a ministerial action under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), qualifying for a categorical exemption under Section 15302. Administrative requirements include the filing of a Notice of Exemption and the payment of a $50 filing fee to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The City of Fairfield serves as the lead agency and project applicant, with key points of contact including Associate Planner Yee-Lynn Wong and Senior Civil Engineer David Vogn. All work must adhere to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility guidelines.
