Sidewalk, Handicap Parking in at Dog Park
Repair and improvements have begun at the dog park (at Two Rivers Park), which closed over three years ago after violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) were reported, a fact pointed out to the city by a Fillmore resident who uses a wheelchair. Pictured are a concrete sidewalk connecting C Street to the park playground, and handicap parking on, also on C Street. In 2020 the cost to make the necessary corrections (dog park) would have been $52,000, which the City of Fillmore decided not to do. The corrections called for the city to redesign, relocate and enlarge the gates and provide an accessible route to the benches. ADA corrections were also needed regarding the parking lot, play spaces, skate park, and athletic field seating. The City Council voted in 2020 to pay approximately $200,000 for the violations in the other areas, along with the dog park.
