City of Salem, Massachusetts PART A – Executive Summary December 2019 Prepared by the 200 Portland Street, First Floor Boston, MA 02114 [PHONE REDACTED] voice/tty www.IHCDesign.org ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem Part A – Executive Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 1 Part A – Executive Summary Introduction The Institute for Human Centered Design (IHCD) has prepared this report on behalf of the City of Salem as part of the City’s ongoing effort to assess the current level of ADA compliance in programs, services and activities and City-owned facilities. In preparing for this report, IHCD teams surveyed the City’s portfolio of facilities and properties that were included in the Request for Proposal. The building facility set includes twenty-five (25) public buildings – including two Fire Stations and eight public schools and their playgrounds. The accessibility survey of those facilities includes all the spaces where the City offers programs, services and activities to members of the public. The outdoor facility set includes twelve (12) parks/outdoor areas. The accessibility survey of those spaces encompassed elements such as accessible routes, walking surfaces, slopes, picnic tables, play areas and recreational areas. These twelve (12) parks/outdoor areas include the City’s major parks as well as representative smaller parks. In addition, two parking garages and the parking lot near the City Hall Annex were also surveyed; the accessibility survey of those facilities includes elements such as accessible routes, accessible parking spaces and accessible egresses at the garages. IHCD also did a plan review for the Forest River Park (Pool Bathhouse). The plan review for Bertram Field will be sent at a later date. IHCD submitted separate reports for each facility that was surveyed. To assist in prioritizing accessibility improvements to ensure compliance with the ADA Title II, each of the building and outdoor area reports include an overview that identifies the most substantial accessibility issues and order of magnitude cost estimates for corrective action. Additionally, a detailed catalog that supplements the ADA Self-Evaluation narrative overview is also included. The catalog provides element-by-element photos of compliance issues, location and measurements - when applicable - at each assessed facility accompanied by recommendations and cost estimation for each accessibility issue. In addition, a spreadsheet of priorities for corrective action organized by type of building and including order of magnitude costs was provided to the City. When the City presents findings and recommendations to the community and receives feedback, some recommendations may need cost adjustment. These spreadsheets are a capital planning and budgeting tool - the “ADA ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem Part A – Executive Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 2 Transition Plan” - and is intended as a long-term tool to update as work is completed. The City should make a good faith effort to complete the work in a reasonable time. (IHCD recommends a three to five-year period). The ADA regulations do not set out precise timeframes to complete the work, we are basing the timeframes on conversations with the Department of Justice and their Project Civic Access settlement agreement with municipalities. Together, the ADA Self- Evaluation and ADA Transition Plan will enable the City to make substantial progress in meeting its ADA responsibilities. The recommendations for corrective action of policies and procedures of the ADA Self-Evaluation are not included in the ADA Transition Plan since that is limited to capital accessibility issues. But they are a blueprint for meeting compliance responsibilities other than capital expenses. IHCD also submitted a complete assessment of the City’s policies, practices and procedures. The ADA administrative requirements help ensure that the needs of people with disabilities are addressed in all services, programs and activities that the City provides. See the complete summary in Part B – Evaluation of Non – Discriminatory Policies and Practices in Programs, Services and Activities report. A complete website accessibility report that provides information about website accessibility issues and recommendations for corrective measures was also submitted. Most City-owned facilities recently altered or renovated are substantially accessible and meet most architectural requirements. Continued facility alterations, and/or renovations will significantly reduce barriers and realize the City’s commitment to inclusion and equal rights. In the meantime, the greatest problems posed by existing barriers can be ameliorated by establishing policies and procedures to accommodate members of the community with disabilities. It is worth noting that the City has taken several significant steps in this direction:  The City of Salem has hired a consultant (IHCD) to undertake its ADA self-evaluation (as the basis for the City’s Transition Plan).  The City of Salem has an ADA Coordinator in place.  The City has adopted a Public Notice Policy (posted on the City’s website).  The City has developed a Grievance Procedure (posted on the City’s website).  The City has begun an extensive study regarding the City's sidewalks and pedestrian ramps. To date, every pedestrian ramp has been evaluated and city staff are exploring ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem Part A – Executive Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 3 the feasibility of conducting an assessment of the entire sidewalk network so that the City may develop a prioritized maintenance plan that will be coordinated with a similar plan that has been developed for the roadways. IHCD’s review and recommendations of the City-owned facilities was based on compliance with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design if not compliant with the 1991 ADA Standards and/or 521 CMR of the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board. Best practice and inclusive design recommendations were also provided for each property. Inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the accessibility standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users. Many key facilities and outdoor areas are generally usable by people with disabilities but are not in full compliance with current accessibility requirements. City Hall, for instance, provides access to many programs and can be accessed by most people because the building features an accessible entrance and has an accessible route to all floors. Yet some of the key areas such as the City Council Chambers and City Council Anteroom lack accessible work surfaces (with knee and toe clearance) and service counters at a few departments are higher than the maximum height allowed, a key component to access some of the services provided by the City. The Library is another example of a facility that provides access to most programs but not all. While the building has accessible single-user toilet rooms, they each requires some renovations in order to be fully accessible and useable by individuals with disabilities. The City may comply with the requirements of Title II of the ADA through means such as reassignment of services to accessible buildings or delivery of services at alternate accessible sites. The City may also comply with the requirements by renovation or alteration of existing facilities and/or construction of new facilities, or any other methods that result in making the City’s services, programs or activities readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. Note that a public entity is not required to make structural changes in existing facilities where other methods are effective in achieving compliance with this section. In choosing among available methods for meeting the requirements of the ADA, the City of Salem shall give priority to those methods that offer services, programs, and activities to qualified individuals with disabilities in the most integrated setting appropriate. In order to comply with the program accessibility obligations, the City of Salem should consider: 1. Relocation of its programs, services and activities within current facility ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem Part A – Executive Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 4 Often the simplest solution is for the City to use what it already has in place. IHCD strongly recommends the relocation of programs, services and activities to accessible locations within the facility if they are provided at inaccessible locations. 2. Relocation of its programs, services and activities to another facility When it is not possible to relocate program, services, and activities within the current facility, they should be relocated to an accessible facility. Due to the unique programs and the lack of accessibility at the Fire Prevention Office and the Code Enforcement Office, IHCD recommends that the City not use the building for its programs, services and activities. Suggest relocating the Fire Prevention Office and the Code Enforcement Office or undertaking a renovation/alteration of the building. The same problem applies to the Electrical Department, if there is insufficient space to provide an accessible work surface for filling out and reviewing forms on the first floor, the program should be relocated. 3. Renovation/alteration of its facilities to ensure access to programs, services and activities The City may consider the renovation of its inaccessible facilities to ensure that the programs, services and activities are offered in the most integrated seating possible. Note that any corrective actions needed to ensure program accessibility must comply with the requirements of the 2010 ADA Standards and/or 521 CMR. Furthermore, when doing alterations/renovations, keep in mind that an alteration that decreases the accessibility of a building bellow the requirements for new construction at the time of the alteration is prohibited. To determine which buildings must be made accessible, the City should consider:  How to provide each program in the most integrated setting appropriate;  The locations where the activities are offered;  Which facilities are accessible and to what extent. Key Recommendations for the Building Facilities: ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem Part A – Executive Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 5  Ensure there is an accessible route from all arrival points to those areas in the building where programs, services and activities are provided.  If parking is provided, ensure fully accessible parking spaces are provided.  Ensure that fully accessible toilet rooms are provided in each building. Where it is technically infeasible to provide accessible multi-user toilet rooms, provide an accessible single-user toilet room in the same area as the existing multi-user toilet rooms.  Ensure that where services or activities are offered there is a sufficient number of accessible features (accessible wheelchair seating areas, accessible counters, accessible work surfaces, etc.). Particular attention should be given to some departments at the City Hall and first floor of the Library where key services are being offered to the community.  If audible communication is integral to the use of a space, provide a compliant assistive listening system. This should be a priority at the City Council Chambers at City Hall and the Auditorium at the Police Headquarters.  Ensure that those features of facilities and equipment that are required to be readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities are maintained in operable working condition elevators or automatic door openers).  Police Station: the holding cells at this location are not fully accessible, making them compliant may be technically infeasible. The City should ensure that Program Accessibility is provided as needed by transferring detainees to an accessible location Essex County Correctional Facility). Key recommendations for the Public Schools:  Ensure that fully accessible toilet rooms are provided in each building. As mentioned before, where it is technically infeasible to provide accessible multi-user toilet rooms provide an accessible single-user toilet room in the same area as the existing multi-user toilet rooms. In unique rooms such as a nurse’s room, ensure that a fully accessible toilet room is provided. This includes maintaining the clear floor space at all fixtures free of any storage.  Ensure that accessible sinks (with knee and toe clearance) are provided in at least one classroom per grade. If accessible sinks are already provided, ensure they have insulated pipes. ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem Part A – Executive Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 6  Ensure accessible work surfaces are provided in at least one classroom per grade. Furthermore, ensure that specialized classrooms labs, mechanical drawing rooms etc.) all have accessible work surfaces.  Ensure that all elements in the classrooms are within reach range emergency showers and dispensers in toilet rooms).  If audible communication is integral to the use of a space, provide a compliant assistive listening system. This should be a priority in classrooms or auditoriums where speakers are provided. When looking at outdoor facilities, the City of Salem needs to ensure that a sufficient number of locations are accessible. For instance, Salem offers a variety of experiences at its parks/outdoor areas e.g., playgrounds, picnic areas, playing fields, beaches access, etc. The City needs to make sure that a sufficient number of each type of these facilities is accessible. The City also needs to keep in mind that each unique program needs to be accessible. The City should ensure that privately owned and/or operated facilities on City property are in compliance with the ADA so as to enable the City to meet its Title II obligations. Salem has some excellent amenities such as accessible picnic tables with integrated seating spaces or accessible hockey rinks that IHCD recommends the City use in other locations to ensure that people with disabilities can participate in all the outdoor programs Picnic Table - Collins Cove Park Hockey Rink Collins Cove Park Key Recommendations for the Outdoor Facilities:  Ensure there is an accessible route to all elements in the park/outdoor space (baseball fields, basketball courts, playgrounds, picnic areas, toilet facilities, etc.). ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem Part A – Executive Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 7 A good example are the amenities at Collins Cove Park, where accessible routes are provided to many of the amenities in the park. Collins Cove Park  Ensure there is a clear floor space adjacent to the bench at team seating areas and spectator seating areas at the baseball fields, basket courts, etc. Left: diagram for team seating. Right: Diagram for spectator seating shows shoulder alignment between the wheelchair user and person seated on the bench.  Ensure that accessible routes are provided to and around playgrounds; in addition, ensure that an accessible route is provided in the play area to all play components. A few of the playgrounds have Engineered Wood Fiber (EWF) as surface. Note that the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB) does not consider Engineered Wood Fiber (EWF) to comply with its regulation requiring an accessible route to and around playground equipment. The ADA does not require that all parks and playgrounds be made accessible, the City’s obligation is to ensure Program Accessibility. To determine which parks, playgrounds and outdoor spaces must be made accessible, the City should consider:  How to provide the program in the most integrated setting appropriate; ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem Part A – Executive Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 8  Locations where the activities are offered;  Which outdoor areas are accessible and to what extent;  Level of dispersion of the accessible outdoor areas (playgrounds, baseball fields, soccer fields, beaches, etc.,) and convenience to reach them (accessible by car or pedestrian routes). McGrath Park recommended accessible routes The image above shows suggested locations for a 48” minimum accessible route to and around the playground (red lines), and for a 60” minimum accessible routes to each play component in the playground (green lines) - recommended poured-in-place rubber.  Ensure that a certain number of amenities (at least in the parks/outdoor spaces are accessible picnic tables, service counters at concession stands, etc.).  At parks with beach access, ensure that accessible routes are provided to the normal recreation water level (lakes, ponds and reservoirs) or the high tide level (tidal beaches).  Where portable toilets are provided, ensure an accessible portable toilet is provided in the same area. Ensure the accessible portable toilet is on an accessible route. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Salem, Massachusetts PART B – Evaluation of Non- discriminatory Policies & Practices in Programs, Services & Activities October 2019 Prepared by the 200 Portland Street, First Floor Boston, MA 02114 [PHONE REDACTED] voice/tty www.IHCDesign.org ---PAGE BREAK--- DRAFT REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem, MA PART B – Evaluation of Non-discriminatory Policies & Practices in Programs, Services & Activities Oct. 2019 www.IHCDesign.org • 200 Portland Street, Boston MA USA • [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty page 2 Introduction In an effort to provide and maintain compliance with the American with Disabilities Act, the City of Salem, Massachusetts contracted with the Institute for Human Centered Design (IHCD) to undertake a comprehensive assessment of its policies, practices and procedures as well as its facilities to determine compliance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The review and recommendations provided in this assessment also go beyond strict compliance assessment to recommend enhancements to current conditions that would result in a more usable, inclusive and welcoming environment for members of the Salem community. Information about corrective action will include recommendations based on Title II of the ADA as well as recommended “best practice” for each aspect that requires action. The assessment included non-discrimination in policies, practices and procedures for all of the City’s programs, services and activities including those related to effective communication and policies, practices and procedures relative to employment. Corrective action is needed in policies and procedures to create written policies that would ensure the City of Salem’s compliance with applicable laws. In addition, the City may wish to consider making a commitment to a more accessible website to address issues identified by the Website Accessibility and Usability Review. Choosing to make the website completely accessible would make it available to site visitors who use assistive technology such as screen readers as well as to website visitors with a mix of other functional limitations. The website is also a valuable asset in communicating the City’s commitment to equal opportunity for people with disabilities through a clear statement and contact information for the ADA Coordinator. It can also provide a helpful opportunity to share information about accessible routes to reaching the City’s programs and activities including meetings as well as requesting effective communication or modification of policies. This report summarizes IHCD’s findings of ADA Title II compliance. The information pertinent to this assessment was obtained by an on-line ADA questionnaire developed by the Institute for Human Centered Design (IHCD) and submitted by twenty four (24) Departments from the City of Salem and from the City’s website. This mix of sources constitutes the basis for this compliance assessment report. It is clear that the City understands its obligations under Title II of the ADA, but additional steps are necessary to ensure that people with disabilities enjoy the same opportunities to participate in its programs, services and activities as Salem residents without disabilities. ---PAGE BREAK--- DRAFT REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem, MA PART B – Evaluation of Non-discriminatory Policies & Practices in Programs, Services & Activities Oct. 2019 www.IHCDesign.org • 200 Portland Street, Boston MA USA • [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty page 3 Analysis Title II of the ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. Specifically, Title II requires that: No qualified individual with a disability shall, on the basis of disability, be excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of the services, programs, or activities of a public entity, or be subjected to discrimination by any public entity (28 CFR Part 35.130 This report is divided into sections where these requirements apply. Each section includes the applicable citation from Title II of the ADA; IHCD’s summary of findings after reviewing answers from the ADA questionnaire and information from the website. It also includes IHCD’s recommendations for the City of Salem to implement. I - Designation of Responsible Employee Title II of the ADA makes clear that a public entity must designate a responsible employee and adopt grievance processes. A public entity that employs 50 or more persons shall designate at least one employee to coordinate its efforts to comply with and carry out its responsibilities under this part, including any investigation of any complaint communicated to it alleging its noncompliance with this part or alleging any actions that would be prohibited by this part. The public entity shall make available to all interested individuals the name, office address, and telephone number of the employee or employees designated pursuant to this paragraph. (28 CFR Part 35.107 Title II provides little specific guidance for implementing this requirement but the primary role of the designated employee, also called the ADA Coordinator, is making sure that the City is in compliance with the requirements. Finding The City of Salem has met its obligation to designate a responsible employee by designating Lisa Cammarata as the City’s ADA Coordinator. Recommendations The City should consider clarifying for its entire community and City employees the name and scope of responsibilities of the ADA Coordinator. Highlighting this information will improve ---PAGE BREAK--- DRAFT REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem, MA PART B – Evaluation of Non-discriminatory Policies & Practices in Programs, Services & Activities Oct. 2019 www.IHCDesign.org • 200 Portland Street, Boston MA USA • [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty page 4 compliance and make for more efficient operations with respect to the needs of members of the public with disabilities. Furthermore, clarification on the ADA Coordinator will:  Make it easier for the City to be proactive in meeting the needs of members of the public with disabilities;  Help the City to develop and articulate a clear vision and mission with regard to members of the public with disabilities;  Reduce confusion and improve the City’s day-to-day operations with respect to members of the public with disabilities;  Permit employees to respond more quickly to needs as they arise because they have a primary contact for addressing these needs;  Build in-house expertise and capacity;  Prevent confusion and help ensure that candidates for employment, employees and the public have a clear understanding of their responsibilities and rights under the ADA. II – Grievance Procedures Title II of the ADA requires a public entity to adopt an adequate grievance process. A public entity that employs 50 or more persons shall adopt and publish grievance procedures providing for prompt and equitable resolution of complaints alleging any action that would be prohibited by this part. (28 CFR Part 35.107 Findings The City has a Grievance Procedure on its website, and some departments have the Grievance Procedure on file. However, it is not clear if staff in all departments are aware of their ADA obligation and the process for meeting the requirement for grievance procedures. Some departments responded “My department has not implemented any ADA Grievance Procedures”, that “This is not applicable to my department since I am not aware of any” that it is “Not applicable” or that the respondent was “Not aware of any”. Other departments mentioned that they simply “Don’t know”. Recommendations The City should take steps to clarify its grievance process regarding members of the public. IHCD recommends:  Ensure the Grievance Procedure is distributed to all department heads, and post copies of it in noticeable locations in each of the City’s public buildings. ---PAGE BREAK--- DRAFT REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem, MA PART B – Evaluation of Non-discriminatory Policies & Practices in Programs, Services & Activities Oct. 2019 www.IHCDesign.org • 200 Portland Street, Boston MA USA • [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty page 5  Ensure City employees and the public are aware of the Grievance Procedure process and that City employees can provide information to members of the public about the process when appropriate. III – Notice Title II of the ADA requires that public entities notify participants of its non-discrimination policies: A public entity shall make available to applicants, participants, beneficiaries, and other interested persons information regarding the provisions of this part and its applicability to the services, programs, or activities of the public entity, and make such information available to them in such manner as the head of the entity finds necessary to apprise such persons of the protections against discrimination assured them by the Act and this part. (28 CFR Part 35.106) Findings The City has a Notice posted on its website (located in the City of Salem Open Space & Recreation Plan Update 2015 Appendix However, from the responses submitted by staff it seems that the City of Salem does not have a uniform policy regarding the posting of ADA Non-Discrimination Notices for members of the public. Multiple City departments reported that Notices were not posted, or that the respondent was not sure if they were posted. Recommendations The City should take steps to clarify the posting of the Notice of Non-Discrimination policy to comply with the ADA Title II that states that public entities shall take initial steps to notify program/service participants, beneficiaries and employees of its obligations:  Clarify that the City will provide auxiliary aids and services upon request. Recommend adding the following to the Notice: If you need auxiliary aids and services for effective communication (such as sign language interpreter, an assistive listening device or print material in digital format) or a reasonable modification in programs, services or activities contact the ADA Coordinator as soon as possible preferably [xx] days before the activity or event.  Distribute the Notice to all department heads. Copies should also be provided to any person upon request.  Publish the Notice in all the materials distributed by the City; post the Notice prominently on the City’s website and post copies in public locations in the City’s buildings. ---PAGE BREAK--- DRAFT REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem, MA PART B – Evaluation of Non-discriminatory Policies & Practices in Programs, Services & Activities Oct. 2019 www.IHCDesign.org • 200 Portland Street, Boston MA USA • [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty page 6  Include the ADA Coordinator’s name, address, telephone number and email address on materials and publications that contain general information disseminated to staff and members of the public. IV - Reasonable Modification of Policies, Practices and Procedures Title II of the ADA requires state and local governments to modify its policies when necessary to avoid discrimination: A public entity shall make reasonable modifications in policies, practices, or procedures when the modifications are necessary to avoid discrimination on the basis of disability, unless the public entity can demonstrate that making the modifications would fundamentally alter the nature of the service, program, or activity. (28 CFR Part 32.130 From the responses submitted, it appears that the City of Salem has not sufficiently developed written policies and/or procedures to ensure compliance with the ADA. In fact, of the twenty four (24) departments that responded to the IHCD survey, only the Traffic & Parking Department reported having written policies and/or procedures. Also, the Human Resources and Police Departments reported that they did have difficulty providing an accommodation or modification when requested. Specifically, the Police Department reported having difficulty addressing the needs of individuals with visual and hearing based functional limitations, and the Department also had difficulty providing physical access for a wheelchair user because the elevator has been broken for some time. Recommendations The City should develop written policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the ADA. IHCD recommends:  Salem should ensure that City employees can provide information to members of the public about the process of requesting reasonable modification of policies when appropriate.  Salem should also ensure that the form for requesting reasonable modifications of policies is in the City’s website, and state the commitment to provide copies in accessible formats upon request.  Include the ADA Coordinator’s name, address, telephone number and email address on materials and publications that contain general information disseminated to staff and members of the public. ---PAGE BREAK--- DRAFT REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem, MA PART B – Evaluation of Non-discriminatory Policies & Practices in Programs, Services & Activities Oct. 2019 www.IHCDesign.org • 200 Portland Street, Boston MA USA • [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty page 7 V – Eligibility Criteria A Title II entity may not impose eligibility criteria that may prevent a person with a disability from participating in its programs, services or activities: A public entity shall not impose or apply eligibility criteria that screen out or tend to screen out an individual with a disability or any class of individuals with disabilities from fully and equally enjoying any service, program, or activity, unless such criteria can be shown to be necessary for the provision of the service, program, or activity being offered. (28 CFR Part 35.130 This requires that ADA Title II entities may not impose eligibility criteria that either screen out or tend to screen out persons with disabilities, unless it can show that such requirements are necessary for the provision of the service, program or activity. Findings Some departments responded to the online questionnaire indicating that they have eligibility criteria such as residency. The Police Department also has eligibility criteria based on school grade (Youth Summer Camp/YSC, Youth Power Bld/YPB) These requirements might be necessary for the provision of the service, program or activity, and are permitted under the ADA. VI - Employment and Reasonable Accommodation Title II of the ADA prohibits discrimination on employment on the basis of disability: No qualified individual with a disability shall, on the basis of disability, be subjected to discrimination in employment under any service, program, or activity conducted by a public entity. (28 CFR Part 35.140 This requires that ADA Title II entities make reasonable accommodation to qualified employees with disabilities. Reasonable accommodation may include modifying work schedules, job restructuring, and making facilities used by employees readily accessible to employees with a disability. Note that the requirements of Title I of the ADA, as established by the regulations of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 29 CFR Part 1630, apply to employment in any service, program, or activity conducted by a public entity if that public entity is also subject to the jurisdiction of ADA Title I. (28 CFR Part 35.140 ---PAGE BREAK--- DRAFT REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem, MA PART B – Evaluation of Non-discriminatory Policies & Practices in Programs, Services & Activities Oct. 2019 www.IHCDesign.org • 200 Portland Street, Boston MA USA • [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty page 8 Findings From the responses received from the ADA questionnaire, there is no evidence that the City has failed to provide reasonable accommodation to its employees. Many department heads responded that they have policies regarding reasonable accommodations in place. No policy was submitted to IHCD. Recommendations  Ensure that materials and publications that contain general information disseminated to City employees include information on the requirements of reasonable accommodation under the ADA.  IHCD recommends that the City of Salem employees familiarize themselves with the excellent free national resources from the Job Accommodation Network VII – Effective Communication through Auxiliary Aids and Services Title II entities are required to provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services to ensure “effective communication” with people with disabilities. This obligation applies to all members of the public with disabilities including job applicants, program participants and people who are seeking information about the City’s programs, services or activities. Specifically, Title II requires that: A public entity shall take appropriate steps to ensure that communications with applicants, participants, members of the public, and companions with disabilities are as effective as communications with others. (28 CFR Part 35.160 Auxiliary aids and services are devices or services that enable effective communication for people who have vision, hearing, or speech disabilities (communication disabilities), use different ways to communicate. The type of auxiliary aid or service necessary to ensure effective communication will vary in accordance with the length and complexity of the communication involved a query at a service counter in the City Offices, a meeting, a job description). The obligation to communicate effectively with people who have disabilities applies to the presentation and exchange of information in all forms including sound, print, graphics and voice. Furthermore, this requirement may include but is not limited to providing sign language interpreters, telephone handset amplifiers, Telecommunication Devices for Deaf persons (TDD’s), note takers, written materials for persons who are deaf or hard of hearing or transcripts, braille, digital or audio information for persons who are blind or have difficulty seeing. ---PAGE BREAK--- DRAFT REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem, MA PART B – Evaluation of Non-discriminatory Policies & Practices in Programs, Services & Activities Oct. 2019 www.IHCDesign.org • 200 Portland Street, Boston MA USA • [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty page 9 The decision about what auxiliary aid is appropriate should evolve from a consultation between the ADA Title II entity (City of Salem) and individuals with disabilities wherever possible to ensure effective communication. In many cases, more than one type of auxiliary aid or service may make effective communication possible. While consultation is always strongly encouraged to achieve effective communication, the City of Salem and all public entities are required to give primary consideration to the requests of individuals with disabilities. The Effective Communication obligation does not require the City to take any action that would result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of its services, programs or activities or that would impose an undue financial and administrative burden. Findings There is no evidence that the City has failed to provide Effective Communication when requested. Based on a City of Salem Open Space and Recreation Plan Update document from 2015, the City has a published procedure for individuals who wish to request something in an alternative format. The City also has a TTY in some offices, and the City has purchased assistive listening devices that are available for public meetings. The City also has some materials available in alternative formats including large print, audio tape and braille. Department questionnaire responses indicate that Salem has accessible voting equipment, and that Salem’s emergency 911 service has enhanced capabilities for individuals with visual or hearing disabilities including TTY functionality. The Fire Department indicates that it has extensive training related to effective communication, and the Library Department reports having a “Special Needs Communication Guide designed for libraries,” magnifiers and other text enlargement capabilities. The Library Department also indicates that it does not have captioning or sign language interpreters. From the department responses, it seems that clarifying procedures of providing effective communication could be beneficial including:  Developing procedures for requesting and providing sign language interpreters when needed at the library.  Providing captioning at the library as appropriate. Some of the additional questionnaire responses regarding how departments provide effective communication include:  “Don’t know”  “We do not at this time”  “No process in place” ---PAGE BREAK--- DRAFT REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem, MA PART B – Evaluation of Non-discriminatory Policies & Practices in Programs, Services & Activities Oct. 2019 www.IHCDesign.org • 200 Portland Street, Boston MA USA • [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty page 10  “Speak loudly and follow up”  “We don't ensure that communication is equally effective”  “[We] would like guidance on public meetings, etc. and how we might make sure we are providing accommodation” It is not clear if face-to-face communication with individuals with disabilities is equally effective as communication with people without disabilities in all City Departments, or if information available in print format is currently consistently available in accessible electronic or hard-copy formats such as large-font, or on the website. Recommendations The City should consider developing and publicizing clear processes for members of the public and employees to request auxiliary aids and services:  Distribute the Effective Communication Notice to all department heads; published in a local newspaper of general circulation serving the City; in all materials regarding the City’s programs, services or activities and on the City’s website home page. Copies should also be posted in prominent locations in the City’s public buildings.  Staff should clearly understand the responsibility to provide auxiliary aids and services where necessary to afford qualified individuals with disabilities, including applicants, participants, companions, and members of the public, an equal opportunity to participate in, and enjoy the benefits of, a service, program, or activity of a public entity. (28 CFR Part 35.153 Staff should also clearly understand the process for requesting them when needed.  Staff needs to understand the scheduling time necessary in requesting a sign language interpreter or a Computer-Assisted Real Time Interpreter (CART) through the Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Interpreters must be qualified.  Members of the public also need to have a clear understanding of the process for requesting auxiliary aids and services and the time period in which a request must be made if it involves ASL interpreters, CART, or special equipment such as assistive listening devices that may need to be rented. This information should be included in the general information for the public as well as on the City’s website.  Ideally, the City should develop a system for training staff to meet these responsibilities especially knowing the processes for securing braille, making large print, other types of accessible formats, understanding how to request interpreters or CART and the length of time needed prior to an event. It is also important that staff know how to use and maintain the assistive listening systems and other special devices to assist people with disabilities to enjoy effective communication. ---PAGE BREAK--- DRAFT REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem, MA PART B – Evaluation of Non-discriminatory Policies & Practices in Programs, Services & Activities Oct. 2019 www.IHCDesign.org • 200 Portland Street, Boston MA USA • [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty page 11  IHCD, through its New England ADA Center, can provide a training for the City of Salem on Effective Communication that would be appropriate for department heads and public-facing City staff in order to build confidence about rights and responsibilities and building capacity within the City to comply with this important element of the ADA. Sample of Effective Communication request: “The City of Salem is committed to the full participation of people with disabilities. Any person with a disability who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in the City ’s programs, services, activities and committee meetings, should contact the office of the ADA Coordinator (Name, Address, Phone number and Email) as soon as possible but no later than 48 hours* before the scheduled event.” (*if the City needs 2 or 3 weeks or longer to ensure an interpreter, then it must be clearly stated).  Ensure that information and resources at each department interacting with the public are available in accessible format. That could be done by having a large print sign at each department and on each department’s portion of the website stating: “All of our materials are available, upon request, in accessible formats such as audio, large print or braille.”  Ensure that staff interacting with the public is fully trained on how to respond to TTY and relay calls for telephone communications with people who are deaf, have difficulty hearing or have speech disabilities. Even though there is a fundamentally changed pattern among people who are deaf or hard-of- hearing in relation to communication technology, TTY remains a compliance requirement. Because of these advances in communication technology, some people who are deaf and people with speech disabilities no longer have TTYs in their homes and rely instead on instant messaging, text messaging, email, or the video communication features of computers.  Ensure that the City’s website and other web-based services are accessible to people with disabilities. It is the Department of Justice position that when services are provided on a website, those services too must be made accessible. (see www.ada.gov/mclennan_pca/mclennan_sa.html Section K on Web Based Services and Programs)  To address these Information and Communication Technology (ICT) issues Salem should commit to fixes and maintenance of the website accessibility. All staff should undergo training on accessibility best practices for posting web content and creating accessible documents.

IHCD recommends providing web forms or accessible fillable PDF’s for all the forms available on the City’s website.  Ensure that all the videos provided on the City’s website are captioned.  Additionally, under Title II of the ADA, emergency programs, services and activities must be accessible to people with disabilities. Ensure that the City takes the necessary steps to effectively communicate with people with disabilities and make the emergency plan available on the City’s website and update the emergency procedure as often as is necessary. Note: Part of the scope of work includes a review of the City’s website; IHCD has prepared a complete Website Accessibility and Usability Review that will provide information about website accessibility issues and recommendations for corrective measures. Also, it is the Department of Justice position that police stations provide sign language interpreters in a timely manner when requested.  Non-scheduled Interpreter Requests: A “non-scheduled interpreter request” means a request for an interpreter made by an inmate, visitor, companion, or other member of the public, who is deaf or hard of hearing with less than two hours advanced notice. For non-scheduled interpreter requests, the interpreter shall be provided no more than two hours from the time of the request for an interpreter if the service is provided through a contract interpreting service or a staff interpreter who is located off-site or 30 minutes from the request for an interpreter if the service is provided through a Video Remote Interpreting service.  Scheduled Interpreter Requests: A “scheduled interpreter request” is a request for an interpreter made two or more hours before the services of the interpreter are required. For scheduled interpreter requests, the Police Department will make a qualified interpreter available at the time of the scheduled appointment. If an interpreter fails to arrive for the scheduled appointment, upon notice that the interpreter failed to arrive, the Police Department will immediately use reasonable efforts to call an interpreter service for another qualified interpreter or provide a Video Remote Interpreting service. ---PAGE BREAK--- DRAFT REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem, MA PART B – Evaluation of Non-discriminatory Policies & Practices in Programs, Services & Activities Oct. 2019 www.IHCDesign.org • 200 Portland Street, Boston MA USA • [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty page 13 VIII – Emergency Preparedness, Evacuation Plans, and Emergency Shelters While a review of the City of Salem’s emergency preparedness, evacuation plans and emergency shelters was not part of this RFP, as evidenced by recent U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Project Civic Access settlement agreements, DOJ’s views on emergency preparedness, shelters and evacuation plans are critical components of a City ’s responsibilities related to accessibility Recommendations  Visibly post up-to-date floor plans for all buildings;  Post information about evacuating people unable to use stairs;  Develop evacuation plans for each facility;  As plans are developed or revised, adopt policies to ensure that community evacuation plans enable people with disabilities, including those who have mobility, vision, hearing, or cognitive disabilities, mental illness, or other functional limitations, to safely self-evacuate or to be evacuated by others. Until all emergency shelters are accessible with parking, exterior routes, entrances, interior routes to the shelter area, and accessible toilet rooms serving the shelter area, the City should identify and widely publicize to the public, including persons with disabilities and the organizations that serve them, the locations of the most accessible emergency shelters.

This Self-Evaluation report also includes a summary of architectural barriers identified during accessibility surveys performed by IHCD teams between May – July 2019. Together these findings are designed to help move the City towards full compliance with its obligations under the Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and/or the 521 CMR Massachusetts Architectural Access Board regulations. For clarity, this ADA Self-Evaluation report is organized as follows:  Legal Overview;  Summary of the Evaluation of Policies in Programs, Services, and Activities;  Summary of the Evaluation of Facilities. ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem PART C – Self-Evaluation Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 2 Legal Overview The City of Salem is obligated by both Federal laws and State codes concerning the rights of people with disabilities in the daily provision of programs, services, and activities. At the end of this report, there is a comprehensive list of relevant laws. Federal Obligation: American with Disabilities Act (ADA) Based on the 1964 Civil Rights Act and expanding upon the obligations of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act, the 1990 ADA prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities. The ADA provides civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those afforded to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. The cornerstone of Title II of the ADA, which applies to state and local governments, is clear: no qualified person with a disability may be excluded from participating in, or denied the benefits of, the programs, services, and activities provided by state and local governments because of a disability. The 2008 Amendments to the ADA (ADAAA), signed into law on September 25, 2008, describes in more detail the range of conditions covered by the civil rights protections of the ADA. The amendments expand the definition of “disability” to include impairments that substantially limit a major life activity and states that when determining whether someone qualifies as having a disability, one cannot take into account assistive devices, auxiliary aids, accommodations, medical therapies and supplies. The amendments also address episodic disabilities that may go into remission but still can significantly limit a major life activity when active, such as epilepsy and post-traumatic stress disorder. The ADA defines a disability as1:  A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities (i.e. working, talking, hearing, seeing, caring for one's self);  Having a record of a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities;  Being regarded by others as having an impairment such as individuals with severe facial scarring. 1 To learn more about qualified individuals with disabilities or to read the full text of the ADA, please visit http://www.ada.gov ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem PART C – Self-Evaluation Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 3 It is important to stress that the primary obligation to public entities such as the City of Salem, under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, is to ensure that, when viewed in their entirety, the programs, services, and activities offered are equally available to people with disabilities. The City is required to follow the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design in new construction and alterations. The 2010 ADA Standards must also be used for corrective actions if existing conditions don’t comply with the original ADA Accessibility Guidelines. Municipalities also must relocate programs or otherwise provide access to programs located in inaccessible older facilities (e.g. facilities built before the ADA went into effect January 26, 1992). Ensuring program access may require capital investment when there is no alternative solution and should be a priority for corrective action. Note that the websites of Title II entities are also considered “programs” and should be accessible to the standards of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 AA. A review of the City of Salem’s website will be provided as part of the scope of work of this contract. The City must communicate effectively with people who have hearing, vision, or speech disabilities. Fall River is also required to make reasonable modifications to policies, practices, and procedures where necessary to ensure the equal participation of people with disabilities. Whatever is written or spoken must be as clear and understandable to people with hearing, vision, or speech disabilities as it is for people who do not have disabilities. In addition, the ADA requires the provision of “auxiliary aid and service” to meet their responsibility for effective communication. Auxiliary aid and service refer to readers, notetakers, sign language interpreters, assistive listening systems, open and closed captioning, text telephones (TTYs), videophones, information provided in large print, braille, audible, or electronic formats, and other tools for people who have communication disabilities. Following the passage of the ADA, the Department of Justice issued the 1991 ADA Standards for Accessible Design to address physical access to facilities and transportation. These standards were based almost exclusively on the US Access Board’s guidelines (ADA Accessibility Guidelines – ADAAG). In 1994, slight technical amendments were made and in 2004, the US Access Board issued new guidelines that were adopted by the US Department of Transportation and other federal agencies. But only in 2010 did the Department of Justice issue a revised and updated ADA Standard called the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (2010 ADA Standards) that would apply to all Title II and Title III entities. These standards revised requirements for policies such as ticketing and service animals, and for physical elements such as assembly seating, established construction tolerances for certain elements and formalized long- standing guidelines for play areas, golf courses, recreational boating facilities, swimming pools, and other recreational facilities. ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem PART C – Self-Evaluation Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 4 Facilities that meet or exceed the 1991 ADA Standards are not required to make changes to the new 2010 Standards except in the case of renovation. For elements that are non-compliant, the corrective measures must align with the 2010 ADA Standards. It is not expected that the buildings will meet or be brought up to all of the 2010 ADA Standards absent significant or total renovation. State and local governments must ensure that individuals with disabilities are not excluded from services, programs, and activities because buildings are inaccessible. This means Title II entities do not need to remove physical barriers, such as stairs, in all existing buildings, as long as they make their programs accessible to individuals who are unable to use an inaccessible existing facility. Alterations to historic properties under the ADA Alterations to historic properties must comply with the specific provisions governing historic properties in the 2010 ADA Standards, to the maximum extent feasible. Under those provisions, alterations should be done in full compliance with the alterations standards for other types of buildings. However, if following the usual standards would threaten or destroy the historic significance of a feature of the building, alternative solutions may be used. The decision to use alternative solutions for that feature must be made in consultation with the appropriate historic advisory board as designated in the 2010 ADA Standards (for Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Historical Commission), and interested persons should be invited to participate in the decision- making process. Note that any corrective actions needed to ensure program accessibility would also have to comply with the requirements of the 2010 ADA Standards for historic facilities. State Obligation: Massachusetts Constitutional Amendment - Article 114 The Massachusetts Constitution states: “No otherwise qualified handicapped individual shall, solely by reason of his handicap, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity within the Commonwealth.” Article 114 is written broadly. It prohibits discrimination based on disability on any level within the state, not just for recipients of state or federal funds. For example, City meetings must be held in an accessible location with sign language interpreters provided if needed, and the City cannot refuse to do business with an individual based on the person’s disability. Massachusetts Architectural Access Board The Architectural Access Board (AAB) is a regulatory agency whose mandate is to develop and enforce regulations designed to make public buildings accessible to, functional for and safe for ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem PART C – Self-Evaluation Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 5 use by persons with disabilities. See the Rules and Regulations of the Architectural Access Board 521 CMR. In addition to writing regulations, the Board decides on variance requests, provides training on its regulations, issues advisory opinions and makes decisions on complaints. Local building inspectors are responsible for enforcing the regulations which are a specialized section of the Massachusetts Building Code. See 780 CMR. The construction, reconstruction, remodeling, alteration, or change of use of a building or facility that is open to the public triggers the authority of the Architectural Access Board. New construction must fully comply. For renovation, remodeling, or alteration: • The work being done must comply with the regulations. • If the work done in any 36-month period is greater than $100,000, the “work being performed” is required to comply. In addition, an accessible entrance and an accessible toilet room, telephone and drinking fountain (if toilets, telephones and drinking fountains are provided) shall also be provided. • If the work done in a 36-month period is more than 30% of the “full and fair cash value” of the building2, the entire building must come into compliance. Enforcement: Anyone can file a complaint with the Architectural Access Board. The Board has the authority to issue variances and/or impose fines of up to $1000 per violation per day of noncompliance with its order. 2 This is usually the assessed value established by the city or town. See 521 C.M.R. § 5.38 for details about establishing value where no assessment exists. ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem PART C – Self-Evaluation Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 6 Summary of the Evaluation of Policies in Programs, Services and Activities Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities by public entities. Activities covered include all services, programs and activities offered by the public entity, all aspects of employment, services carried out by contractors, all activities of the local legislative and judicial branches and public transportation. A thorough understanding of the requirements of Title II of the ADA is an essential responsibility of public entities. Please note that a complete summary of the City’s policies, practices and procedures is included in Part B – Evaluation of Non – Discriminatory Policies and Practices in Programs, Services and Activities. The ADA administrative requirements help to ensure that the needs of people with disabilities are addressed in all services, programs and activities that the City operates. A Title II entity is required to: 1. Designate a Responsible Employee (ADA Title II - 28 CFR Part 35.107 to coordinate compliance with the ADA. The purpose of having a responsible employee – ADA Coordinator - is to ensure that when the public deals with a state or local government agency, the public is able to identify a person who is knowledgeable with the requirements of the ADA. The City of Salem has met its obligation to designate a responsible employee by designating Lisa Cammarata as the City’s ADA Coordinator. 2. Adopt and distribute a public Notice (ADA Title II - 28 CFR Part 35.106) of the provisions of the ADA to members of the public who may participate in the City’s programs, services and activities. The effective notice should state the City’s obligations under the ADA and include the complete contact information of the ADA Coordinator. The City has an ADA Notice on its website (located in the City of Salem Open Space & Recreation Plan Update 2015 Appendix However, from the responses submitted by staff it seems that the City of Salem does not have a uniform policy regarding the posting of ADA Non-Discrimination Notices for members of the public. Multiple City departments reported that Notices were not posted. ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem PART C – Self-Evaluation Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 7 The City should take steps to clarify the posting of the Notice of Non-Discrimination policy to comply with the ADA Title II that states that public entities shall take initial steps to notify program/service participants, beneficiaries and employees of its obligations. IHCD recommends distributing the Notice to all department heads, publishing the Notice in all the materials distributed by the City, posting the Notice prominently on the City’s website home page and posting copies in public locations in the City’s buildings. 3. Develop and distribute Grievance Procedures (ADA Title II - 28 CFR Part 35.107 for prompt resolution of any complaint regarding disability discrimination. The City has a Grievance Procedure on its website, and some departments have the Grievance Procedure on file. However, it is not clear if staff in all departments are aware of their ADA obligation and the process for meeting the requirement for grievance procedures. IHCD recommends the City take steps to clarify its Grievance Procedure by distributing to all department heads, and posting copies of it in noticeable locations in each of the City’s public buildings. Furthermore, ensure the City’s employees are aware of the Grievance Procedure process and can provide information to members of the public about the process when appropriate. Ensure the Grievance Procedure form is in an accessible format. 4. Modify its Policies, Practices and Procedures (ADA Title II – 28 CFR Part 35.130(b)(7)) when necessary to avoid discrimination. Of the twenty four (24) departments that responded to the IHCD survey, only the Traffic & Parking Department reported having written policies and/or procedures regarding the process of requesting a reasonable modification. Also, the Human Resources and Police Departments reported that they did have difficulty providing an accommodation or modification when requested. IHCD recommends the City take additional steps to ensure that City’s employees can provide information to members of the public about the process of requesting reasonable modification of policies when appropriate. The City should provide a form for requesting reasonable modifications of policies on the City’s website, and state the commitment to provide copies in accessible formats upon request. 5. Provide Reasonable Accommodation (ADA Title II – 28 CFR Part 35.140(a)) to qualified employees with disabilities. This requirement may include modifying work schedules, job restructuring, and making facilities used by employees readily accessible to an employee with ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem PART C – Self-Evaluation Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 8 a disability, or moving the employee, if possible without compromising job responsibilities, to an accessible location. There is no evidence that the City has failed to provide reasonable accommodation to its employees. IHCD recommends that the City of Salem becomes familiar with the excellent free national resources from the Job Accommodation Network 6. Provide Auxiliary aids and services (ADA Title II – 28 CFR Part 35.160) to ensure effective communication with people with disabilities. This provision requires ADA Title II entities to take steps to ensure that communication with members of the public and employees with disabilities is as effective as communication with others. This requirement may include but is not limited to providing sign language interpreters, providing Computer-Assisted-Real-time- Translation (CART), written materials for persons who are deaf or have difficulty hearing, braille or large print information or information in digital format for people who are blind or have difficulty seeing. There is no evidence that the City has failed to provide Effective Communication when required. The City has also taken some positive steps towards providing effective communication. For example, the City has a published procedure for individuals who wish to request something in an alternative format. The City also has purchased assistive listening devices that are available for public meetings, the City has some materials available in alternative formats including large print, audio tape and braille, and Salem’s emergency 911 service has enhanced capabilities for individuals with visual or hearing functional limitations. However, from the department responses, it seems that clarifying procedures of providing Effective Communication could be beneficial including developing procedures for requesting and providing sign language interpreters when needed at the library. Finally, ensure that the City’s website and other web-based services are accessible to people with disabilities. It is the Department of Justice’s positon that when services are provided on a website, those services too must be made accessible. The website should be considered a “program” of the City. (See web accessibility report). ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem PART C – Self-Evaluation Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 9 Summary of the Evaluation of Facilities The analysis of existing conditions that encompasses the body of this evaluation is based on observations and documentation completed by IHCD team during site visits.

A public entity may not deny the benefits of its programs, services and activities to individuals with disabilities because its facilities are inaccessible. This means that each program, service and activity of the City, when viewed in its entirety, must be readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.” This requirement is known as Program Accessibility [28 CFR Part 35.150]. The program accessibility requirement does not necessarily require the City to make each existing facility accessible or to take any action that would threaten or destroy the historic significance of a historic property. Or require a public entity to take any action that it can demonstrate would result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of the program or in an undue financial and administrative burden. The City may comply with the requirements through such means as redesign or acquisition of equipment, reassignment of services to accessible buildings, delivery of services at alternate accessible sites, alteration of existing facilities and construction of new facilities, or any other methods that result in making the City’s services, programs or activities readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. A public entity is not required to make structural changes in existing facilities where other methods are effective in achieving compliance with this section. In choosing among available methods for meeting the requirements of this section, a public entity shall give priority to those methods that offer services, programs, and activities to qualified individuals with disabilities in the most integrated setting appropriate. IHCD recommends the following improvements at the City Public Buildings: City Hall  Repair exterior routes.  Renovate the single-user toilet room.  Provide accessible work surfaces (with knee and toe clearance).  Provide accessible counters. ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem PART A – Self-Evaluation Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 11  Provide ADA-compliant walk-off mats.

Outdoor Facilities Overview The program accessibility obligation does not typically require that every outdoor area be made accessible. As noted before, “when viewed in its entirety” applies to programs for which there are multiple locations for comparable programs. Usually, a public entity determines which method it will use for meeting its program accessibility obligations. When structural changes are made to existing facilities, the changes must comply with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. When choosing to purchase equipment or to make structural changes, the public entity should factor financial resources required to maintain program accessibility. Over time, the City will need to reassess its compliance with program accessibility, and it may become necessary to acquire new accessible equipment or make structural modifications To determine which outdoor areas must be made accessible, the City should consider:  How to provide the program in the most integrated setting appropriate;  Locations where the activities are offered;  Which outdoor areas are accessible and to what extent;  Level of dispersion of the accessible outdoor areas (playgrounds, baseball fields, soccer fields, beaches, etc.,) and convenience to reach them (accessible by car or pedestrian routes). It is important to note that those elements in existing facilities that are subject to supplemental requirements of the 2010 ADA Standards (e.g. elements for which there are neither technical nor scoping specifications in the 1991 Standards) such as Recreational boating facilities; Exercise machines and equipment; Fishing piers and platforms; Play areas; Swimming pools, wading pools, and spas; and Miscellaneous - Team or player seating and Accessible route in court sports facilities, need to be brought into compliance.3 IHCD recommends the following improvements at the City Park / Outdoor Areas: Derby Square  Renovate exterior routes (including cross slopes, changes in level, curb ramp landing, etc.). 3 As described in 28 CFR 35.150(b)(2)(i) Title II ADA Regulations ---PAGE BREAK--- REPORT by Institute for Human Centered Design: City of Salem PART A – Self-Evaluation Summary December 2019 www.HumanCenteredDesign.org - 200 Portland Street, Boston MA 02114 - [PHONE REDACTED] v/tty Page 17  Provide handrails for the ramp on the south side of the square.

The Police Station is a two story building connected by an elevator and a set of stairs. The public accessible entrance/exit is located on the north side of the building. The entrance/exit used to transport detainees is located on the east side of the Police Headquarters. Visitors parking is located on the north side of the building, near the accessible entrance – there are two accessible spaces. Additional parking is located on the west and south side of the building. On the first floor the Station houses a reception area, a licensing office, two interview rooms and a detention area that includes male, female and juvenile cellblocks (eight cells on each block). Also in this area, there is a holding cell (for overflow), a crime lab and a photo lab. Single-user men’s and women’s toilet rooms are also located on the first floor. The second floor houses an auditorium, a conference room and the office of the Chief of Police. Note: IHCD team only surveyed the areas used by the public. The day of the survey, the elevator was not in operable working condition. IHCD team was told that it has been that way for quite some time. Key Accessibility Issues Parking Accessibility issues include an access aisle that is narrower than the minimum width allowed, lack of the designation “van accessible” at the sign located at the van accessible space and identification signs mounted lower than the minimum height allowed. Holding Cells The major accessibility issue is the lack of accessible holding cells at each holding block. This includes lack of the minimum required turning space and lack of compliant toilet/lavatory combo unit for at least one of each of the holding cells (male, female and juvenile). Note: IHCD team was not shown shower facilities and does not know if showers are provided in this area. Auditorium Accessibility issue includes lack of wheelchair accessible seating. Also, the auditorium does not appear to have an assistive listening system. Note: Where a sound system, microphone and/or speaker are integral to the use of the space an assistive listening system must be provided. Toilet Rooms Accessibility issues include flush control not located on the open/transfer side of the toilet (women’s toilet room), side and rear grab bars not mounted at the same height (men’s toilet room) and dispensers mounted higher than the maximum height allowed in both toilet rooms. Other accessibility issues in both toilet rooms include lack of maneuvering clearance at doors (on the push side because the doors are recessed more than the maximum allowed and on the pull side because of the location of the lavatory) and lack of audible and visible fire alarms. Signage Accessibility issues throughout the building include lack of tactile designation signs, and lack of egress signs at the emergency exits. Also, designation signs are not located on the latch side of the door. Additional Accessibility Issues • Excessive opening force at the main entrance. • Lack of securely attached walk-off mat (main entrance). • AED dispenser protrudes into the circulation path (near detention area). ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem Police Headquarters Prepared by the Institute for Human Centered Design • www.IHCDesign.org Page 2 Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates • Renovation to auditorium (accessible wheelchair seating and ALS): $10,593 • Renovation to toilet rooms: $7,161 • Compliant signage (designation and egress signs): $2,262 • Miscellaneous corrective actions (parking, ADA compliant walk-off mat, protruding object, etc.): $1278 Total: $21,294* *Note: • Cost to repair the elevator is not provided. • Cost for providing accessible holding cells (male, female and juvenile) is not provided. (See attached document from the Department of Justice regarding requirements for accessible holding cells). Best Practice and Inclusive Design Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users. • Recommend providing an automatic door opener at the main entrance. Currently the door requires an excessive opening force to operate. • Recommend providing a detectable warning at the curb ramp. • Recommend adding contrasting strips at the edge of each step (auditorium and stairway). ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID Salem Police Headquarters City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

It was built in 1855 as a home for a local sea captain who donated the structure to Salem in 1887. The building was first opened as a library in July of 1889. Salem Public Library is part of the North of Boston Library Exchange (NOBLE), which includes twenty-six public and academic libraries. The main entrance to the Library is on Essex Street on the south side of the building and is accessed by a set of stairs to the first floor. The accessible entrance is on the west side of the building on the ground floor and is connected to an exterior ramp. An accessible street parking space is located near the main entrance on Essex Street. Note: See the Salem study on sidewalks. The reports references depressions, cracking, patching, lifting and tree roots on the sidewalk along Essex Street (Sidewalk Condition Summary With Detailed Description.pdf 5.28.2019). The ground floor, first floor, second floor and mezzanine are open to the public. The building also has a third floor which is for staff use only and therefore was not surveyed. An elevator provides vertical access to the ground, first, second and third floors, and a lift provides access from the first floor to the mezzanine. There is also a staircase from the first floor to the mezzanine and a main staircase that connects the other floors. An interior ramp on the second floor provides an accessible route to a raised portion of the second floor. Note: On the day of the survey the mezzanine area was under construction. As a result, while IHCD team verified that a lift from the first floor provided vertical access to the mezzanine, the mezzanine area was not surveyed. The ground floor includes the preschool and children’s library and a circulation desk. The first floor has a circulation desk, books, periodicals and computers for public use. The second floor has reference computers including one reference computer on an elevated desk intended for scooter users, text-magnification equipment, study rooms, the reference library and a rare books area. In addition, two accessible single-user toilet rooms are located on both the ground and first floors, and drinking fountains are located on the ground, first and second floors. Key Accessibility Issues Ramps Accessibility issues include lack of handrails on both sides of the exterior ramp to the accessible entrance on the ground floor and lack of continuous handrails on one side of the interior ramp on the second floor. Note: IHCD team was told that the exterior ramp is considered historic. The Library building is in the Historic District of Salem. Signage Accessibility issues include lack of tactile and directional signs at egress doors, lack of an illuminated International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) sign at the accessible exit on the ground floor, and lack of signs with the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) at two accessible single-user toilet rooms and at the exterior of power door at the accessible entrance on the ground floor. Toilet Rooms Accessibility issues include the flush control not being located on the open / transfer side in the red single-user toilet room on the ground floor and in the two single-user toilet rooms on the first floor. There is a lack of insulated pipes at the lavatories, and the toilet paper dispenser is located above the side grab bar in all four of the single-user toilet rooms. The mirror is mounted higher than the maximum height allowed and the side grab bar is mounted lower than the minimum height allowed in one of the toilet rooms on the first floor. Also, there is a lack of the required clear floor space at the toilet in the other toilet room on the first floor due to the location of a trash receptacle and a hand dryer mounted above the rear grab bar. ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem Public Library Prepared by the Institute for Human Centered Design • www.IHCDesign.org Page 2 Drinking Fountains Accessibility issues include lack of the required minimum knee and toe clearance at the high and low drinking fountains on the ground, first and second floors. Additional Accessibility Issues • Protruding objects in the circulation path. • Threshold higher than the maximum height allowed (ground floor accessible entrance). • Lack of securely attached walk-off mats (main entrance, ground floor accessible entrance). • Doors that require excessive opening force (three toilet rooms and at door to the lift). • Lack of the minimum required clear floor space in the lift. (The lift is usable but not compliant.) Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates • Renovate ramps: $7,220 • Provide compliant signage (designation, egress and International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA)): $2,324 • Renovate toilet rooms: $4,153 • Provide accessible drinking fountains: $9,486 • Miscellaneous corrective actions (threshold, protruding objects, etc.): $1,062 Total: $24,245 Best Practice and Inclusive Design Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users. o Recommend adding contrasting strips at the edge of each step at the exterior stairs leading to the main entrance and at interior stairs. ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID Salem Public Library City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

The school is three stories high, with a basement level as well as Floors 1 and 2. There is an elevator near the main entrance on the north side of the school that allows access to all three floors, and another elevator near the center of the school that has been taken out of commission. The cafeteria and accessible stage are located on the basement floor along with a few classrooms. The music room, gym, main office, health suite, and classrooms are located on the first floor, and the library and additional classrooms are located on the second floor. Amenities outside include two playgrounds, two basketball courts, and two parking lots. There are 16 emergency exits in the building, 11 of which are accessible including the main entrance. Parking is provided on the east and west side of the school. The east parking lot has approximately 7 spaces including four designated accessible spaces. The west lot has 58 spaces and there are currently no designated accessible spaces. This lot is also a parking lot for Salem residents during Salem snow emergencies. Key Accessibility Issues Parking The parking lot on the west side of the building lacks the required number of accessible spaces. Due to its size, it requires two car accessible spaces and one van accessible space. The parking lot on the east side of the school lacks an access aisle that is at least 96” wide at the van space as well as the designation “Van Accessible” on the parking sign for the northern most space. Emergency Exits In the school, all of the emergency exits lack tactile signage indicating them as exits. Additionally, the accessible exits lack illuminated exit signs that contain the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA), and inaccessible exits lack directional signage indicating the location of the nearest accessible exit. Interior Routes Throughout the school, classrooms have mats that are not properly secured. Additional issues include a lack at least 36” width in circulation paths in classrooms, where most of these issues are due to clutter or storage that do not allow for 36” wide paths. Stored objects are also placed in the maneuvering clearances for many classroom doors. There are also hanging objects, like lanterns, that act as protruding objects in multiple classrooms. Work Surfaces There are a number of classrooms that lack an accessible work surface with a minimum 27” knee clearance to the bottom of the table. There are also many classrooms that have adjustable tables that are not set to allow for the required knee clearance. Sinks Many classrooms throughout the school have sinks of an accessible design, but have been obstructed by clutter or storage. This prevents someone with mobility limitations from properly utilizing the sinks. Play Areas The north playground, near the basketball courts, lacks a route around the playground as well as an impact resistant route to each of the play components. This playground also lacks a compliant transfer station. The south playground is technically compliant, but an issue was brought to the IHCD survey team’s attention by a concerned parent. It seems as though the curbs that cut through the middle of the playground act as a serious tripping and safety hazard (see Fig. As it is in the middle of the playground, children might be running from one side to the other and could fall if they ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem Bates Elementary School Prepared by the Institute for Human Centered Design • www.IHCDesign.org Page 2 are not fully aware of the curbs. IHCD strongly recommends looking into a possible solution to this issue, such as redesigning the area or using more poured in place rubber. Note: The Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB) does not consider engineered wood fiber (EWF) to comply with its regulation requiring an accessible route to each play component and around the playground. Toilet Rooms The major accessibility concern in the toilet rooms is the side grab bars in many of the multi-user toilet rooms’ accessible compartments that connect to the ground and are not of a compliant length. In some instances, the toilet paper dispensers have been placed out of reach range because of the grab bars. Other issues include lack of knee and toe clearance at lavatories, exposed plumbing under lavatories, and toilet centerlines that are not at 18” from the side wall. Additional Accessibility Issues • Counter in the main office is more than 36” high and lacks a lowered section. • Books and other stored supplies located out of reach range. • Lack of an accessible picnic table located on an accessible route on the north side of the school. • A number of designation signs in the school are not located on the latch side of the doors. Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates • Exterior route renovations: $4,643 • Parking lot renovations: $4,764 • Provide compliant egress signage: $4,492 • Six work surfaces with knee clearance: $3,150 • Toilet room renovations: $22,867 • Provide accessible drinking fountains: $3,830 • Playground renovations: $25,275 • Miscellaneous corrective actions (including protruding objects, service counters, etc.): $4,759 Total: $73,780 Best Practice and Inclusive Design Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users. • Consider relocating benches near the south playground so that shoulder alignment is available by ensuring that the 30" by 48" clear floor space spans at least 12" from the back of the benches. • At Emergency Exit #10, consider providing an informational sign on the inside of the door indicating the conditions of the exit on the exterior (stairs leading away from building). • At Emergency Exit #12 and 13, recommend repairing surface so that transition from concrete safety area to asphalt is flush. • In Room 005, consider providing additional seating that is on an accessible route. • In Music Room 012, consider providing handrails and edge protection on risers. • In Music Room 012 at the staircase, consider providing directional signage indicating the location of the accessible route to the second floor practice area. • While there is a notice posted on some of the old elevator doors, IHCD recommends posting the notices on all three floors to ensure that the public is aware that the elevator is out of service. IHCD also recommends providing directional signage indicating the location of the working elevator on all three floors. • Recommend ensuring that in all stairwells, all sets of handrails have extensions that extend 12" beyond the last top riser and one tread depth past the bottom riser.

This school is also the location of an Early Childhood Education Center, which is based on the first floor. The school has two floors and is connected by stairs and an accessible elevator. Along with the Early Childhood Education Center, the first floor contains the gym, library, cafetorium, classrooms, and single- user and multi-user toilet rooms. The second floor also contains multi-user toilet rooms as well as additional classrooms. There are 23 emergency exits in the building, 21 of which are accessible including the main entrance. There are 98 parking spaces distributed between two parking lots for visitors and staff; five parking spaces are labeled as accessible. Note: Some areas of the school could not be fully surveyed by the IHCD survey team because staff was waxing the floors at the time of the survey. The issues captured in this report reflect common issues and can serve as a guide to areas that could not be surveyed by IHCD. Note: On the day of the survey IHCD team observed portable toilets in the west parking lot, but IHCD was told that their presence is not a regular occurrence. IHCD is not including a cost to provide an accessible portable toilet in that location. Key Accessibility Issues Parking The parking lot on the northeast side of the school lacks a compliant access aisle at the van accessible space as well as a sign with the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) and the designation “Van Accessible.” The lot on the west side of the school lacks a compliant access aisle and the designation “Van Accessible.” Additionally, there was a dumpster in one of the accessible spaces at the time of the survey. Exterior Access Routes There are multiple instances where there is a 3” change in level at or near the emergency exits, especially the ones that lead to the kindergarten playground. There is also a lack of a curb ramp on both sides of the crosswalk at Szetela Lane to Settlers Way, and the curb ramp at the main entrance, Exit #2 is not flush with the street. Emergency Exits All of the emergency exits lack tactile signage indicating them as exits. Additionally, the accessible exits lack illuminated exit signs that contain the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA), and inaccessible exits lack directional signage indicating the location of the nearest accessible exit. Interior Routes Throughout the school, classrooms have mats that are not properly secured. Some classroom doors lack maneuvering clearance and are recessed more than 8” deep. Work Surfaces There are a number of classrooms that lack an accessible work surface that is adjusted to the minimum 24” knee clearance to the bottom of the table. Sinks The sinks in the Music Room and the Health Office both lack knee clearance due to cabinetry underneath. Toilet Rooms Accessibility issues in the toilet rooms that were common include lack of insulated pipes under lavatories, non-compliant door hardware on accessible compartments, and mirrors located higher than 40” above the floor. Other issues include flush controls not on the open/transfer side of the toilet, grab bars not properly mounted, and urinals located too high. There were also single-user toilet rooms in the early education rooms, and some elements, such as the grab bar height, used ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem Bentley Academy Charter School Prepared by the Institute for Human Centered Design • www.IHCDesign.org Page 2 the child sized standards. However, other elements, such as the toilet centerline, did not comply with those standards. This means that the elements that do not comply must be changed in accordance with the existing child requirements. Note: The multi-user toilet rooms on the second floor near room 205 could not be surveyed due to cleaning staff waxing the floors in the area at the time of the survey. Designation Signage Designation signs throughout the building lack braille. Play Areas At the kindergarten playground, there is a lack of an accessible route to the play components. Note: The Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB) does not consider engineered wood fiber (EWF) to comply with its regulation requiring an accessible route to each play component and around the playground. Additional Accessibility Issues  Lack of drinking fountains for standing users.  Transition at curb ramp near main entrance is not flush with the ground. Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates  Renovate exterior routes: $12,006  Parking lot renovations: $1,200  Provide compliant egress door signage: $9,751  Provide interior designation signage with braille: $11,310  Drinking fountains for standing users: $18,690  Toilet room renovations: $18,303  Playground renovations: $17,108  Miscellaneous corrective actions (including automatic door openers, work surfaces, etc.): $8,695 Total: $97,063 Best Practice and Inclusive Design Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users.  Near the main entrance, recommend connecting the crosswalk to an accessible route.  Near the west parking lot, recommend rotating the clothing donation bin 90 degrees counterclockwise so there is clear floor space and a better reach range at the bin.  If locker rooms are to be used by students, ensure the rooms are clear of clutter and storage. Also recommend ensuring that at least but not less than 1, of lockers in each locker room are accessible.  At the Early Childhood Staff Room, recommend providing clear informational signage about the use of this room.  In the health office, consider providing an adjustable height bed.  In the health office, recommend providing a seated scale.  At Exit recommend providing handrails.  At doors leading to the courtyard, recommend providing informational signage that says "Exit to Courtyard" so people are aware that these exits do not lead away from the building.  IHCD strongly recommends exploring the possibility of an alternative surface to engineered wood fiber (EWF). Overtime, EWF requires continuous maintenance to ensure the surface is maintained in operable working condition (stable, firm and slip-resistant). In addition, when used in combination with other surfaces required for accessible routes to play components in Massachusetts, it will present a challenge to prevent level changes at the transition points between EWF and other surfaces, and to keep the accessible routes clear of EWF. ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID Bentley Academy Charter School City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

Classrooms are divided into grade groups and each classroom typically services children in that grade group. Grade groups are P1- kindergarten, P2- first and second grade, E1- third grade, and E2- fourth and fifth grade. There are, however, FLEX classrooms that serve multiple grade groups of children. The school also hosts an after school YMCA program. The school building is two stories high and has two staircases and one elevator. Major amenities include a main office, gym, cafetorium which contains a stage, men's and women's toilet rooms, girls' and boys' toilet rooms, a greenhouse, and classrooms. There are 50 parking spaces for visitors and staff in a parking lot on the southeast side of the building; three parking spaces are labeled as accessible. There are 11 exits from the building, including the main entrance, and all of them are accessible. Key Accessibility Issues Signs Accessibility issues include lack of tactile signs and illuminated signs with the International Symbol of Accessibly (ISA) at egress doors, lack of a designation sign with the words “Van Accessible” at a van accessible parking space, lack of signage with raised characters, braille and the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) at the all gender toilet room, and lack of designation signs with raised characters and braille at permanent rooms. Toilet Rooms Accessibility issues in the women’s and men’s single-user toilet rooms include lack of the required clear floor space at the toilets and lack of the required clear floor space at the lavatories due to the placement of desks and other stored items. There is also a lack of the required minimum maneuvering clearance at exit doors due to the location of lavatories. Accessibility issues at the boys’ and girls’ toilet rooms include lack of the required clear floor space at the toilets due to the location of trash cans or other stored items, doors at accessible compartments with malfunctioning self-closing hinges, rear grab bars in accessible compartments that are less than the minimum length required, and lavatories with pipes that are not wrapped. Note: The rear grab bars in the boys’ and girls’ toilet rooms are shorter than the minimum length required in order to prevent interference with the flush control. They are noncompliant but usable, so no cost for a longer compliant rear grab bar is included in the catalog in these instances. Sinks Many classrooms throughout the school have sinks that lack the required minimum knee and toe clearance for use by children and have plumbing that is not wrapped. Dining and Work Surfaces The cafetorium lacks an accessible dining surface. Also, classrooms either lack the minimum required number of accessible work surfaces or have work surfaces that are adjustable but are not set to allow for accessible knee and toe clearance. Interior Access Routes Many classroom doors throughout the building lack the required minimum maneuvering clearance on the pull side due to placement of trash cans, chairs and similar items. Also, many accessible routes through classrooms are not the minimum 36” ---PAGE BREAK--- Carlton Innovation School Prepared by the Institute for Human Centered Design • www.IHCDesign.org Page 2 clear width required. Additionally, mats throughout the school are not securely attached and act as tripping hazards. Additional Accessibility Issues  Lack of an accessible route to and around the Community Garden.  The shower compartment in the Health Suite is not maintained in operable working condition (shower compartment is filled with stored items).  Lack of a drinking fountain for seated users in the gym. Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates  Renovate toilet rooms (including providing four power doors): $9,387  Provide compliant egress, directional and designation signage: $2,619  Renovate seven classroom sinks: $8,924  Provide a drinking fountain for a seated user: $3,021  Miscellaneous corrective actions (accessible route to and around Community Garden, accessible dining and work surfaces, etc.): $2,955 Total: $26,906 Best Practice and Inclusive Design Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users.  At Exit 8, recommend providing a doorbell or two-way communication system to allow visitors to contact the YMCA.  At curb ramps near the parking lot, recommend providing detectable warnings.  In the Health Suite, recommend providing a seated scale.  In the Health Suite, recommend providing an adjustable height bed.  Recommend providing a raised bed 34" max. high to the top with 27" min. high knee clearance in the Community Garden. ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID Carlton Innovation School City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

The building has four stories including a basement with the main accessible entrance on the east side at 98 Washington Street and a second accessible entrance on the west side by an adjacent parking lot. The building floors are connected by an elevator and two staircases including a central staircase. Level I has small, medium and large conference rooms, and men’s and women’s single-user toilet rooms. Level II has offices for the Planning, Engineering, Building and Traffic and Parking Departments, a small meeting room, and an Engineering Department conference room. Level III has offices for the Human Resources, Health and Treasurer’s Departments, a Health Department conference room, a second conference room, and a Wellness Room. Level III also has single-user men’s, women’s and all-gender toilet rooms. Key Accessibility Issues Parking Accessibility issues include lack of a van accessible parking space in the lot adjacent to the Annex and in the lot bordered by Sewell Street, and lack of an access aisle at two designated car- accessible parking spaces in the Sewell Street parking lot. Toilet Rooms Accessibility issues include paper towel dispensers mounted higher than the maximum height allowed in the first floor men’s and women’s toilet rooms. Signage Accessibility issues include lack of complaint designation, egress and directional signage at multiple locations throughout the building. Stairways Accessibility issues include lack of continuous handrails and handrail extensions at the central staircase in the lobby. Drinking Fountains Accessibility issues include lack of a drinking fountain for a standing user on Levels I and III. Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates • Provide compliant accessible parking spaces: $1,650 • Provide compliant paper towel dispensers in first floor toilet rooms: $1,060 • Provide complaint accessible signage: $3,654 • Provide complaint railings at lobby central staircase: $1,074 • Provide two drinking fountains for a standing user: $6,042 • Miscellaneous corrective actions (accessible service counter, cane detectable barriers): $1,110 Total: $14,590 Note: Costs for assistive listening systems are not included. If audible communication is integral to the use of spaces in the Annex, especially the meeting rooms, provide an assistive listening system. One system with a central person responsible for signing it out and keeping it charged should work. Best Practice and Inclusive Design Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users. • IHCD team noticed that a Level II conference room had a sliding door. This is an excellent design because it provides maneuvering clearance at the door and maximizes usable space because of the lack of a door swing. ---PAGE BREAK--- City Hall Annex Prepared by the Institute for Human Centered Design • www.IHCDesign.org Page 2 • Recommend turning off elevator button access to basement when the button is not being used by an employee. (The elevator provided access to the basement on the day of the survey, but IHCD team was told that there are no public programs in the basement.) Note: On level III of the Annex the single-user men’s and single- user women’s toilet rooms do not comply with the 2010 Standards for Accessible Design for a variety of reasons including insufficient clear space between the toilet and lavatory (604.3.1), and insufficient pull-side maneuvering clearance at the door (404.2.4.1). Compliant directional signs must be provided at the single-user men’s and women’s toilet rooms directing people to the accessible single-user all-gender toilet room in order to comply with the regulations of the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB), 521 CMR (30.1.1). ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID Salem City Hall Annex City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

The building has a main accessible entrance on the east side and exits around the building; there are 17 accessible exits including the main entrance/exit. Collins Middle School is a four story building connected by an elevator and interior stairs. A cafeteria, a fitness room, Parents Information Center and a few specialized rooms (such as the technology education room, mechanical drawing room and data technology lab) are located on the first floor. An auditorium, library, gym, computer lab, a multipurpose room, a music room, the nurse’s room, the Community Chamber and the Superintendent’s Office are located on the second floor. A Little Theater room is located on the fourth floor. Classrooms and boys’ and girls’ toilet rooms are located on all floors. Exterior amenities include the Bertram Field (south side of the school) and toilet room facilities (near Bertram Field). There are 174 parking spaces distributed among three parking lots for visitors and staff; nine are labeled as accessible. The pick- up/drop-off area for the school is located near the playground (on Jackson Street). Note: The interior of the toilet facilities was locked and was not surveyed. IHCD was told that the athletic field and the toilet room facilities will undergo substantial renovations. Key Accessibility Issues Exterior Access Routes The major accessibility issue is the lack of an accessible route to the men’s and women’s toilet room located near the athletic field. Other accessibility issues include lack of a compliant curb ramp (route towards the playground) and lack of maintenance at the stairs leading towards Broad Street. Parking Accessibility issues include lack of the required number of accessible parking spaces at the parking lots (east side, and south side of the school and near the playground) and lack of the required minimum width at the access aisles located at the accessible parking spaces (near the athletic field). The parking lots located on the north side of the school and the staff parking lot lack the required minimum width at the access aisles and the identification signs are mounted lower than the minimum height allowed. Another accessibility issue is the lack of an accessible route that connects to a drop-off area (near Exit Signage Accessibility issues include lack of tactile signs (raised and braille characters) at the emergency exits, lack of illuminated exit signs with the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA), and lack of directional signs at the inaccessible exits to the nearest accessible exit. Other accessibility issues include lack and/or misplaced braille at a few designation signs and signs not located on the latch side of the door. Toilet Rooms Accessibility issues include lack of an ambulatory compartment at the boys’ toilet room (1st floor near the cafeteria), lavatories mounted lower than the minimum height allowed (girls’ toilet room near the cafeteria), flush control not located on the open/transfer side of the toilet (girls’ toilet room near the cafeteria and boys’ toilet room near Room #302) and lack of the minimum centerline at the toilet (boys’ toilet room near Room #327). Other accessibility issues include lack of the minimum clear floor space at the accessible compartment at the girls’ toilet room (near Room #302) and the nurse’s toilet room due to furniture. Also, the clear floor space at the accessible transfer shower located in the nurse’s room is not maintained in operable working condition ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem Collins Middle School Prepared by the Institute for Human Centered Design • www.IHCDesign.org Page 2 due to the location of a cabinet. Additional accessibility issues include lack of insulated pipes at lavatories, mirrors mounted higher than the maximum allowed at the girls’ toilet room (near the cafeteria and near Room #321) and the boys’ toilet room (near Room #327) and doors with malfunctioning self-closing hinge (boys’ and girls’ toilet rooms on the 3rd floor). Note: The toilet rooms near the athletic field were locked the day of the visit and were not surveyed. Classrooms Accessibility issues include lack of accessible works surfaces (with knee clearance), lack of knee and toe clearance and/or lack of insulated pipes at the sinks and an emergency shower pull mounted higher than the maximum allowed. Other accessibility issues include lack of a retractable breadboard at the kitchen classroom (3rd floor), lack of the minimum clear width at the accessible routes or lack of the minimum required maneuvering clearance at the doors due to the location of furniture. Note: it is not clear if the classrooms that have speakers have an assistive listening system. Auditorium Accessibility issues include lack of the minimum required number of wheelchair accessible spaces and lack of the minimum number of designated aisle seats (retractable arm and identification sign). Note: it is not clear if the auditorium has an assistive listening system.

There is an accessible entrance on the northeast side of the building. An entrance on Jefferson Avenue connects to an interior set of stair and is therefore not accessible. The DPW is open from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. Monday through Wednesday, from 8:00 A.M. to 7:00 PM on Thursdays, and from 8:00 AM to 12:00 P.M. on Fridays. A parking lot by the accessible entrance is for employees only. No accessible parking is provided. Public parking is available along Jefferson Avenue. Amenities include a reception area and service counter. Programs and services include the availability of recycling and trash bins for home use, light bulb disposal, and the sale of trash overflow bags for a fee of $2.50 per bag. Key Accessibility Issues Parking Accessibility issue includes lack of a van accessible parking space with a marked access aisle in the employee parking lot. The parking space also lacks an identification sign with the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) and the designation “Van Accessible”. Curb Ramps Accessibility issues include lack of curb ramps at both ends of the crosswalk at the southwest end of the DPW building near the U-Haul facility. Entrance Accessibility issues include locking of the entrance on the northeast side of the building after 3:00 P.M. It is the only accessible entrance which means that an accessible entrance is not provided after 3:00 P.M. on days when the DPW is open after 3:00 P.M. Note: In order to provide program accessibility, the accessible entrance should remain open at all times that the DPW is open, or an intercom should be installed at the accessible entrance so visitors can notify staff when the accessible entrance needs to be opened. Note: the ramp to the accessible entrance is narrower than the minimum width required, but is usable. Additional Accessibility Issues  A change in level greater than the maximum allowed at the Jefferson Avenue entrance.  Lack of a railing on one side of the interior stairs near the Jefferson Avenue entrance.  Lack of an accessible service counter.  Lack of door hardware at the entry door to the service office that does not require tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist.  Lack of compliant egress and directional signage.  Protruding object in the circulation path.  Lack of an accessible work surface in the service office. Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates  Provide curb ramps at crosswalk: $5,600  Miscellaneous corrective actions (parking, signage, service counter, etc.): $3,972 Total: $9,572 Best Practice and Inclusive Design Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users.  Recommend adding contrasting strips at the edge of each step at the interior stairs near the Jefferson Avenue entrance. ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID Department of Public Works City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

This Fire Station houses the Prevention Office and the Code Enforcement Office. The Fire Station is a two story building connected by a set of stairs. The only entrance/exit to the building is located on the south side – the entrance is not accessible. Inaccessible single- user toilet rooms are located on both floors and parking is located in front of the building and the northwest side of the building – there are no accessible parking spaces. On-street parking is also available. Accessibility Issues Major accessibility issues • Lack of an accessible entrance/exit. • Lack of a vertical accessible route. • Lack of an interior accessible route. • Lack of accessible toilet rooms. Additional Accessibility Issues • Lack of accessible parking spaces. • Lack of compliant egress and designation signage. • Lack of an accessible counter. • Lack of compliant door hardware. • Lack of compliant handrails at the stairs. Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates *Total: $ 0 *Note: Cost for the renovation of this building is not included because providing an accessible entrance might be technically infeasible. Due to the unique programs in this building and the lack of accessibility, IHCD recommends that the City not use this building for its programs, services and activities. Suggest relocating the Prevention Office and the Code Enforcement Office. ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID Fire Prevention Office Station 6 City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

Along with typical high school classes, the school also has specialty classes for the culinary arts, technical skills like wood working, electrical work, and automotive repair, as well as an ROTC program. The school also has preschool and teen parent facilities available for students. The school building is four floors with a basement level and three numbered floors. Multiple staircases and one central elevator provide access to all four floors. Half of the basement level is restricted from student access and is where the kitchen, loading dock, and mechanical and boiler rooms are located. There is a separate one story building which houses the Automotive Technology Center. Major areas in the school include the cafeteria, which spans floors 1 - 3, the Instructional Media Center, which also spans floors 1 - 3, gymnasium and boys’ and girls’ locker rooms on the basement level, electrical shops on the basement level, main office and health suite on the first floor, auditorium on the first floor, wood shop on the first floor, art room on the first floor, and band area on the second floor. There are many toilet rooms on all floors, with accessible toilet facilities typically in a separate, single-user toilet room near the multi-user toilet rooms. There are 435 parking spaces for visitors and staff between multiple parking areas around the school; ten parking spaces are labeled as accessible. The main school building has a total of 48 emergency exits, including the main entrance, 42 of which are accessible. The Automotive Technology Center has eight bay doors in the garage section of the building, as well as six emergency exits, including the main entrance. All of them are close to fully accessible. Key Accessibility Issues Exterior Access Routes Many exterior facilities lack compliant accessible routes to them. These include the fields on the south side of the building, the basketball court in the same area, the outdoor classroom on the south side of the building and through the woods, the tennis courts on the west side of the building, the community garden, and multiple emergency exits. Parking The two parking lots on the north side of the school both lack four car accessible parking spaces and one van accessible parking space each. The parking lot near the tennis court lacks two car accessible parking spaces and one van accessible parking space. All of these require compliant access aisles and compliant signage with the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) and the designation “Van Accessible” at the van parking spaces. Additionally, the parking lot on the south side of the school has faded striping and requires at least one existing parking space to be made van accessible. This would require the designation “Van Accessible” on the accessible parking sign at the van accessible parking space. The accessible parking near the main entrance lacks two identification signs as well as the designation “Van Accessible” at the van accessible space. Emergency Exits Emergency exits lack tactile signage in the main building as well as in the Automotive Technology Center. Additionally, exits that are accessible lack illuminated exit signs with the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA), and inaccessible exits lack directional signage to the accessible exits. Three emergency exits in the Automotive Technology Center lack maneuvering clearance at the exit doors. Interior Routes Throughout both the high school and Automotive Technology Center buildings, there are multiple instances where the routes through classrooms and to major amenities are less than 36” wide. There are also many protruding objects such as the ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem High School Prepared by the Institute for Human Centered Design • www.IHCDesign.org Page 2 underside of stairs in the Instructional Media Center, mail boxes, netting at the ROTC offices area, and decorative objects like disco balls in classrooms. Additionally, other safety hazards such as unsecured mats and cables on the floor were seen throughout the building. Vertical Access The lift that gains users access to the auditorium stage was not independently operable and was not in operable working condition at the time of the survey. The school’s elevator has call buttons that are located higher than the maximum 42” height allowed. Note: The IHCD survey team also noted that while audible hall signals exist at the elevator, they were very faint and could be hard to hear by people that are hard of hearing. Signage While issues are not uniform across the school building, accessibility issues include designation signs that lack raised characters and/or braille and are not located on the latch sides of the doors. Accessible toilet rooms lack the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) (main lobby on the first floor and near the gym balcony on the first floor). Additionally, most of the inaccessible toilet rooms throughout the school lack directional signage indicating the location of the nearest accessible toilet rooms. Work Surfaces Many rooms throughout the high school building lack compliant work surfaces with a minimum of 27” knee clearance. Note: There is one science room that has accessible lab tables and IHCD recommends swapping out at least one inaccessible lab table for one from that room to ensure program accessibility across the science classes. Lockers The school on the whole has a lack of accessible lockers for students. Additionally, there are girls’ and boys’ locker rooms as well as visiting team locker rooms in the basement near the gym. These all lack the minimum required number of accessible lockers. There is also a set of lockers in the Automotive Technology Center, and there is a lack of an accessible locker in that location. Toilet Rooms Issues within the toilet rooms vary, but repeating issues include plumbing under lavatories that are not insulated, mirrors located higher than the maximum allowed, dispensers out of reach range, flush controls that are not on the open/transfer side of the toilet, side grab bars located lower than the minimum height allowed, urinals mounted higher than the maximum allowed and obstacles in the clear floor space in the accessible toilet rooms. Additional Accessibility Issues  Lack of the 32” minimum clear width at doors due to obstacles like shelving units restricting doors from being open to a 90 degree angle.  Lack of maneuvering clearance at doors due to trash and recycling cans.  Lack of accessible service counters throughout the school.  Operable parts like machine buttons and emergency eye wash stations out of reach range and/or lacking clear floor space.  Drinking fountains not in operable working condition. Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates  Renovate exterior routes around the school and to fields and play areas: $35,274  Parking lot renovations: $16,843  Renovate emergency exits: $21,970  Provide compliant interior designation and directional signage: $12,354  Ensure interior routes are accessible (including relocating equipment, automatic door openers, etc.): $31,351  Stairwell renovations: $7,970  Elevator renovations: $2,775  Ensure service counters throughout school are of an accessible height: $3,960  Provide accessible dining and work surfaces: $22,350  Install compliant drinking fountains: $15,914  Toilet room renovations: $39,681  Update fire alarms: $11,418  Miscellaneous corrective actions (including auditorium renovations, locker rooms, etc.): $17,764 Total: $239,624 Best Practice and Inclusive Design Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users.  Recommend providing a bench in the same area of the stairs below the lobby level on the first floor that is on an accessible route.  Recommend ensuring lower handrails in the Instructional Media Center extend past the top and bottom stairs in all staircases.  Consider providing an adjustable height bed in the health suite.  Consider providing a seated scale in the health suite.  Consider removing striping across from Exit #36 or connecting it to an accessible sidewalk, as this could be confusing for some people.  Recommend providing the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) at all accessible lockers.  Recommend ensuring that stairs have extensions at the top and bottom of each railing. Also recommend providing a lower handrail on at least one side of the stairs located at 18" high. Also recommend ensuring handrails remain continuous.  Recommend adding contrasting strips at the edge of each step on interior stairs. ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID Salem High School City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

The building has a main accessible entrance on the north side and exits around the building; there are eight accessible exits including the main entrance/exit. Horace Mann Laboratory School is a three story building connected by an elevator and interior stairs. The Principal’s Office, the nurse’s office, parent’s lounge, kindergarten computer stations, specialized classrooms (such as Pathways classrooms) and the main office are located on the first floor. A cafeteria, art room, gym, band room, chorus room, ESL classrooms, reading specialist room and offices are located on the second floor. A library, O.T office, inclusion teacher rooms, science labs (A and greenhouse, computer lab, speech language room and professional department room are located on the third floor. Additional classrooms and toilet rooms are located on all floors. Exterior amenities include the Robert J. Geswell athletic field (south side of the school) and two playgrounds; one on the southeast side of the school and the second one near the kindergarten classrooms. The parking lot is located on the north side of the school; there are 79 parking spaces including three accessible spaces. Key Accessibility Issues Exterior Access Routes Major accessibility issues include lack of accessible routes to all amenities in the school (seating areas at athletic field, benches, picnic tables, etc.), lack of a compliant accessible route to the garden and around the raised beds (south side of the school), and lack of handrails at the ramp leading to the main entrance. Playgrounds Accessibility issues include lack of an accessible route to and around the playgrounds and lack of an accessible route to each play component in the playgrounds. Note: The Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB) does not consider engineered wood fiber (EWF) to comply with its regulation requiring an accessible route to each play component and around the playground. Signage Accessibility issues include lack of tactile signs (raised and braille characters) at the emergency exits and permanent rooms, lack of illuminated exit signs with the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) at the accessible exits, and lack of directional signs at the inaccessible exits to the nearest accessible exits. Other accessibility issues include designation signs not located on the wall adjacent to the latch side of doors and lack of the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) at the accessible toilet rooms. Toilet and Bathing Rooms Accessibility issues include lack of a compliant urinal (toilet room near the cafeteria), toilet mounted higher than the maximum height allowed (toilet room near kindergarten classroom) and the accessible compartment at the men’s toilet room at the gym is not maintained in operable working condition (door to the compartment is not provided). Other accessibility issues include doors with malfunctioning self-closing hinge or noncompliant door hardware and lack of compliant side and/or rear grab bars. Note: The rear grab bars in most of the toilet rooms are shorter than the minimum length required in order to prevent interference with the flush control. They are noncompliant but usable, so no cost for a longer compliant rear grab bar is included in the catalog in these instances. Additional accessibility issues at the toilet and bathing rooms include shower seats mounted lower than the minimum height allowed and controls mounted higher than the maximum height allowed (boys’ and girls’ toilet rooms located at the gym). ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem Horace Mann Laboratory School Prepared by the Institute for Human Centered Design • www.IHCDesign.org Page 2 Accessibility issues in the nurse’s toilet room include lack of the minimum clear floor space at the transfer shower and seat and grab bars mounted lower than the minimum height allowed. Classrooms Accessibility issues include lack of accessible works surfaces (with knee clearance) at some classrooms (including computer lab, reading room specialist, Science Lab B, greenhouse, etc.) and lack of clear floor space, positioned for a forward approach, at sinks because objects are being stored at the clear floor space (Pathways classrooms, 1st and 2nd grade classrooms and reading room specialist). Other accessibility issues include emergency eyewash handle mounted higher than the maximum height allowed (Science Lab lack of knee and toe clearance at the sinks located at the band room, the speech language pathologist and the greenhouse. Additional Accessibility Issues  Lack of drinking fountains for seated or standing users.  Lack of one accessible parking space and Lack of the designation “Van Accessible” at the sign located at the van accessible parking space.  Lack of accessible lockers at the lockers located throughout the school.  Lack of accessible picnic tables.  Coat hooks mounted higher than the maximum height allowed (gym locker rooms) Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates  Provide accessible routes to all exterior amenities in the school: $9,755  Provide compliant handrails (ramps towards the accessible entrance): $3,420  Provide work surfaces and dining surfaces with knee clearance (5 work surfaces and 1 dining surface): $3,675  Provide compliant egress, designation and directional signs: $5,846  Provide accessible sinks (knee/toe clearance band room, speech language pathologist room and greenhouse): $6,708  Renovate toilet and bathing rooms: $6,762  Provide an accessible route around the playground (stone dust) and to each play component (poured-in-place rubber): $28,273  Provide or renovate drinking fountains for seated and standing users: $6,710  Miscellaneous corrective actions (parking, hoistway signs at elevator, accessible lockers, etc.): $3,853 Total: $75,002* *Cost to provide a compliant transfer shower compartment in the nurse’s room is not included. Best Practice and Inclusive Design Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users.  IHCD strongly recommends exploring the possibility of an alternative surface to engineered wood fiber (EWF). Overtime, EWF requires continuous maintenance to ensure the surface is maintained in operable working condition (stable, firm and slip-resistant). In addition, when used in combination with other surfaces required for accessible routes to play components in Massachusetts, it will present a challenge to prevent level changes at the transition points between EWF and other surfaces, and to keep the accessible routes clear of EWF.  Recommend providing an adjustable exam table in the nurse’s room.  Recommend replacing the electric outlet where top is flush with the floor to prevent tripping hazard (Science Lab  Recommend adding contrasting strips at the edge of each step at the route leading to the stage.  Recommend providing a raised bed 34" max. high to the top and 27" min. high knee clearance under in the community garden. ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID Horace Mann Laboratory School City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

It is a four-story municipal parking structure with parking spaces on all floors with the fourth level providing rooftop parking. There are a total of 910 parking spaces including nineteen (19) accessible parking spaces. The accessible parking spaces includes eight accessible spaces on the first floor (four car accessible spaces and four van accessible spaces), eight accessible parking spaces on the second floor (five car accessible spaces and three van accessible spaces), one van accessible space on the third floor and two car accessible spaces on the fourth floor (roof level). Electric car charging stations are located on the first floor on Level 1A (east side). Pay station machines are located outside the garage on New Liberty Street and on the first floor near the elevators. The main driving entrance and exit are on the first floor on the east side on New Liberty Street. The pedestrian accessible route to the parking garage is through a set of two elevators located on the mezzanine level of the mall. Four staircases in the garage connect all floors. Amenities include the elevators, accessible parking spaces, electric car charging stations, pay station machines and a first floor attendant’s office. Accessibility Issues Accessible Routes The major accessibility issue is the lack of an accessible route to the accessible parking spaces in the garage after the mall is closed. Parking Spaces Accessibility issues include lack of the minimum width at the van accessible parking spaces, and at the access aisles. Other accessibility issues include lack of the designation “Van Accessible” at the identification signs at van accessible parking spaces and identification signs mounted lower than the minimum height allowed. Signage Accessibility issues include missing or noncompliant egress signs including tactile signs (raised characters and braille) and signs not located on the latch side of the door. Additional Accessibility Issues • Excessive running slope at the curb ramp leading to the elevators (roof level), the curb ramp on the second floor (near the elevator) and the exterior curb ramp on New Liberty Street. • Noncompliant threshold at the door leading to the elevator (roof level). Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates • Provide compliant curb ramps: $8,400 • Provide compliant egress signs: $5,220 • Restripe accessible parking spaces and provide identification signs at the accessible parking spaces: $2588 • Miscellaneous corrective actions (door threshold, etc.): $113 Total: $16,321 Best Practice and Inclusive Design Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users. • Recommend adding contrasting strips at the edge of each step at all of interior stairs. ---PAGE BREAK--- Museum Place Garage Prepared by the Institute for Human Centered Design • www.IHCDesign.org Page 2 • Recommend locating the electric car charging spaces near the elevator. • Recommend adding an accessible route to the charging station on both sides of the electric charging space. • Recommend having more visible signs identifying the location of the electric car charging spaces. • Recommend providing at least one van accessible parking space on the first floor near the entrance to the garage on New Liberty Street. That way when the garage is closed accessible parking spaces are still availabe to patrons with disabilities. • Recommend locating the directional signs to the elevator in more visible locations. • Recommend relocating the informational sign with hours of operation to a more visible location. In addtion, recommend locating the information also near the elevators. • Recommend providing brighter lighting through the interior of the garage. ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID Museum Place Garage City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

Saltonstall is a bilingual school in which English and Spanish are the main languages spoken; morning announcements, report cards, and other notices are all given in both languages. The building has 16 emergency exits, including the main entrance and the accessible entrance (Exit nine of them are accessible. Parking is provided in the small lot with a total of six parking spaces, including two designated accessible parking spaces. Saltonstall School is a four floor building with a sub-basement and a basement connected by a central elevator and a set of interior stairs. Classrooms, nurse’s office, main office, auditorium, and library are located on the first floor, the Norman H. Read Discovery Center and additional classrooms are located on the second floor, the gym is located in the sub-basement, the cafeteria and additional classrooms are located in the basement. Multi-user and single-user toilet rooms are located in the basement, as well as on the first and second floors. Exterior amenities include a community garden, two playground areas, and a small parking lot with 17 parking spaces including two accessible parking spaces. Key Accessibility Issues Exterior Access Routes The route to the accessible entrance from the accessible parking lot has multiple instances where the cross slope is excessive. Also of concern is the lack of a compliant landing at the east side entrance to the school area near the playgrounds. Additionally, the route to Emergency Exits #5 and #6 have an excessive running slope, and benches in the area lack accessible routes to them. Parking Accessibility issues include lack of a compliant van access aisle and lack of the designation “Van Accessible” at one of the identification signs. Emergency Exits Accessibility issues include lack of tactile signs (raised characters and braille) at all of the emergency exits, lack of illuminated exit signs with the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) and lack of directional signage at the inaccessible exits indicating the location of the nearest accessible exits. Additionally, in the vestibule before Exit (west side of the school), there is a noncompliant running slope. While this is technically not compliant, the exit is not accessible but the area is still generally usable. Interior Routes Accessibility issues include lack of mats that are securely attached, accessible routes in the classrooms lack at least 36” minimum width. Most of these issues are due to clutter. Vertical Access The lift that provides users access to the auditorium stage was not in operable working condition at the time of the survey, due to a set of stairs to the auditorium that are in the way of the door at the lower level. The school’s elevator has call buttons that are located higher than the maximum 42” allowed. Sinks The major accessibility issue includes lack of accessible sinks (with knee and toe clearance) at most of the classrooms. The sinks in the Art Room are a good example of an accessible sink design that can be replicated in other rooms throughout the school. Playground Accessibility issues include lack of an accessible route around the playground at one of the playgrounds and lack of an accessible routes to each play component in the playground. ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem Saltonstall School Prepared by the Institute for Human Centered Design • www.IHCDesign.org Page 2 Note: The Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB) does not consider engineered wood fiber (EWF) to comply with its regulation requiring an accessible route to each play component and around the playground. Toilet Rooms Accessibility issues include mirrors located higher than the maximum height allowed, objects in the clear floor space in the single-user toilet rooms and side grab bars that are located lower than the minimum height allowed. Additional Accessibility Issues  Drinking fountains lack cane-detectable barriers under the standing height fountains.  Lack of maneuvering clearance at doors due to trash and recycling cans.  Lack of an accessible picnic table (near upper playground).  Some classrooms lack work surface with knee and toe clearance.  Lack of designation signs or not located on the latch side of the door or is covered by paper signs.  Handrails on the ramp on the east side of the building that are not continuous.  Door to the music room requires more than 5 lbs. of force to open. Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates  Renovate exterior routes: $3,420  Relocate elevator button controls: $1,446  Provide work surfaces with knee clearance: $1,575  Provide compliant emergency egress and designation signage: $5,997  Sink repairs in classrooms: $10,120  Toilet room renovations: $9,574  Playground renovations: $53,325  Drinking fountain repairs: $2,004  Miscellaneous corrective actions (parking, thresholds, picnic table, etc.): $2,422 Total: $89,883 Best Practice and Inclusive Design Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users.  IHCD strongly recommends exploring the possibility of an alternative surface to engineered wood fiber (EWF). Overtime, EWF requires continuous maintenance to ensure the surface is maintained in operable working condition (stable, firm and slip-resistant). In addition, when used in combination with other surfaces required for accessible routes to play components in Massachusetts, it will present a challenge to prevent level changes at the transition points between EWF and other surfaces, and to keep the accessible routes clear of EWF.  Recommend ensuring that visible fire alarms are clearly visible from accessible stalls in all multi-user toilet rooms.  In Room #214, recommend moving homework receptacle to a more easily accessible location.  At the staircase leading to the gym, recommend providing tactile, colored strips at the edges of each stair.  At doorway near Room #111 and all other doors that are not connected to rooms, recommend removing door so as to avoid confusion in the function of the area. ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID Saltonstall School City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

It is a four-story municipal parking structure with parking spaces on floors 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 and 4, with the fourth level providing roof-top parking. There are a total of 208 parking spaces including seven accessible parking spaces. The location of the accessible parking spaces includes two accessible parking spaces on the first, second and third floors, and a single accessible parking space on the fourth floor. There are also payment kiosks at multiple locations, four electric vehicle spaces on the first floor, and several spaces reserved for permit holders on the third floor. The main driving entrance and exit is on the first floor on the southwest side on Congress Street. Double glass doors at the same location lead to a staircase and elevator. The staircase connects the full and half floors, while the elevator connects the four full floors. There is also a driving entrance and door to a second staircase on the northeast side on Derby Street. Sidewalks follow the Congress and Derby Street sides of the building. Amenities include the elevator, accessible parking spaces, and a first floor attendant’s office and employee-only toilet room. The Scratch Kitchen Restaurant is built into the garage with an entrance at the corner of Congress and Derby Streets. Key Accessibility Issues Signage Accessibility issues include missing or noncompliant egress, identification and designation signs including tactile and illuminated signs at egress doors and designation and identification signs at accessible parking spaces. Additional Accessibility Issues: • Two van accessible parking spaces are narrower than the minimum width required. • One door threshold higher than the maximum height allowed. • Staircase that lacks a cane-detectable barrier and acts as a protruding object. Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates • Renovate and provide signage: $2,796 • Miscellaneous corrective actions (restriping parking spaces, door threshold, cane-detectable barrier, etc.): $1,283 Total: $4,079 Best Practice and Inclusive Design Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users. • Recommend adding contrasting strips at the edge of each step at both sets of interior stairs. ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID South Harbor Garage City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

The school has three floors in total, with a basement, first floor, and second floor. There are a series of lifts and ramps that allow access to all three floors. One lift allows access to the basement level from the first floor near the OT/PT room. Another stair lift allows access to the stage in the cafeteria and to the OT/PT room. This lift was, however, not operable at the time of the survey. The first and second floors, on the south side of the school, have a series of ramps from the main entrance area and between the C and D hallways. There is also an elevator in this area that gives access to the first and second floor. The gym and music rooms are located in the basement, the cafeteria, main office, nurse’s office and classrooms are located on the first floor, and additional classrooms are located on the second floor. Amenities outside include a playground, a basketball court, a baseball field, and two parking areas. There are 14 emergency exits in the building, 11 of which are accessible including the main entrance. There are 101 parking spaces distributed among three parking lots for visitors and staff; five parking spaces are labeled as accessible. Note: The parking area by the baseball field extending to the west side of the school was not surveyed. IHCD team has been informed that all three parking areas have been re-striped since the date of the survey. Key Accessibility Issues Parking Both surveyed parking lots have very faded striping, so the IHCD survey team was unable to properly survey the size of the accessible spaces and access aisles. There is also a lack of a parking space with the designation “Van Accessible.” Exterior Access Routes There are multiple instances, such as the route to the playground, where the slope of the access route is excessive. This is also the case in the courtyard garden and en route to an emergency exit on the north side of the school. Emergency Exits All of the emergency exits lack tactile signage indicating them as exits. Additionally, the accessible exits lack illuminated exit signs that contain the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA), and inaccessible exits lack directional signage indicating the location of the nearest accessible exit. Interior Routes Throughout the school, classrooms have mats that are not properly secured. Additional issues include a lack at least 36” width in circulation paths in classrooms, where most of these issues are due to clutter or storage that do not allow for 36” clear width paths. Stored objects are also placed in the maneuvering clearances for many classroom doors. Work Surfaces There are a number of classrooms that lack an accessible work surface that is adjusted to the minimum 24” knee clearance to the bottom of the table. Sinks Many classrooms throughout the school have sinks of an accessible design, but still lack proper knee clearance due to the height to the bottom of the counters. ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem Heights Elementary School Prepared by the Institute for Human Centered Design • www.IHCDesign.org Page 2 Toilet Rooms The major accessibility concern is that the multi-user toilet rooms have rear grab bars that are less than the minimum required 42” long. Other accessibility concerns include a lack of a toilet paper dispenser in the boys’ toilet room near room C219, lack of compliant door hardware and door closing mechanisms, and exposed plumbing underneath lavatories. Note: The multi-user toilet rooms on the second floor near room D224 could not be surveyed because they were being cleaned by staff at the time of the survey. On the day of the survey IHCD team observed a portable toilet near the baseball field. IHCD was told that the presence of the portable toilet is not a regular occurrence, so a cost to provide an accessible portable toilet is not provided. Fields Accessibility issues include a lack of an accessible route to the baseball field and to the sideline seating. Play Areas There is a lack of an accessible route around the playground and lack of an accessible route to ground level play components in the playground. Note: The Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB) does not consider engineered wood fiber (EWF) to comply with its regulation requiring an accessible route to each play component and around the playground. Additional Accessibility Issues  Lack of standing height drinking fountains throughout the school.  Lack of an accessible route to the garden bed in courtyard garden.  Lack of signage to the nearest accessible entrance at the entrance for YMCA pick up. Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates  Exterior route renovations: $11,330  Parking lot renovations: $750  Provide compliant egress and directional signage: $5,314  Toilet room renovations: $4,168  Install drinking fountains: $12,084  Classroom sink renovations: $10,258  Ensuring accessible routes to and around playground: $37,050  Provide an accessible route to baseball field and sidelines seating: $5,383  Miscellaneous corrective actions (work surfaces, etc.): $660 Total: $86,997 Best Practice and Inclusive Design Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users.  Consider providing a seated scale in the nurse’s office.  Recommend providing informational signage at the exits to the courtyard garden that say “Exit to Courtyard” so that people are aware that these exits do not lead away from the building.  Recommend restriping all of the parking spaces in both parking lots.  IHCD strongly recommends exploring the possibility of an alternative surface to engineered wood fiber (EWF). Overtime, EWF requires continuous maintenance to ensure the surface is maintained in operable working condition (stable, firm and slip-resistant). In addition, when used in combination with other surfaces required for accessible routes to play components in Massachusetts, it will present a challenge to prevent level changes at the transition points between EWF and other surfaces, and to keep the accessible routes clear of EWF. ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID Heights Elementary School City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

Overtime, EWF requires continuous maintenance to ensure the surface is maintained in operable working condition (stable, firm and slip resistant). In addition, when used in combination with other surfaces required for accessible routes to play components in Massachusetts, it will present a challenge to prevent level changes at the transition points between EWF and other surfaces, and to keep the accessible routes clear of EWF.  Recommend providing a 48” min. clear floor space around the picnic table.  Recommend providing directional signs to the accessible route to the school at the bottom of the stairs leading to the school. ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID Broad Street Playground City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

Over the years numerous changes in use and alterations to the Common have taken place including the removal of three hills, the filling-in of five ponds and the creation of a tunnel. The Common is on the National Register of Historic Places and is considered the of the Army National Guard. Park amenities include a gazebo, a basketball court, a wayside, picnic tables, benches, a playground and a bike rack. There is also a war memorial in honor of residents of Salem who died fighting during and between World War II through the Korean War, an arch in honor of George Washington who visited Salem Common, and a large flag pole. A tunnel was built under the Common, but the entrance to the Salem Common’s tunnel is sealed. There are multiple entrances on all sides of the park, and walkways through the park. Key Accessibility Issues Exterior Routes Accessibility issues include lack of an accessible route to some park amenities including the basketball court, a wayside, a bike rack, an accessible picnic table, a gazebo and around the exterior of the playground. Also, walkways have excessive running slopes and changes in level that are greater than the maximum allowed at multiple locations. Curb Ramps Accessibility issues with curb ramps include lack of a curb ramp at some park entrances and at the far side of some crosswalks connected to park entrances. There are also curb ramps with a running slope that is greater than the maximum allowed, and curb ramps with a transition between the curb ramp and the street that is not flush. Additional Accessibility Issues  Lack of an accessible route to one play component in the playground (a poured-in-place rubber route is required.) Note: The Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB) does not consider engineered wood fiber (EWF) to comply with its regulation requiring an accessible route to each play component and around the playground.

It surrounds the historic Old Town Hall and is at the center of a block with Essex Street to the North, Front Street to the south, Central Street to the east and Washington Street to the west. The south side of the Square hosts the Salem Farmer’s Market, Salem Jazz & Soul Summer Series, Derby Square Flea and Salvage Market and a variety of other programs and entertainment activities. Key Accessibility Issues Exterior Routes The major accessibility issue is the lack of handrails on the ramp near the stairs on the south side of the Square. Additional accessibility issues include multiple instances throughout the Square of excessive cross slopes and changes in level that exceed the maximum height allowed. There are also three tree enclosures that lack a tree and are not filled in flush with the surrounding brick. This creates changes in level greater than the maximum allowed and results in tripping hazards. Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates • Renovate exterior routes (including cross slopes, changes in level, curb ramp landing, etc.) $1,241 • Provide handrails for the ramp on the south side of the square: $990 Total: $2,231 Best Practice and Inclusive Design Recommendations Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users. • Recommend providing handrails on at least one side of the large set of stairs on the south side of Derby Square. • Recommend providing a bench on the east side of the square that has clear space with a running and cross slope no greater than 1:50 (2.00%) in all directions. • Recommend providing a 30” by 48” minimum clear space along the side of a bench on the north end of the square near Essex Street. ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID Derby Square City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

Amenities include two benches, two bike racks, a drinking fountain, trash and recycling containers, and a “Bewitched” statue recognizing Elizabeth Montgomery’s character Samantha Stephens from the Bewitched television series of the 1960’s and 70’s. Key Accessibility Issues Drinking Fountain Accessibility issues include lack of the required minimum clear floor space for a forward approach at a drinking fountain for seated users, and lack of a drinking fountain for standing users. Additional Accessibility Issues • Deteriorated asphalt and an excessive change in level at the exterior accessible route near the Bewitched statue. Note: IHCD team noticed that a free book exchange stand visible in Google Earth images of Lappin Park was not in the park on the day of the survey. If the book exchange stand is reinstalled, ensure that it is on an accessible route and that it has an accessible book exchange compartment positioned within reach range.

Parking is located off of Commercial Street on the north side of the river, on an unnamed road off of Commercial Street at the northeast end of the park by North Street, and off of Flint Street at the southwest end of the park. Active railroad tracks run along the south border of the park. Key Accessibility Issues Exterior Routes Accessibility issues include excessive changes in level at the walkway-to-bridge transition points at both of the bridges, changes in level greater than the maximum allowed at multiple locations in the park walkways, and lack of an accessible route to the small dog park entrance. Also, low hanging branches act as protruding objects at multiple walkway locations. Parking Lots Accessibility issues at the parking lot at Flint Street include lack of a van accessible parking space with an access aisle and an identification sign with the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) and the designation “Van Accessible”. Accessibility issues at the parking lot adjacent to North Street include lack of an access aisle at the van accessible parking space, and lack of a sign with the designation “Van Accessible”. Accessibility issues at the Commercial Street parking lot include an access aisle that is narrower than the minimum width required and lack of an identification sign with the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) and the designation “Van Accessible”. Additional Accessibility Issues • Lack of a curb ramp where the access aisle at the van accessible parking space joins the walkway in the Commercial Street parking lot.

Park amenities include a playground, comfort station, picnic tables, benches, baseball field concession stand, basketball court, and community garden. Parking is provided at two off-street parking lots. The parking lot closest to the comfort station and voting area has six parking spaces, including one designated accessible parking space. The parking lot near the baseball field has space for approximately 25 cars, and there is one designated accessible parking space. Key Accessibility Issues Parking Accessibility issues include the accessible space at the parking lot near the comfort station and voting area which lacks a marked access aisle. Also, there is an excessive slope at the accessible space, and the identification sign lacks the designation “Van Accessible”. The accessible parking space in at the parking lot near the baseball field also lacks a marked access aisle, and the identification sign is lower than the minimum height required and lacks the designation “Van Accessible”. Toilet Rooms The men’s and women’s toilet rooms are both single-user toilet rooms and have identical accessibility issues. Both toilet rooms have toilets with centerlines that are greater than the required 18” from the side wall, mirrors located higher than the maximum height allowed, and paper towel dispensers in the circulation path. Exterior Routes Accessibility issues include lack of an accessible route to many park amenities. These amenities include the playground, basketball court, drinking fountain, baseball field, concession stand, sideline seating and the community garden. Additionally, the community garden lacks accessible routes inside the garden to a variety of flower beds. (See Fig. 1 at the end of this narrative showing suggested accessible routes to amenities.) Playground Accessibility issues include lack of an accessible route to and around the playground. Also, the playground lacks an accessible route to each play component. Additional Accessibility Issues • The water spigot at the community garden is not accessible (it requires tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist). Note: The Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB) does not consider engineered wood fiber (EWF) to comply with its regulation requiring an accessible route to each play component and around the playground. Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates • Parking lot renovations: $1,632 • Renovate exterior routes: $7,771 • Provide an accessible route to and around the playground: $7,388 • Provide an accessible route to each play component in the playground (poured-in-place rubber): $7,000 • Provide a drinking fountain for a standing user: $3,021 • Toilet room renovations: $5,686 • Miscellaneous corrective actions (accessible picnic table, accessible water spigot, etc.) $1,060 Total: $33,558 ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem Mack Park Prepared by the Institute for Human Centered Design • www.IHCDesign.org Page 2 Best Practice and Inclusive Design Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users. • Recommend providing raised flower beds with knee and toe clearance to allow for a forward approach. • Recommend providing a 36”x48” min. firm, stable and slip resistant clear floor space adjacent to each bench in the park. • Recommend providing a 48” min. firm, stable and slip resistant clear floor space around each accessible picnic table in the park. • IHCD strongly recommends exploring the possibility of an alternative surface to engineered wood fiber (EWF). Overtime, EWF requires continuous maintenance to ensure that the surface is maintained in operable working condition (stable, firm and slip resistant). In addition, when used in combination with other surfaces required for accessible routes to play components in Massachusetts, it will present a challenge to prevent level changes at the transition points between EWF and other surfaces, and to keep the accessible routes clear of EWF.

McGrath Park is located at 46 Marlborough Road. The park has two off-street parking lots, two soccer fields, two playgrounds, one basketball court and a concession stand. The first parking lot (south) has approximately 36 parking spaces, including two designated accessible parking spaces. It is located near the entrance next to the south playground and has a direct path to the basketball court. The second parking lot (north) has approximately 65 parking spaces, including three designated van accessible parking spaces. The east side of the parking lot has a route that connects to the concession stand, the north playground and both soccer fields. The concession stand houses two single-user men’s and women’s toilet rooms. They are accessed on the southwest side of the concession stand. The service counter is located on the southeast side of the building. Key Accessibility Issues Parking The north parking lot is compliant. The south parking lot lacks a sign for the van accessible parking space that contains the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) as well as the designation “Van Accessible.” Exterior Accessible Routes While there are routes that loop around the two soccer fields, neither of them are directly connected to the exterior access routes. Additionally, team seating on the north soccer field does not connect to an accessible route. Routes that do exist are in need of maintenance. Play Areas Accessibility issues include lack of a compliant accessible route to and around play components in the play areas. Note: The Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB) does not consider engineered wood fiber (EWF) to comply with its regulation requiring an accessible route to and around playground equipment. Toilet Rooms The women’s toilet room has a flush control that is not on the open/transfer side of the toilet. Both toilet rooms lack clear floor space at the toilets due to the location of the trash cans and both lavatories have exposed plumbing. Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates  Provide compliant exterior accessible routes: $6,443  Provide accessible route around the playground and to all play components in the playground (poured-in-place rubber): $36,117  Toilet room renovations: $419  Miscellaneous corrective actions (parking, drinking fountain, etc.): $4,005 Total: $46,984 Best Practice and Inclusive Design Recommendations Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards, but may create enhanced experiences for all users.  IHCD strongly recommends exploring the possibility of an alternative surface to engineered wood fiber (EWF). Overtime, EWF requires continuous maintenance to ensure the surface is maintained in operable working ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem McGrath Park Prepared by the Institute for Human Centered Design • www.IHCDesign.org Page 2 condition (stable, firm and slip resistant). In addition, when used in combination with other surfaces required for accessible routes to play components in Massachusetts, it will present a challenge to prevent level changes at the transition points between EWF and other surfaces, and to keep the accessible routes clear of EWF. The following two images (Figure 1 and Figure 2) show suggested locations for 48” min. accessible routes to and around the two playgrounds in McGrath Park (red lines), and for 60” min. accessible routes to each play component in each playground (green lines, poured-in-place rubber recommended).

Amenities include a path along the harbor, a baseball field, a basketball court, benches, a picnic table, two community garden areas and a comfort station. Also, off-street parking is located off of Leavitt Street with space for approximately 15 cars. There is no designated accessible parking. Key Accessibility Issues Exterior Routes Accessibility issues include lack of compliant exterior accessible routes to park amenities including to the team seating at the baseball field, the basketball court, and to and within both community garden areas. Existing routes are not firm, stable and slip resistant, are narrower than the minimum width required, or have running slopes or changes in level that are greater than the maximum allowed. Note: at the time of the survey the gates to the two community garden areas were locked, so the entries to the garden areas could not be surveyed. Parking Accessibility issues at the parking lot include lack of one van accessible parking space with compliant access aisle and designation sign with the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) and the words “Van Accessible”. Toilet Rooms Accessibility issues include the only available toilet room having a designation sign indicating it is only for men, and a locked never used women’s toilet room having an accessible toilet designation sign. Additional Accessibility Issues • Lack of an accessible picnic table near the toilet rooms. Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates • Renovate and provide exterior routes: $ 19,182 • Renovate parking lot: $ 1,388 • Miscellaneous corrective actions: (signage, accessible picnic table, etc.): $1,400 Total: $21,970 Best Practice and Inclusive Design Recommendations Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users. • Recommend providing raised beds in the community garden mounted at 34” above the ground with toe and knee clearance. • Recommend providing a 48” min. clear floor space around the picnic table. • Recommend updating website and other informational materials to remove word “Playground” from all descriptions since there is no playground on site. ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID Palmer Cove Park & Playground City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

Amenities include picnic areas, pavilions (five in total), benches, tennis courts, a basketball court, hatch shell, and a public beach named Dead Horse Beach. Also in this location is a set of public men’s, women’s and family toilet rooms, the “Clam Shack,” a Canoe Shed and a boardwalk with arcade games, ice cream stands, and a restaurant. Parking is provided for this park with multiple off-street parking lots. The lot closest to the boardwalk has metered parking, and additional lots are near Dead Horse Beach and the tennis courts. The metered parking lot is currently the only lot with designated accessible spaces. Key Accessibility Issues Exterior Routes While there are paved routes to most major park amenities, many of them have excessive running slopes due to the landscape of the park (including routes to the hatch shell, the pavilion with ramp near the center of the park, Dead Horse Beach access, and the tennis courts). Other accessibility issues include lack of accessible routes to many amenities in the park (including the Canoe Shed, the Clam Shack, Dead Horse Beach, basketball court, picnic areas and benches throughout the park. Also of concern is the lack of a compliant ramp leading to the hatch shell stage. Parking Accessibility issues at the parking lots include lack of designated accessible parking spaces at the lots located near Dead Horse Beach and the tennis courts. The lot near the tennis courts lacks one required van accessible parking space with sign containing the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) and designation “Van Accessible” as well as a compliant access aisle. It also lacks two required car accessible parking spaces with signs containing the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) and a compliant access aisle. Accessibility issues at the metered parking near the boardwalk include lack of an identification sign with the designation “Van Accessible” at a van accessible parking space in front of the Arcade. The other accessible spaces in the metered lot lack a compliant access aisles and signs with the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA). Toilet Rooms Accessibility issues at the toilet rooms include lack a compliant ramp leading to the entrance (landing and excessive running slope) and minor issues with designation signs not located on the latch sides of the doors. Accessibility issues in the women’s toilet room include lack of the required ambulatory compartment, non-compliant toilet paper dispenser, door with malfunctioning self-closing hinge, and hand dryers that protrude into the circulation path.

The site was first settled in the early 17th century, and subsequently was the site of Fort Pickering; an historical earthen fort that still stands on the property. Large portions of the site were annexed by the US Coast Guard in the 1930s (the Coast Guard built various structures during this period), and then abandoned the location in 1969. The City of Salem took possession of Winter Island in 1972, designating it a marine park and creating most of the current park amenities. In 2011, a master plan was developed outlining additional improvements to Winter Island Park. Amenities at the park include Waikiki Beach with adjacent comfort station, Fort Pickering with historic sites and waterfront access, a small camping area, an RV parking area, a playground with an unpaved parking lot, a bandstand, picnic pavilion, a gazebo, a boat launch, canoe launch, and various waysides explaining the historical value of the site. Additionally, the property has a function hall with toilets, and a main office with a small store and park reception services. The southernmost portion of the park also has a small building that serves as the office of the Salem Harbormaster. Parking is provided by a series of lots including a playground parking lot, a parking lot by the harbormaster’s office, parking near the bandstand area, and a main parking lot at the south end of the facility off of Winter Island Road. The main parking lot is the largest lot with 99 spaces including two van accessible parking spaces and three car accessible parking spaces. Key Accessibility Issues Exterior Access Routes Accessibility issues include a lack of accessible routes connecting park amenities due to running and cross slopes that are greater than the maximum slope allowed, and changes in level or gaps in walkways that are also greater than the maximum allowed. These include lack of accessible routes to the Harbormaster’s Office, the gazebo near the boat launch, the picnic pavilion, the canoe launch, the camping area, Waikiki beach, the playground, the bandstand, Fort Pickering and the comfort station. Parking Accessibility issues include lack of a van accessible parking space located on the shortest accessible route to the accessible entrance at the main park office (one of the existing two van accessible parking spaces should be relocated). Also there is the lack of a designated van accessible parking space in the playground parking area, a van accessible parking space access aisle is narrower than the minimum width required in the bandstand parking area, and a van accessible parking space in the Harbormaster’s parking lot lacks a sign with the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) and the words “Van Accessible”. Ramps Accessibility issues include lack of handrails on one side at the ramps to the comfort station toilet rooms, a railing that does not extend 12” beyond the lower ramp landing run and a landing transition with a change in level that is greater than allowed at the function hall ramp, and the railings at the ramp to the main office that have a noncompliant cross section. Signage Accessibility issues include signs at permanent rooms which are not located on the latch side of the door, signs at egress doors that lack raised characters and braille, lack of signs indicating the location of the nearest accessible exit and illuminated exit signs that lack the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA). ---PAGE BREAK--- Winter Island Park and Waikiki Beach Prepared by the Institute for Human Centered Design • www.IHCDesign.org Page 2 Changing Rooms Accessibility issues include a lack of compliant benches in both the men’s and women’s changing rooms. The women’s changing room is also smaller than allowable, lacking the required minimum turning space. Toilet and Shower Rooms Accessibility issues include lavatories in all toilet rooms with exposed plumbing and mirrors mounted higher than the maximum height allowed. The urinal in the men’s comfort station toilet room is mounted higher than the maximum height allowed. Also, the toilet centerline in the function hall toilet room is farther from the wall than allowed, and the paper towel dispenser protrudes into the clear floor space at the toilet. Accessible compartments in the men’s and women’s comfort station have non-functional self-closing hinges, side grab bars mounted lower than required, and toilet paper dispensers mounted over the grab bars. The women’s comfort station toilet room also lacks an ambulatory accessible compartment. The men’s accessible compartment has noncompliant door hardware and the toilet flush control is not mounted on the open/transfer side. Additionally, the accessible showers in both of the changing rooms are not compliant. Play Areas Accessibility issues include a lack of required routes around the perimeter of the playground, as well a lack of an accessible route that connects each play element in the playground. Note: The Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB) does not consider engineered wood fiber (EWF) to comply with its regulation requiring an accessible route to each play component and around the playground. Additional Accessibility Issues • Lack of accessible picnic tables on accessible routes in all areas with picnic tables. • Lack of a drinking fountain for a standing user at the comfort station. Order of Magnitude Cost Estimates • Renovate exterior access routes (including an access ramp to the canoe launch): $47,719 • Provide an accessible beach access route (beach mat): $2,475 • Renovate parking lot: $2,825 • Renovate exterior ramps (compliant handrails, etc.): $10,254 • Renovate picnic areas (accessible picnic tables on an accessible route): $6,187 • Renovate toilets and showers: $11,622 • Provide a compliant drinking fountain for seated users: $3,162 • Renovate changing rooms: $3,083 • Miscellaneous corrective actions (doors signs, etc.): $3041 Total: $90,368 Note: Cost estimate does not include required renovations to play components or a locked and unused building north of the main parking area which was not surveyed. Best Practice & Universal Design Best practice and inclusive design recommendations include elements that are not required in the standards but may create enhanced experiences for all users. • Recommend lowering the intensity of floor waxing on cement floors in order to decrease glare and chances of slipping when floors are wet. • IHCD strongly recommends exploring the possibility of an alternative surface to engineered wood fiber (EWF). Overtime, EWF requires continuous maintenance to ensure the surface is maintained in operable working condition (stable, firm and slip-resistant). In addition, when used in combination with other surfaces required for accessible routes to play components in Massachusetts, it will present a challenge to prevent level changes at the transition points between EWF and other surfaces, and to keep the accessible routes clear of EWF. • IHCD team noticed what appeared to be overflow parking spaces near Fort Pickering. If these overflow parking spaces are used, provide at least one van accessible parking space with access aisle and sign. • Recommend providing at least one accessible RV parking space. • Recommend installing a dedicated pedestrian sidewalk along Winter Island Road to improve access to various amenities. • Recommend restriping faded pedestrian crosswalk across the main access road in order to improve pedestrian flow to Waikiki Beach. • Recommend providing more descriptive signage to better differentiate between the toilet rooms and changing rooms. ---PAGE BREAK--- Floor Room Location Element Type Photo Issues Current Measure Recommendations ID Winter Island Park City of Salem Quantity Price Cost Estimation A.

This review consisted of an internal assessment by deep content experts which focused on applicable portions of the World Wide Web/Web Accessibility Initiative (W3C-WAI) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1). User/Experts A User/Expert is a person who has developed expertise by means of their lived experience in dealing with the challenges of the environment due to a physical, sensory, or brain-based functional limitation. The environment is understood broadly to include physical, information, communication, policy and attitudinal/social environments. Lisa Age: Adult I Race/Ethnicity: East Asian I Gender: Female I Functional Limitations: Low-Vision I Assistive Technology: Screen Magnification Lisa has been a User/Expert with IHCD on numerous projects. She typically uses her phone to carry out various professional and personal tasks. She also uses a Windows PC with a large monitor at home for ease of use and to reduce the strain on her eyes. On her computer/laptop, she uses Google Chrome and the default magnification functions of the browser and operating system. Marius Age: Adult I Race/Ethnicity: Eastern European I Gender: Male I Functional Limitations: Blind I Assistive Technology: Screen Reader (NVDA) Marius is a visiting fellow with the US State Department, undergoing a community organizing fellowship at the Boston Center for Independent Living (BCIL). He is a technology enthusiast who enjoys testing new technology, including assistive technology, as it becomes available. He uses an iPhone and iWatch with VoiceOver, and a Windows PC with NVDA. Timea Age: Adult I Race/Ethnicity: Eastern European I Gender: Female I Functional Limitation: Blind I Assistive Technology: Screen Reader (NVDA) Timea is also a visiting fellow with the US State Department and undergoing a community organizing fellowship at the Boston Center for Independent Living (BCIL). Timea uses an Android phone with the TalkBack screen reader and an app called Corvus developed by a Slovak start-up that makes the Android environment more accessible. On her Windows laptop, she uses NVDA. Maggie Age: Adult I Race/Ethnicity: CaucasianI Gender: Female I Functional Limitations: Low-Vision I Assistive Technology: Screen Magnification and ZoomText Maggie is a student at Suffolk Law School and also works part-time for an organization called Empowerment Through Integration. She is legally blind since birth and uses screen magnification software to work on her laptop. She typically uses a MacBook Air and occasionally uses VoiceOver or read-aloud functionality to read longer text sections. She also uses an iPhone with large text and screen magnification. Example User Tasks In addition to exploring the site informally as they would if they were to navigate the site independently, User/Experts were also given site- specific tasks, such as the examples noted below. • You want to request a service or report a problem you encountered during your trip to Salem. How might you do that? • Say you are interested in looking for jobs in Salem – could you try to find more information on the process, and the document titled Application for Employment? • You are making plans to visit Salem with your friends and family for the weekend. Let’s explore the calendar and find out if there are any events that are of interest to you in that timeframe. Overview The City of Salem’s official website, salem.com, is built on the Drupal CMS with jQuery and PHP and incorporates the accessibility features that are built-in with the Drupal framework. However, there are some important elements and functionality that present barriers to accessibility especially for people who rely on assistive technology to navigate web content. For users navigating the website with a screen reader, it was challenging to find the information they were looking for due to the lack of headings and information hierarchy. Menu items were labeled as list items rather than links or headings which users were expecting to find. Improper use of HTML and ARIA attributes for the main navigation menu forces screen ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem, MA, Website Accessibility & Usability Synopsis I Prepared by Institute for Human Centered Design I www.IHCDesign.org 2 reader and keyboard users through every link or list item before allowing them to proceed to the next menu item. All menu items function as drop- down menus revealing addition sub-menu content, but none of the items are labelled as such. The lack of or incorrect use of ARIA labels and attributes exists for many UI components, including accordion menus and tab panels, which has been shown to leave screen magnifier and screen reader users unaware of the content or how to interact properly with the interface. Poor heading hierarchy, unspecific link text, and non- dismissible content or menu content that is dismissed without notice on scroll increases confusion and impedes ease of navigation for assistive technology users. The calendar functionality proved to be one of the more problematic on the site. On being tasked to find events that caught their interest in the calendar, users tended to use the search function to find the calendar/calendar page and were consistently disappointed by the lack of relevant results. One user was led to the recreational events calendar which they mistook to be the main calendar for all events on the website. They were re-directed to the calendar tabpanel on the home page but said they would not have been able to independently find the information they needed in the current setup. Once within the calendar, the information was still inaccessible to blind users using screen readers to navigate. They were forced through the filters (one titled ‘Department/Board/Committee’ contains numerous options, all of which the user is forced through before proceeding) before interacting with the main calendar content. Within the calendar, both Tuesday and Thursday are labelled and the current date was not clickable causing one user to remark, “I’m lost here.” Another significant website functionality that many users typically depend on is important city information in the form of downloadable documents. These documents are in the form of PDFs that are often inaccessible and do not have an alternative, accessible form. Many PDFs are completely inaccessible to screen reader users. Other issues include nonexistent or undescriptive form labels for form fields, and incorrect utilization of headings that makes keyboard navigation very difficult, especially for long documents. As these documents are often the only means of obtaining key information or to accomplish a certain task, users who are blind, have low-vision, or have some brain-based disabilities are unable to complete forms or find essential information, undermining their status as equal contributing members of the community. Additionally, the website design currently has insufficient color contrast and visual focus which inhibit both assistive tech and non-assistive tech users from accessing and navigating web content. The color contrast between the website background and text, link text, and form buttons is low in many instances across the website. This low color contrast provides a barrier to those with low vision or older users, who need high contrast in order to distinguish information from the background, potentially making them miss or be unable to read crucial information that others have access to. This and other inhibiting website design features, such as inappropriate alternative text, makes readability and navigation a bigger challenge for a wide range of users, including people with brain-based functional limitations. These major issues, in concert with those that follow in the catalog, present many barriers to accessibility, usability and a positive user experience. To address some of the major issues, the CSS and JavaScript theming will need to be redesigned to address all occurrences of the issues presented in the catalog. In many cases, issues are recurring throughout the website but only a limited number of examples are documented in the report. All third-party widgets, portals and websites that salem.com relies on and directs users to also need to comply with WCAG 2.1 AA. Some examples of noncompliant third-party websites and widgets that users are directed to from the Salem website are survey links via Survey Monkey which are inaccessible with keyboard navigation, and the ArcGIS Maps page. All third-party software should be properly vetted for compliance, and future RFPs and contracts should ensure that finished products are accessible and inclusively designed by specifying appropriate accessibility guidelines and conducting web accessibility reviews, with special consideration given to involving real users with a wide range of functional limitations at multiple stages throughout design and development. Web authoring staff should undergo training covering best practices for posting accessible web content and creating accessible documents. Miscellaneous Issues In addition to the compliance and usability issues that have been explored in detail in the catalog that follows, there are several accessibility issues that are relatively minor but still critical to remedy in the long run to ensure an equitable and inclusive experience for all users. • The ‘View All’ link on the News page leads to the main News page rather than revealing more/all news stories. • The two PDFs linked below are very similar with some very minor differences that are difficult to identify and their unique purposes are unclear. Users are confused by what the difference is and how to determine which one to select. • Search results are unclear and difficult to navigate for many reasons (see catalog for more detailed issues) – some searches present multiple results with the same page title without a unique identifying factor or any indication of what, if anything, separates them from each other. • When navigating the website with a screen reader, some content is read incorrectly and while minor, the issues disorients users who are trying to find information. The issue is escalated by the inconsistency with which is occurs – some words are read correctly some but not all of the times they are encountered. For example, o On the Search page, “keyword(s)” is read as “keyword” and separately o In the footer, “available here.” is read as “available here dot link” o “FAQs” encountered in a myriad of locations across the site is read correctly sometimes and not others. Inclusive Design Recommendations Outlined here are some overarching and general inclusive design recommendations that apply to most or all webpages on the website. They stem from best practices for inclusive web and digital design and/or patterns of user feedback. 1. Users with low vision and some users with brain-based functional limitations prefer text to be in smaller, digestible chunks, rather than long paragraphs. Across the website, a lot of important information is presented in paragraph format where users would have preferred the use of bullet points. Where possible, especially for ticket prices and similar categories, consider using bullet points to provide the relevant information in a clear and concise manner. 2. Most if not all users who are bind and navigate with a screen reader use shortcuts such as the list of links on each page to efficiently navigate web content. On almost every webpage in the Salem website, the list of links contains at least 107 links, many of ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem, MA, Website Accessibility & Usability Synopsis I Prepared by Institute for Human Centered Design I www.IHCDesign.org 3 which are repetitive and lead to a frustrating user experience. Consider better grouping, hierarchy and labelling for meu items and page links so that when users encounter them, their hierarchy and context add meaning and improve the overall experience. 3. Of the available downloadable documents and forms, many are outdated or unlinked. Some documents categorized as important are event and meeting notices from 2011. Consider removing or replacing old and irrelevant content so that users are presented with current updates and relevant information. Inclusive design is a framework for the design of places, things, information, communication and policy that focuses on the user, on the widest range of people operating in the widest range of situations without special or separate design. Inclusive design in the digital realm has been a leading area of focus for the international movement. As is true in other areas of design, web accessibility has been more expansive than the legal requirements for accessibility both in terms of considering a broader spectrum of users and promoting market opportunity and advantage rather than focusing on meeting minimum requirements. ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem, MA, Website Accessibility and Usability Analysis Prepared by www.IHCDesign.org 4 Image Section Issue Name Issue Details Issue Tags 1. General Content Non-Visible Focus Background Visual focus is critical to let users know which element among multiple elements has the keyboard focus. Failure to provide visual focus creates a huge access barrier for sighted users that rely on the use of keyboards to navigate such as older users, users with dexterity impairments, users with some brain-based conditions, and users with low vision. The focus indicator must also have a color contrast so users with low-vision or older users can distinguish the focus indicator from surrounding elements. Current On Firefox, the given indication of focus for keyboard navigation is a box with thin grey dashed line as shown in the last screenshot pictured on the left (‘Search’ button). It is subtle and difficult to visually determine where the keyboard focus is on. This makes navigation especially difficult for keyboard depended sighted users. Also the link ‘2019’ on agendas page have thin red dashed line that is difficult to visually discern. On the indication of focus is clearer with blue solid line. However, the indication still does not provide enough contrast with its background especially given that Salem MA website largely consists of dark blue themed interface. Recommendation Highlight elements that have keyboard focus with clear bold indicator that is apparent so users can easily figure out which element has focus. The contrast ratio between the focus indicator and adjacent colors must be at least 3:1. See techniques suggested by W3: Low-vision, 65+, Brain-based, Dexterity limitations WCAG 2.1 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast 2.4.7 Focus Visible 2. General Content Main Menu Accessibility Background Navigation order on a website should be logical and intuitive, especially for users relying on a keyboard for navigation. Menus should be labeled as such for those using a screen reader to understand the function of the encountered content. Improperly labeled UI elements may cause screen reader users to not interact with the element as intended and/or miss content, causing frustration and/or disorientation. Information should be presented consistently across the site to aid user navigation. If a screen reader user is forced to move through a submenu before encountering the next menu title, this could cause frustration, as all the content in the submenu would have to be read before arriving at the next menu. Additionally, moving through submenus to reach the next menu increases the number of keystrokes needed to bypass the content, creating issues for those with dexterity impairments. Blind, Low-vision, 65+, Brain- based, Dexterity limitations WCAG 2.1 1.3.1 Info and Relationships 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence 1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus 2.4.3 Focus Order 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem, MA, Website Accessibility and Usability Analysis Prepared by www.IHCDesign.org 5 Image Section Issue Name Issue Details Issue Tags Users who navigate with a trackpad or mouse should be able to explore expanded content fully without it disappearing so users are not disoriented. This is especially important for users with dexterity impairments, including those who may have a tremor and might accidentally dismiss content while navigating. Current The main navigation bar contains five, and sometimes six collapsible menus (About, City Government, Boards/Committees, For Businesses, Online Services, and sometimes Experience Salem) are labeled as links, though they function as drop- down menus. When the page is zoomed in or condensed, the menu is changed to an accordion menu style, with “>Click for Menu<” accordion menu, and all of the navigation accordion menus it contains, also labeled as links. When in the standard navigation bar view, users navigating with a keyboard cannot move to the next navigation menu category without going through all the content within the current menu. Once these menus are expanded either by keyboard focus or mouse hover, they cannot be dismissed with the escape key as is expected. When zoomed into the screen and the menu expands, it does not always display the full submenu content. Scrolling down while the menu is expanded to view the rest of the content will dismiss the expanded menu entirely, which is unexpected and disorienting. The Experience Salem menu is inconsistently a part of the main navigation menu depending on the level of zoom on the webpage. When it’s combined with the navigation menu, it doesn’t function as a drop-down menu like the other menu items. When it appears separate from the navigation menu bar, removing mouse hover from the Experience Salem menu makes it disappears immediately, which inhibits users with tremors or other dexterity impairments who many involuntarily move the mouse away from the content from viewing the menu content. Recommendation Menus should be given proper ARIA labels to describe the type, function, and state (e.g. expanded and collapsed) of the interactive item. Submenu content should only be encountered once a menu is interacted with (e.g. when the enter button is hit). Allow users to dismiss expanded submenus with a keyboard mechanism, such as hitting the escape button. Allow menus to remain open when they receive mouse hover, including when users scrolls down the page while mouse hover remains within the menu. Consider allowing menus to be expanded for a few seconds even when mouse hover is removed. 3. General Content Tabbing Order Background When users navigate sequentially through content, they should encounter information in an order that is consistent with the meaning of the content and can be operated from the keyboard. This reduces confusion by letting users form a consistent mental model of the content. Blind, Low-vision, Dexterity limitations 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence 2.4.3 Focus Order ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem, MA, Website Accessibility and Usability Analysis Prepared by www.IHCDesign.org 6 Image Section Issue Name Issue Details Issue Tags Menu content should first be expanded by the user in order to move through the submenu content. This prevents frustration for screen reader users, who would otherwise have each submenu item read before getting to the next menu title. It also helps those with dexterity issues by not using as many keystrokes to get to the intended content, preventing pain, fatigue, and/or frustration. Current The interactive tabs present an unintuitive navigation order. The tabpanel on the Home page forces keyboard users to navigate through all the tab options before interacting with the content within each tabpanel. When a tab is interacted with using a keyboard, the expectation is to get access to the information within the tabpanel, rather than be forced through the rest of the tabs first Recommendation Tabbing order and keyboard navigation should follow a logical order. When a user expands content, the focus should move into the content. 4. General Content Improperly Labeled Content Background All user interface components should provide programmatically associated name, role and states. Assistive technology users, such as those who use screen magnifiers and screen readers, rely on these attributes to understand and interact with various dynamic user interface components. Incorrectly labeled content results in confusion, missed content, and frustration. Current Many UI components have incorrect labels. For example, Each of the tabs on the tabpanel menu “Mayor’s Welcome, News, Twitter, Calendars, Popular Pages” is labeled as tabs but also incorrectly as a list links. When the webpage is condensed, different types of menus change into accordion menus (e.g. the tabpanel menu “Mayor’s Welcome, News, Twitter, Calendars, Popular Pages”). While appearing as an accordion menu, the “Mayor’s Welcome…” menu retains the same ARIA labeling as its tabpanel menu form. Other accordion menus across the site are also labeled as links, such as “View Contact Info” that appears on Board/Committee pages. These accordion menus are lacking ARIA states that inform the user if the accordion menus have been expanded or condensed. Some content on the site is organized as a list with one item (e.g. “Mayor’s Office” in the City Government drop down menu and “Login” in the Footer). Recommendation Dynamic user interface components should have proper ARIA labels to describe the type, function and state (e.g. opened, expanded, etc.) of the interactive item. Blind, Low-vision WCAG 2.1 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem, MA, Website Accessibility and Usability Analysis Prepared by www.IHCDesign.org 7 Image Section Issue Name Issue Details Issue Tags Lists with one item should be changed to non-list links or grouped with similar content when appropriate. 5. General Content Undescriptive Link Text Background Users navigating a webpage with a screen reader rely on descriptive link text to understand the purpose and function of the content. When link titles are unspecific, screen reader users are unable to find the information they are searching for. Link text of each link should be purposeful so that users can decide whether they want to follow the link. Whenever possible, a page must provide link text that identifies the purpose of the link without needing additional context. Many screen reader users navigate by pulling up a list of links on a webpage. Descriptive link text is extremely important to users who navigate with this list of links. Current There are multiple undescriptive links text are encountered in the website. This is especially an issue on the search page and department Minutes and Agenda pages, where undescriptive link titles are presented repetitively. For example, link text such as “here” and “View All” don’t fully communicate their purposes without the context. This lack of clarity affects all users across the spectrums of age and ability, and especially confuses screen reader users who are blind or have low vision. Recommendations Links in the website must be understood independent of the context where possible. For example, it is recommended to say, ‘View more News and Announcements’ rather than ‘View All’. Blind, Low-vision WCAG 2.1 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) 6. General Content Skip to Main Content Background Screen reader users rely on ‘skip to main content’ link to reach the main content without having to go through the repetitive navigational information such as main menu bar. ‘Skip to main content’ link should always be the first interactive element on a web page in order to preserve its operability. This is important for screen reader users, as it prevents users from having to hear contents repetitively every time they land on a new page. It also benefits users with dexterity conditions who navigate with a keyboard and may experience pain due to repetitive keystrokes. Users with low vision or color vision deficiencies depend on high contrast text to distinguish and read text on a webpage. Failure to provide sufficient color contrast creates a huge access barrier for sighted users that rely on the use of keyboards. ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem, MA, Website Accessibility and Usability Analysis Prepared by www.IHCDesign.org 8 Image Section Issue Name Issue Details Issue Tags This includes older users, users with dexterity impairments, users with some brain- based conditions, and users with low vision. Current The ‘Skip to main content’ link is encountered in an inconsistent order whenever a user lands on a new web page. The link text ‘Skip to main content’ is overprinted on an image background. As the background image has different colors, the contrast between the text and the image background is insufficient in some cases. Recommendation Ensure that the ‘Skip to main content’ link is first element encountered by keyboard users in every time a user lands in a new page. Present the link text on a solid background. Ensure that the link text has at least 4.5:1 contrast for small text and at least 3:1 contrast for large text to its background. IHCD recommends the Paciello Group’s Color Contrast Analyzer: 7.

General Content Headings Background Headings are extremely important for a variety of users navigating webpage content. For screen reader users, headers provide an important hierarchy which helps them make sense of a website and find what they are looking for with relative ease. Descriptive headers allow users to understand how content is grouped and what to expect under each heading level. Good and consistent header hierarchy provides organization to a page that can aid visual focus and reduce anxiety or stress for users with some brain-based conditions. In addition, it can also increase the ease with which non-native tech users can interact with content. All headings should be visible or have associated visible content. Current Not all headings aid in site navigation or structural mental imagining. To begin, many headings have uninformative title headings (e.g.

Ensure that headings that are contained within other h-tags follow an accurate header hierarchy. Ensure that headings are not being used just to format the style of text. Heading tags should be kept independent of other lines of, as it makes it nonfunctional for users navigating with headings and does not follow best practices for clean coding. Consider having a heading as a title for the content it presents, such as “Social Media (Links)” as a heading for the two links social media links. Heading names should be descriptive and unique (i.e. no repetition of heading names on the same page). Headings should also have a corresponding visual element, or if it’s being hidden because it isn’t supposed to be interacted with (e.g.

General Content Unable to Dismiss Content Background Where receiving and then removing pointer hover or keyboard focus triggers additional content to become visible and then hidden, the additional content must remain visible until the hover or focus trigger is removed. Content that cannot be dismissed, either by removing mouse hover or utilizing a keyboard mechanism, can disorient older users and users with some brain-based conditions. Current The drop-down navigation bar menus cannot be dismissed with the escape key or other keyboard method. When a calendar event list is opened upon hover, such as in calendar widgets or on the month view of the Calendar page, it is not dismissed when the user removes hover. During testing, screen reader and screen magnifier users encountered this content when not intended and were unable to dismiss it. Brain-based, 65+ WCAG 2.1 1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem, MA, Website Accessibility and Usability Analysis Prepared by www.IHCDesign.org 10 Image Section Issue Name Issue Details Issue Tags Recommendation Allow users to a way to dismiss expanded submenus with a keyboard mechanism, such as hitting the escape button. Content and the trigger no longer receiving mouse hover should be dismissed when mouse hover is removed. Additionally, repositioning of the content displayed so other site information isn’t blocked can help users. 9. General Content Inaccessible Content Background Keyboards and keyboard alternatives are used by blind, low vision, and dexterity impaired users to navigate and interact with web content. All content on a website must be accessible through keyboards and keyboard alternatives. Current The calendars on the search page cannot be accessed with the keyboard. The Calendar widget on the Home page in the Calendar tab panel has no way to allow users to access the quick view event pop up that appears on mouse hover. This quick view event pop up is also inaccessible on the Calendar page. Additionally, the “Share” icon is inconsistently accessible with the keyboard; only on some web pages can the button be navigated to using the keyboard. When using Firefox, the icon cannot be interacted with using the keyboard or a mouse or trackpad. Recommendation Ensure all website content is accessible with a keyboard. Blind, Low-vision, Dexterity limitations WCAG 2.1 2.1.1 Keyboard 10 . Search Page Unlabeled Form Fields Background Effective form element labels are required to make forms accessible.

Users testing these form fields were unsure of their purpose due to the lack of labeling and thus chose not to utilize them. Recommendation Programmatically associate a descriptive label to each of the form elements. 11 . Search Page Undescriptive Form Labels Background The labels should help users understand information contained in a page. Clear and descriptive labels allow users to find the information they seek and interact with user interfaces properly. Current The three date range search filters on the Search page have vague text labels. They do not sufficiently describe the purpose of the form fields. Recommendation Use descriptive labels that can be understood by all users. Labels should be succinct while also providing enough instruction that clearly communicates the form field’s purpose to the user. Add a heading to the top of the filter section for users to identify the purpose of this section. Consider replacing form labels such as “and” with more descriptive labels to prevent added confusion. Blind, Low-vision, 65+, Brain-based WCAG 2.1 2.4.6 Headings and Labels 12 . Search Page Indistinct Search Button and Form Fields Background The proper coding practice of ensuring elements and user interfaces have unique ID attribute labels and ARIA ID labels ensures that websites will function as intended. Duplication of such labels causes elements of a website to become inaccessible. Additionally, having unique ID labeling allows screen reader users to differentiate the purpose of similar user interface components. Current The ARIA ID labels for the search button in the Header and the search button on the search page are the same. The Keywords form field for the Header and the one on the search page (the “advanced” search) are also the same. Recommendation Ensure ID attribute values and ARIA ID labels are unique.

Search Page Error Messages and Programmaticall y Shifting Focus Background Form elements that require a specific format, such as Start and End dates on the Calendar page, must provide formatting information within the form label. Additionally, in cases where errors occur, the error message must be clear and accessible. Interacting with the error message should programmatically shift focus to the erroneous element so the user can correct the error and resubmit the form. Current The Start date and End date form fields on the filter for the Search page (i.e. Created Between” and “And”) do not have instruction on the accepted date format before or within the form field. Inputting other date formats present errors, but users are not informed of what is expected of them prior to the interaction. Error messages encountered on both the Search and Calendar pages, but also many others, are confusing and use ambiguous language to explain what the issue is and how to correct it. focus does not programmatically shift to the error message, leaving users unaware that they have encountered any error. Upon interaction, focus does not shift to the form field with erroneous content as it should to ensure an intuitive user experience. Furthermore, incorrect input formats are automatically corrected to content that users are not made aware of, and their search results are then based on those corrected inputs. For example, the date fields on the search filter automatically correct to the present day if a user inputs a date that does not match their expected format, and the search results are then not what the user expected. This is extremely disoriented for users who are blind and rely on screen readers, as they have no reasonable means of knowing whether they can proceed and can no longer navigate independently. Recommendation Provide valid date formatting in any Start date and End date form fields. Ensure that the format provided is consistent with the accepted input for the relevant form fields (e.g. MM/DD/YYYY). Rather than automatically changing an incorrect date format the current date, the user should be presented with a descriptive error message, specifying what is wrong and how to correct it, and focus should then be programmatically shifted to the form field that needs to be corrected.

Additionally, there are insufficient or incorrect suggestions on how to fix some types of errors encountered, such as spelling errors and certain date range mistakes. This put the on the user to navigate to, identify, and correctly change the incorrect information. This is also a significant concern for some users with brain-based disabilities, for whom the lack of logical and intuitive status messages can be confusing and lead to negative user experiences. Recommendation Ensure that users receive appropriate auditory feedback and suggestions for correction when they submit their input. ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem, MA, Website Accessibility and Usability Analysis Prepared by www.IHCDesign.org 14 Image Section Issue Name Issue Details Issue Tags 15 . General Content Status Messages Background Changes in webpage content due to a user’s action, such as submitting a form, should invoke a message to inform screen reader users about the status of their action without experiencing any unexpected changes in focus. Current There are inconsistencies in the delivery of status messages. For instance, there are no status success messages to, which can be disorienting, especially for users who rely on screen readers to navigate webpages. Not all error status messages are announced, such as anytime a search does not turn up search results. The lack of status messages makes users unaware of whether their action has been executed, leaving users confused and unsure of how to proceed. Recommendation When users interact with website content, especially form fields and other input elements, a status message should be provided to confirm that their action was successful, or to relay an error with information about how to rectify that error. Lack of status messages means users are left without context for what they are experiencing and often means they can no longer navigate independently and get equal access to information.

General Content Inaccessible Calendar Functionality Background The meaning derived from the content formatting (i.e. presenting dates in a calendar) must be preserved when the content is rendered through different sensory modalities. For example, when contents are in table format, the relationships of cells sharing the same column or row must be communicated using a screen reader. Current The links of the dates in calendars are placed in a table format. For screen reader users who are blind or low-vision, the links are neither self-explanatory from their link texts nor have any discernible ARIA label associated with them. As a result, the accessible name that is read out using a screen reader is indiscernible. For example, with NVDA on Firefox, the link reads, “row two T column six one link”. Users experienced confusing when navigating calendars, especially when trying to determine the day of the week, as both Tuesday and Thursday are labeled in the calendar as The placeholder values don’t serve the purpose as they don’t indicate the date each link is associated to. The calendar doesn’t let screen reader users specify which date they are browsing through, making the navigation within the calendar very challenging. Recommendation Ensure that all links have accessible names to let users have context for the elements they are interacting with. The dates of the month should not just read as, “2”…nor read out the placeholder values of the table. They should be read as “Thursday August one” or something similar. ARIA labels can be used to achieve this. Blind, Low-Vision WCAG 2.1 AA 2.4.4 Link Purpose 17 . Downloadable Documents Images of Text as PDF Background Images of text cannot be rendered through screen readers making the content inaccessible for the screen reader users. PDF files should be text documents rather than images of text. Current Multiple PDF files found across the Salem MA website, including ‘Parking ticket hearing request’, ‘Marriage Certificate’, ‘Dog License’, and ‘Claim Form’, are scanned images of original paper documents. Some of these documents are scanned with poor contrast that they don’t meet the contrast ratio requirement. There are also cases where the poor scan quality cuts out certain parts of the document. Example to this can be found in the PDF file ‘Waste Oil’ in the website. Recommendation Ensure all documents are uploaded in a format that is accessible with screen readers.

Downloadable Documents and Forms Inaccessible PDFs Background Screen reader is an assistive technology widely used by people with low vision, blind people, people with dexterity impairments, or people with some brain-based conditions. PDF documents must be rendered through screen readers accurately to make them accessible to all users. Many screen reader users use keyboard to navigate through documents. Hence, PDF files must respond to keyboard functions by providing meaningful headings and clear visual focus that indicates element with keyboard focus. Current Multiple PDF documents on the website have screen reader and keyboard navigation issues. Following is a list of a few readability errors on some PDF documents on the website: • Special characters used for visual decorative purposes gets read out by screen reader. This confuses users who can’t access the content visually. For example, the symbol provided in the text below reads as ‘black diamond’. o Special characters or icons that contain meanings gets read out in a way that doesn’t communicate their functions. For example, o check boxes read as ‘white square’ in JAWS and doesn’t read at all in NVDA. o check marks read as ‘square root’ in both JAWS and NVDA. o Underlines indicating form fields are composed of mutiple dashes. So in JAWS the read as ‘dash dash dash…’. This is especially problematic as the underlines require multiple keystrokes to bypass. With NVDA they are read as lines. o Asterisks are used as barriers between texts. The barrier is read in three parts where ‘star’ is said twenty two times, twenty three times, and then fifteen times. • In some documents the screen reader does not read the text in a logical sequence. For example, there are instances where the focus moves from footer to the top of the document or from page number to text upon interaction. • Many PDF documents provided in the website don’t have headings or have heading names that do not assist users with efficient navigation.

• The texts given in the PDF are read in a sporadic manner. There are instances where screen reader pauses after reading a word, a few words that doesn’t form a sentence, or part of a word. Furthermore, acronyms or other abbreviations are not recognized by screen reader, causing them to be read incorrectly. Also the punctuations that should be ignored (such as period or coma) are read out. This causes frustration and confusion to users trying to understand an information provided. It also causes extra unnecessary keystrokes to go through the content. For example, o The word established reads ‘establish – hed’, capital trust reads ‘Capital T rust’, therefore reads ‘Therefo re’, further reads ‘Furthe for reads ‘fo and name reads ‘n ame’) o The name Tom Daniel reads ‘T O M Daniel’ with NVDA on Chrome, and ’Capital T, O M, Capital D, aneil’ with NVDA on Firefox. o ‘2nd ‘ reads as ‘2 ND’ and ‘4th’ reads as ‘4 TH’ with NVDA o MAYOR is not recognized as a word, so each letter is read out separately. o 2019 is read as ’20 19’ o Unit(s) is read as “Unit S” in NVDA o The form labels are read together as if they were words in a same line forming a sentence without specifying form fields to be field out when using NVDA on Chrome. For example, ▪ Text in the screen shot above is read ‘employer address’ ▪ Text in the screen shot above is read ‘tenant name co-tenant name’ ▪ Text in the screen shot above is read ‘we may may not contact your present employer’ ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem, MA, Website Accessibility and Usability Analysis Prepared by www.IHCDesign.org 19 Image Section Issue Name Issue Details Issue Tags o Phone numbers are not recognized. ‘[PHONE REDACTED]’ reads as ‘Nine hundred seventy eight dash, six hundred nineteen, minus five thousand six hundred thirty’ with NVDA on Firefox o Bold words are read separately with NVDA on Firefox. • In many cases the visual indicator is not in with the actual focus with NVDA on Chrome. • PDF files have undescriptive names. Since the file names are first thing read out when a document is loaded, they should be made clear and representative of the content. Following are some examples to inappropriate file names. o hearingrequestform.pdf for ‘Parking Ticket Hearing Request’ o SKM_C36818071110550.pdf for ‘Claim Form document name’ o Layout 1 for ‘parking pass application’ o CITY OF SALEM for ‘Birth Certificate’ and ‘Death Certificate’ • The images of maps provided in PDF format do not specify as images nor have alternative texts identifying them. Moreover, the street names present in the maps are read out of the visual context they were given confusing the users that are accessing the content via screen reader. These are the examples of PDF files that include these images of maps o ‘Low to Moderate Income Areas’ o ‘Wards’ o ‘Voting areas’ • In PDF files tables read in an order of left to right and top to bottom without specifying the column headings. This sequence doesn’t preserve the relationship between the information as presented in the table format. • There are two Absentee Ballot Applications making it unclear which should be filled out o application_-_english.pdf o http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/elepdf/absentee/English-Absentee- Ballot-Application.pdf • Many PDF documents in the website utilizes all capital letters. This makes users with low vision hard discern words. Recommendation All texts must be read accurately when they are rendered through a screen reader. The underscores (dashes) used to create visual effect of empty form field must communicate their purposes appropriately when they are rendered through a screen reader. Best practice is to provide interactive PDF forms that does not require multiple dashes. ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem, MA, Website Accessibility and Usability Analysis Prepared by www.IHCDesign.org 20 Image Section Issue Name Issue Details Issue Tags Ensure any decorative elements that consists of special characters or icons are implemented in a way that can be ignored by screen readers. Ensure the visual focus and the actual keyboard focus are Ensure the PDF documents have file names that are representative of their content. The document titles can be used for this. For example, ‘hearingrequestform.pdf’ can have a file name ‘Parking Ticket Hearing Request.pdf’ Inaccessible maps must have appropriate alternative text to let blind users or users with low-vision to be able to identify them. The street names in the images must be implemented in a way that can be ignored by screen reader so that users are not confused trying to process random information out of context. Most importantly there must be alternative content that can be rendered through auditory modality that makes the information in the image accessible to users who can’t process them visually. Ensure each table cell is read in a way that describes the category it belongs to. See Table Example from W3: Eliminate any redundant PDF documents present in the website. Do not use all caps unless it is necessary. 19 . General Content Indiscernible Link Text Background When activating a link leads to changes in context, changes that are made must be predictable to users. Changes in context can confuse users who do not easily perceive the change or are easily distracted by changes including users with low vision or users with some brain-based disabilities. Current Some PDF links provided in the website that open in a new window, open a new tab, or automatically downloads the file do not communicate this to users through either visual or auditory means. For example, - ‘Electrical permit application’ opens in a new tab. - ‘Claim form Under Legal Department’ automatically downloads the file. Major changes made without user awareness disorient users who are not able to view or access the content of the entire page simultaneously.

General Content Visual Focus Background Visual focus should always match the content being read by a screen reader. The focus indicator should be clear, distinct, and easily identifiable on a web page to minimize strain and effort for users to discern where on a web page they are and what content they are interacting with. Current When navigating web pages on the website, the visual focus indicator is often out of sync with the content being parsed by the screen reader (specifically NVDA). The disconnect between the two is especially disorienting to users with low-vision, for whom the screen reader is intended to be a tool that aids navigation. When the visual focus indicator is it eventually causes more confusion and hinders navigation for the user. When navigating with Jaws, there is no visual focus indicator to identify where on the screen focus is. Recommendation Ensure that visual focus corresponds with the site content being read by the screen reader across all pages and when navigating with any screen reader. The consistency across web pages, browsers, and screen readers is important to ensure equal access to information for all users across the spectrums of age and ability. Low-vision 21 . General Content Unexpected Link Behavior Background Unexpected new tabs or windows are very disorientating for assistive tech users and often confusing for non-native tech users. It should be clear when users are directed out of the site. Current Email links across the site open on the native mail app on the device. This is very unexpected and confusing behavior and many users, especially older, non-native technology users, and users with brain-based disabilities have difficulties undoing this action and returning to the previous page. Many links direct the user to out of site content or to other unexpected locations. For example: City Electrician State Permit Fee on the Forms and Documents page brings users to an external website without prior notice. Some content that appears to be a link to another site page, such as the SafeLink Wireless link on the Commission for Disabilities page directs the user to a PDF. There is no announcement when the content the user interacts with will open a new page or window. Blind, Low-vision, 65+, Brain-based WCAG 2.1 3.2 Understandable ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem, MA, Website Accessibility and Usability Analysis Prepared by www.IHCDesign.org 22 Image Section Issue Name Issue Details Issue Tags Recommendation Links should always clearly signify their content, purpose, and if and where users will be directed out of the site to the new content. ARIA labels and icons can be provided to help screen reader users and other users when they will be directed to a new site, a pdf, or if a link will open in a new tab or window. Consider providing an email address that users can use instead of a link that automatically sends user to an email app. 22 . General Content Keyboard Trap Background Widgets that add iFrames with continuous or long scrolling content become a keyboard trap for many users. For example, a keyboard-dependent user who is navigating the page must tab persistently to bypass the content. Not only is this frustrating for screen reader users, but it also causes problems for users with dexterity issues, who may experience pain due to numerous key strokes or find it difficult to perform the number of key strokes it takes to move beyond the trapping iFrame. Also, those who use screen magnification often get caught in these types of iFrames, scrolling through the iFrame rather than scrolling down the webpage as intended. Current The social media widgets on the home page (i.e. Facebook and Twitter) have long scrolling iFrames which trap users, requiring numerous keystrokes to move out of the iFrame with no indication of when they will exit that iFrame. This quickly becomes frustrating for many users and they often tend to give up or seek help, unable to continue navigating independently. Recommendation Limit the number of items that appear in iFrame widgets and always provide a header or other mechanisms to allow users an easy way to bypass this content. Blind, Low-vision, 65+, Dexterity limitations WCAG 2.1 2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap 23 . General Content Color Contrast Background Users with low vision or older users depend on high contrast text to distinguish and read text on a webpage. Current Much of the text throughout the website has a contrast ratio below 4.5:1. Some examples of text that does not meet criteria included: • Home page- “Skip to Main Content” link and “Powered by Google Translate” have inconsistent and often times insufficient color contrast due to the changing home page background image. • Home page- Headings in “Experience Salem” pop up menu “Art & History!”): 3.7:1 • Footer content- “Login” link on color gradient: 3.2:1 Low-vision, 65+ WCAG 2.1 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem, MA, Website Accessibility and Usability Analysis Prepared by www.IHCDesign.org 23 Image Section Issue Name Issue Details Issue Tags • Search page- “Created Between” form format example 10/11/19): 2.8:1 • Employment Opportunities page- Orange text: 2.3:1 • Pay Bills Online page – “Free”: 3.8:1 • Pay Bills Online page- Green text on white background: 3.4:1 • Calendar page- Days of the week: 3.9:1 • Calendar page- Time of Events: 4.4:1 • Calendar page- Dates of days with events: 4.0:1 • Calendar page- Dates of a different month: 1.5:1 • Calendar page- Multi-day event names: 2.6:1 Recommendation Ensure the contrast ratio between text and the background is at least 4.5:1 and at least 3:1 for large text. Text backgrounds with varying color contrast (such as images or color gradients) should be fixed so all content on the background has a sufficient color contrast. 24 . General Content Color Contrast I Pseudo Classes Background Users with low vision or older users depend on high contrast link text to distinguish and read link text on a webpage. This text should also be high contrast for different pseudo classes, such as focus and hover. Current Link text across the website often lightens when it receives mouse hover, which in some areas creates an insufficient color contrast. Examples of link text that does not meet criteria include: • Home page- Navigation bar items: 1.6:1 • Home page- “FAQs” in “Salem Action Center”: 3.3:1 • Footer content- “here” link on color gradient: 2.8:1 • Footer content- “Login” link on color gradient: 2.1.1 • Calendar page- Calendar view buttons (e.g. “Week”): 1.9:1 Recommendation Ensure the contrast ratio between link text on hover and the background is at least 4.5:1 and 3:1 for large text. Areas containing gradients with varying color contrast should be fixed so that all link content receiving mouse hover on the gradient has a sufficient color contrast.

General Content User Interface Contrast Background Users with low vision or older users depend on interfaces and graphics with high contrast to distinguish and understand these elements on a webpage.

User testing confirmed that the contrast between the interior of the interfaces and the surrounding areas was not high enough to distinguish the interface from the site background, which prevented search box utilization. The changing background images provide inconsistent and insufficient contrast. In the examples shown, contrast ranges from: 1) 1.2:1 - 1.3:1 2) 1.0:1 - 2.5:1 3) 1.0:1 - 2.4:1, very few areas are 3.1:1 - 3.4:1 4) 1.0:1 - 2.4:1 Recommendation Ensure that the contrast ration of the interface content to the background content is at least 3:1. 26 . General Content Indistinguishable Link Text Background Color is often utilized to convey different types of information. Users with low-vision, older users, and users with color vision deficiencies are often unable to differentiate color differences. Current Across the site, links appear dark red in color. These links have a 1.2:1 color contrast ration when compared to the surrounding text (8.5:1 (link text) and 9.7:1 (regular text)). User testing confirmed that the current appearance of links is indistinguishable from the surrounding text for some users. Unable to find the link described by the website, users could not find the information they were looking for and gave up on the task at hand. A few of the examples presented were found on the: • Shopping/Dining/Culture page • View Contact Info accordion menus (on many pages) • Recycling and Trash page • Home page Calendar links • Pay Bills Online page Recommendation Links must have a color contrast ratio of 3:1 in relation to the surrounding text. The contrast color still must have a 4.5:1 contrast with the background. Underlining link text in addition to changing the color ensures users can identify links.

General Content Alternative Text Background Links with same purpose must have same accessible name. When links with identical purposes have different accessibly names, it causes confusion and unnecessary extra keystrokes. This especially effects screen reader users who are blind, have low-vision, or have brain-based conditions. Graphics used for decorative purposes should be ignored by screen readers so that users are not confused with unnecessary information. Current The webpage has sets of visual link and the adjacent link text that have same target. However, they are put as separate links and have different accessible name. For example, in the screenshot provided, the image of the visual link in the screen shot has an alternative text ‘Halloween’ while the adjacent link text that has same target page says, ‘City of Salem Announces Downtown Road Closures for Halloween’. Recommendation Best practice is to combine the link text and the visual link to make a single link. See W3’s ‘H2: Combining adjacent image and text links for the same resource’ to see how this can be done: 20140311/H2 If this is not possible, ensure that the visual links must be implemented in a way that they can be ignored by screen readers. 28 . General Content Unnecessary Decorative Content Background Link text should be clear and descriptive. It is not recommended to use special characters in the link text as the characters can be inaccurately interpreted using different user agents including assistive technologies such as screen readers. Current The link text in the image pictured on the left reads as ‘greater click for menu less link’ and ‘plus link view all’. This causes confusion to the users that can’t access the text visually. Recommendation Eliminate the special characters from the link text and substitute them with graphics or icons. Otherwise, provide appropriate information to screen reader users by using accessible names. When special characters are substituted with decorative Blind, Low-Vision WCAG 2.1 AA 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) ---PAGE BREAK--- Salem, MA, Website Accessibility and Usability Analysis Prepared by www.IHCDesign.org 26 Image Section Issue Name Issue Details Issue Tags graphics, implement the graphics in a way that it can be ignored by assistive technologies.
