Coral Springs encourages residents and business owners to help report sidewalk accessibility challenges across the city
Coral Springs, Florida – City officials are inviting residents, business owners, and anyone who uses public walkways to take part in an important discussion about sidewalk accessibility in Coral Springs. A public meeting is scheduled for Wednesday from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at City Hall, and community feedback will play a key role in shaping future improvements.
The meeting is part of the city’s ongoing ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan, a project focused on identifying physical barriers along city-owned sidewalks that may limit access for people with disabilities. The initiative is designed to help Coral Springs become more inclusive by making pedestrian infrastructure safer and easier to navigate for everyone.
“The ADA Transition Plan is an important initiative that reflects our commitment to an inclusive community,” said City Manager Catherine Givens in a statement. “Public input is vital to help us better understand the needs of our residents and prioritize improvements.”
The plan is being funded by Broward County’s Mobility Advancement Program (MAP), which uses Surtax dollars to enhance local transportation and infrastructure. Although the city has not released specific figures on how much money will be dedicated to the ADA improvements, the program’s goal is clear: ensure sidewalks are accessible to all, regardless of physical ability.
Residents are encouraged to attend the meeting and share personal experiences or challenges they’ve encountered while using Coral Springs sidewalks. This input will help city staff identify problem areas and determine where to focus upgrades and repairs.
Officials say that feedback from the meeting will directly influence long-term plans to remove accessibility barriers throughout the city. This includes installing curb ramps, fixing uneven pavement, widening walkways, and making other changes that bring the city into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
People who are unable to attend in person can still contribute by submitting comments online at www.coralsprings.gov/forum.
City leaders emphasize that every voice matters in this process. By working together, the community can help make Coral Springs a more accessible, walkable, and welcoming place for all.
