Working to Achieve ADA Compliance

At Tuesday's Common Council meeting, Linda Mussmann asked about the "metal object" in front of City Hall. She was referring to this, installed in front of the no longer used night deposit box. (City Hall was constructed, after all, as a bank building.

The object will hold a call box that will allow people with disabilities that prohibit them from entering City Hall to summon the person they need to see. It is part of the City's efforts to address ADA compliance issues in advance of making more substantial changes to City Hall to achieve ADA compliance or moving city offices to another location. 

On HudsonValley360 this afternoon, Amanda Purcell reports on a lawsuit brought against the City by three Hudson residents and the proposed agreement between the City and the federal government: "Hudson, AG near settlement of ADA lawsuit."
