Justice Department Reaches Agreement with City and County of Denver to Improve Accessibility

January 18, 2018 • Jim Bostrom

Under the agreement, Denver will ensure that its services, programs, and activities are accessible to people with disabilities.  Based on surveys conducted by the United States as part of its investigation, the agreement requires Denver to remedy inaccessible features at courthouses, emergency shelters, libraries, parking lots, polling places, and parks to make these facilities accessible to persons with disabilities.  In addition, to improve communication with people with hearing disabilities, Denver will contract with sign language interpreters and use Relay Colorado and text-to-911 on calls.  Denver has also agreed to ensure that its emergency operations plan is accessible, to provide training to its employees on the ADA, and to survey certain facilities that were not already surveyed by the Department.
