The Stockbridge City Council voted at is Dec. 10 regular meeting to approve a self-evaluation and transition plan regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act’s Standards for Accessible Design.

The move was in response to a request in August from the Georgia Department of Transportation. City officials assessed all public buildings, activities, parks and streets for the development of a multi-year, multi-phase plan that includes design and maintenance specifications as well as grievance procedures for possible violations.

State officials had requested that the final approval of the plan be submitted no later than Dec. 31.
