Document Description
The proposed project would modify the paved pathway that serves as the path of travel between the accessible parking spaces in Parking Lot P003 and the Sumner Auditorium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) to make it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). One portion of the pathway would be reconstructed using the existing design and materials and another portion would be redesigned as a switchback to accommodate the grade. A total of 2,660 square feet of the paved pathway would be demolished and a total of 2,495 square feet of pathways would be constructed. All landscaped areas impacted by the modification and construction activities would be replanted with native and/or climate adaptive plantings.
