Settlement with Rapid City, South Dakota Continues Year of ADA's 25th Anniversary

The Justice Department today announced an agreement with Rapid City, South Dakota (City), to improve access to aspects of civic life for people with disabilities. The agreement was reached under Project Civic Access (PCA), the department's wide-ranging initiative to ensure that cities, towns and counties throughout the country comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Under the agreement, the City will take important steps to improve physical access for people with disabilities to the City's Rushmore Plaza Civic Center, such as providing: the appropriate number of accessible parking spaces adjacent to the various designated accessible entrances; seating and companion seating for wheelchair users, public restrooms, interior ramps, drinking fountains, and dressing rooms for performers with disabilities. For additional information about the Rapid City settlement, please visit the Justice department blog where we will highlight each month different ways that the ADA benefits people with disabilities.
