SOMERTON, Ariz. (KYMA) – The City of Somerton is asking residents to help shape the future of local parks and programs by sharing their input on accessibility.
Officials recently held a community forum as part of their ADA transition plan. The meeting gave people a chance to talk about barriers they’ve noticed in parks, city buildings, and public programs.
Parks and Recreation Director James Jones says the city is trying to better understand what residents feel is missing or hard to access.
He says that feedback will help guide what improvements come first and how future projects are planned.
City leaders say they plan to keep gathering input as they work through the accessibility plan moving forward.
