Note: This summary is based on published meeting minutes.
What Happened
The Access Advisory Committee met on February 3, 2026, and approved plans to install accessible pedestrian signals at 58 Reno intersections.
Key Decisions
APPROVED — Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) installation at 58 intersections using CDBG funding ($275,756) — Unanimous — Committee members will also review three additional intersections (McCarran & Virginia Street, Virginia & Court Street, Lakeside & Plumas) for potential future upgrades.
Debated But Not Resolved
APS implementation details — Committee members discussed button height for wheelchair users and recommended using a male voice option for improved audibility in the signal system — These recommendations were incorporated into the approved motion and will guide installation.
What to Watch
$275,756 — Accessible Pedestrian Signals upgrades at 58 intersections — CDBG (Community Development Block Grant)
The committee directed city staff to evaluate three additional intersections for APS installation. Watch for a follow-up report on whether those three locations will be added to the upgrade list and any cost estimates.
