An Accessibility Task Force is forming at RVUUF, to ensure that everyone is truly a welcome member of this beloved community. This will be a separate group from the busy Buildings, Aesthetics, and Grounds, but the two groups will consult together as needed. It is an ad-hoc task force, forming to achieve accessibility upgrades to RVUUF’s main building.

The Task Force will conduct a “needs assessment” of RVUUF’s main building, explore feasibility, steps, costs, legal (ADA, local) requirements for upgrading, compile a “wish list” of upgrades, prioritize them, present them to the RVUUF congregation along with recommendations, facilitate decision-making, engage a contractor and oversee construction of upgrades.

(Two suggested preliminary priorities are: bathroom access (larger doors in the hall) and curb access and painted curb. City of Ashland engineering technician Kevin Golden met on-site at RVUUF on Sept. 14, and provided information and structural recommendations for curb access in front.)
