Welcome to the City of Berwyn Accessibility Improvements Engagement Platform. The goal is to improve safety and accessibility for everyone who uses our sidewalks, including people with disabilities, and make our sidewalks and pedestrian facilities fully accessible to all individuals. Our aim is to develop a comprehensive Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) public right-of-way (PROW) transition plan that ensures that the transportation infrastructure, services, and programs within our municipality are fully accessible for all residents. If you or your loved ones use sidewalks in Berwyn, we need your help!
No one knows your community better than you, so we invite you to join us in this important effort.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Join the steering committee - EMAIL USif you are interested in being more involved.
Attend a meeting - Click on upcoming events on the right side to see upcoming meetings.
This plan will serve as a strategic roadmap for identifying and assessing barriers that currently impede accessibility on roads, sidewalks, crosswalks and other components of the public right-of-way. By integrating community feedback with detailed assessments, we will pinpoint specific challenges and develop practical, innovative solutions to enhance accessibility. These solutions will focus on the sidewalk sections that pose the greatest barrier to access in areas that are likely to receive high amounts of pedestrian activity.
Throughout the planning process there will be opportunities to provide feedback on the greatest challenges associated with traveling in your community and where you want to go, this will help establish a vision for the future of pedestrian travel around the city. Your input will help shape a more inclusive environment where everyone can participate and engage fully.
The planning process starts with a complete inventory of the existing sidewalks, curb ramps, bus stops, and traffic signals throughout the city. So don’t be surprised if you see us walking around over the next couple of months!
