Help Shape Paonia’s Accessibility Future: Two ADA Surveys Now Open

The Town of Paonia is inviting the community to take part in two important surveys that will help improve accessibility and inclusion throughout the town. As part of Paonia’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan, your input will guide how we identify and remove barriers in public spaces, streets, and services.

These surveys are a vital step in ensuring ADA compliance and building a more accessible, inclusive, and equitable community. Every response helps shape how Paonia prioritizes improvements to make our town safer and more welcoming for all residents and visitors.

A. Public Outreach Survey

The Town of Paonia is working to meet the goals of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and your input matters!

Take the Public Outreach Survey and help identify how the Town can make services, spaces, and communication more accessible for everyone.

It only takes a few minutes, and your feedback helps shape a more inclusive Paonia.

Visit the Town’s website (https://townofpaonia.colorado.gov/) and take the Public Outreach Survey today.

B. Public Right-of-Way (ROW) Needs Assessment Survey

Paonia is committed to making our sidewalks and public spaces accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Town needs your help.

Take the Public Right-of-Way Needs Assessment Survey and share your experiences with sidewalks, ramps, and crossings. Your feedback will guide where improvements are needed most.

Visit the Town’s website (https://townofpaonia.colorado.gov/) or social media pages to take the survey and help make Paonia accessible for all.
