The City of Rehoboth is seeking public input for individuals with disabilities

3 comment boxes appear on the left side with words - Reach Out Rehoboth

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. – The City of Rehoboth Beach seeks public comment for its ADA transition plan.

The city invites organizations, stakeholders, and residents to share their concerns and suggestions about pedestrian accessibility. The construction firm JMT is set to complete the self-assessment.

Rehoboth Beach Assistant City Manager Evan Miller believes this will positively affect the area.

“It’s important to ensure that everything we offer is accessible to individuals with disabilities. It’s important because it’s not just identifying potential physical barriers, but also other barriers.”

Public comment through Reach Out Rehoboth is open through February 28.
