Recently, the Northeast Indiana Regional Coordinating Council, an economic development consortium, undertook a study of Ossian's sidewalks to see how many of them comply with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, after Town Manager Luann Martin received an e-mail state that the federal government would start cracking down on communities that don't comply.
At the Monday, Sept. 24, Ossian Town Council meeting, NIRCC presented the following map. According to the key, the red and pink sidewalks are the worst. For instance, according to the study, a pink sidewalk has "multiple major problems, possibly impassible for wheelchairs." However, it hasn't been determined which sidewalks will be replaced or when, and the red and purple sidewalks might not be the first to be replaced due to a number of variables.
