White markings can be found at the intersections of Willow Street, Carolyn and Glenn avenues and Camino Pablo where the ramps will be put in place.

"Potentially, the installation will start in August," said Tom Ferguson, the maintenance manager at the department of transportation.

Ferguson said the city is still finalizing the construction schedule, but Willow Street could have its ramps installed between August and October.

"We have to bid out the project," he said. "After that there is the award process, which will be sometime in July."

Larry Ames, a Willow Street resident who initially sent the locations to the department, said the idea was to make the whole street wheelchair accessible.

"I initially thought about the ramps because one of my neighbors, George Garabino, had an electric wheelchair, and he had to go onto the bike lane in order to get around," he said.

Though Garabino has since died, Ames said the area has a lot of elderly residents and young families who would benefit from the ramps.

Councilman Ken Yeager, whose district includes Willow Glen and the Rose Garden, said the city will install 51 wheelchair ramps in the area. Willow Glen fit the criteria used by the department of transportation because of its high pedestrian use, Yeager said.

"It is also an older part of the city and calls for curb cuts perhaps more than other areas," he said. "Newer parts of the city already have the curb cuts in place."
