IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO CIVIL ACTION NO. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) ) ALLRIGHT COLORADO, INC. ) ) Defendant. ) ) CONSENT AGREEMENT AND ORDER I. INTRODUCTION The United States has filed this action to enforce provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") against Allright Colorado, Inc. ("Allright") pursuant to 42 U.S.C.  12188(b)(1)(B). The complaint alleges that Allright violated title III of the ADA, 42 U.S.C.  12181-12189, and the Department of Justice implementing regulation 28 C.F.R. pt. 36. Specifically, the complaint alleges that Allright, which owns, leases or leases to, or operates over 100 parking lot facilities in Denver, Colorado, has failed to remove architectural barriers in these facilities where removal of such barriers is readily achievable, failed to modify policies, practices, and procedures, where such modifications are necessary to afford services and facilities to individuals with disabilities, and failed to maintain accessible features where such features existed. 42 U.S.C.  12182 and 28 C.F.R.  36.211, 36.302, and 36.304. In July, 1993, the Department advised Allright that it had found a pattern or practice of discrimination in its parking lot facilities and invited Allright to enter into a consent decree (to be filed simultaneously with the complaint) in order to correct the violations of the ADA. On August 11, 1993, the parties met in Washington, D.C. to discuss this matter and possible steps to remove existing architectural barriers in Allright's facilities. Since that time, Allright and the Department have engaged in good-faith negotiations in an effort to resolve this dispute expeditiously without resort to costly and protracted litigation. As the result of these discussions, Allright has voluntarily agreed to remove architectural barriers in its facilities and modify its policies, practices, or procedures in order to provide access to individuals with disabilities. Allright agrees to take the steps outlined in this Order to ensure that persons with disabilities have an opportunity equal to that of non-disabled persons to enjoy the goods and services of its parking facilities and that its policies, practices, and procedures do not discriminate on the basis of disability. II. AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES 1. This Court has jurisdiction of this action under 42 U.S.C.  12188(b)(1)(B) and 42 U.S.C.  1321 and 1345. - 2 - 2. Defendant Allright is a public accommodation within the meaning of title III of the ADA, 42 U.S.C.  12181(7)(F) and its implementing regulation at 28 C.F.R.  36.104. 3. The alleged conduct of the Defendant Allright described above has been alleged to violate title III of the ADA, 42 U.S.C.  12181 et seg., and its implementing regulation, 28 C.F.R. Part 36. 4. This agreement is final and binding on the parties to this action, including all principals, agents, and successors in interest of Defendant Allright. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED THAT: 1. Within 30 days of the entry of this Order, Allright shall establish, and submit to the Department of Justice for its review and approval, a policy for enforcement of the designated accessible parking restrictions in its lots. Such a policy shall establish guidelines for the timely identification and removal of all cars parked in designated accessible spaces that do not provide proper identification establishing the qualifications for such use. Such a policy shall be distributed to, and implemented by, all Allright lots and garages. The policy shall be articulated to all Allright parking attendants and shall be posted in all areas staffed by such employees. 2. Within 30 days of the entry of this Order, Allright shall provide the Department of Justice for its review and approval, a set of detailed blueprints or other illustrative - 3 - material displaying proposed modifications to remove all architectural barriers at their facilities (a list of all Allright facilities is enclosed as Attachment A). Such plans shall include the configuration of the existing lot, the total number of spaces in the lot, the proposed location of accessible parking spaces and the access aisles, the size of the proposed accessible spaces and access aisles, the existence of existing wheelchair ramps in sidewalks, and the location of the pedestrian exits of the lot. 3. Within 60 days of United States' approval of the proposed modifications submitted pursuant to paragraph 2, Allright shall restripe or otherwise reconfigure all parking lots and garages to provide the appropriate size and number of accessible spaces, including at least one van accessible space for every eight accessible spaces (but not less than one), in conformance with the Standards for Accessible Design 4.1.2(5)(a) and 4.1.2(5)(b). (Attachment B). The requirement that restriping occur within 60 days of United States' approval of the proposed modifications is subject to extension by written agreement of the Department of Justice and Allright in the event of delays in restriping due to adverse weather conditions in Denver. Unless the Department of Justice consents in writing to a different standard, the dimensions of all accessible parking spaces and access aisles shall be consistent with those expressly set forth in Attachment B. - 4 - 4. Allright shall give the highest priority to reconfiguring its surface lots and the lots that are exposed to the elements. 5. Upon the United States' approval of the proposed modifications submitted pursuant to paragraph 2 and at the time of restriping of the lots, Allright shall install the requisite signage complying with the Standards for Accessible Design, sections 4.1.2(5)(a), 4.1.2(5)(b) and 4.6. 6. Allright shall ensure that all accessible spaces are on the shortest possible accessible route to the pedestrian exit of the lot complying with the Standards for Accessible Design, section 4.6.2, unless the Department of Justice agrees in writing to another configuration. 7. Upon the United States' approval of the proposed modifications submitted pursuant to paragraph 2 and at the time of restriping of the lots, Allright shall ensure that all pay slots for all accessible spaces are within the accessible reach ranges as defined by the Standards for Accessible Design, sections 4.2.5, 4.2.6, and 4.27.3. This may be achieved by changing the placement of the numbers designating the accessible parking spaces. 8. Within 60 days of the entry of this Order, Allright shall establish a local phone number for use by any individual who wishes to lodge a complaint about accessibility problems including, but not limited to, the failure of Allright to remove - 5 - unqualified vehicles from designated accessible parking spaces. This phone number, with accompanying explanation for use, shall be printed at each entrance to the facility on the site sign or meter box. For a period of 18 eighteen months after the entry of this order, Allright shall report to the United States in writing, within 30 days of receipt, the nature of any complaint it receives and the action that was taken to remedy the complaint. 9. Within 60 days of the entry of this Order, Allright shall pay civil penalties in the amount of $20,000 to the United States Department of Justice. 10. Nothing in this Order shall prevent Defendant Allright from allocating, by terms of a lease or other contractual arrangement, the responsibility, as between itself and its lessees, for specific measures designed to comply with title III of the ADA as authorized by 28 C.F.R.  36.201(b). 11. This Order is only binding for the facilities of Allright Colorado. The Order does not limit the United State's ability to file suit or otherwise take enforcement action for violations of the ADA by other Allright subsidiaries or the Allright Corporation as a parent entity. 12. The parties shall attempt to negotiate a resolution of any dispute relating to the interpretation or implementation of this Order before bringing the matter to the Court's attention for resolution. - 6 - 13. The Court shall retain jurisdiction of this action to enforce the provisions of this Order for 18 months from its signing, after which time all of its provisions shall be terminated, unless the Court determines it is necessary to extend any of its requirements, in which case those specific requirements shall be extended. 14. This Order is limited to the facts set forth herein and it does not purport to remedy any other potential violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act or any other Federal law. This Order does not affect the continuing responsibility of Allright to comply with all aspects of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Specifically, this Order does not affect the duties of Allright with regard to the alterations and new construction requirements of the Act, nor with regard to barrier removal in any other part of any facility owned and/or operated by Allright, Allright Corporation, or any other Allright subsidiary not discussed herein.

Public Access Section Civil Rights Division U.S. Department of Justice PO Box 66738 Washington, DC 20035 Deputy Clerk Dated: January 7, 1994 Re: 94-C-64 Department of Justice FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CR THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1993 (202)616-2765 JUSTICE DEPARTMENT OBTAINS FIRST CIVIL PENALTY UNDER AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT Company To Pay $20,000 for Insufficient Accessible Parking Spaces WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In a move that sends a message to business owners across the country, the Justice Department today obtained an agreement for the payment of a $20,000 civil penalty from a Denver parking lot and garage company that failed to provide accessible parking. This is the first civil penalty imposed under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). A Justice Department investigation of Allright Colorado, Inc., which owns or operates over 100 parking lots and garages in Denver, revealed that most of these parking locations had inadequate accessible parking. The government also determined that Allright was initially aware of its obligations under the ADA yet failed to comply. "Today's agreement sends a clear message that the law requires businesses to provide parking that meets the needs of persons with disabilities - and we are enforcing it," said Acting Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights James P. Turner. (MORE) - 2 - "Providing accessible parking is readily achievable for most businesses, and in most cases all it requires is restriping the parking lot and installing signs." Today's agreement resolves a complaint filed with the Justice Department alleging that Allright violated title III of the ADA by failing to make its facilities accessible to persons with disabilities. Title III of the ADA requires public accommodations, like Allright parking facilities, to remove architectural barriers in existing facilities where such removal is readily achievable. The government today filed suit against Allright in U.S. District Court in Denver and simultaneously submitted for court approval the agreement to resolve the suit. Under the agreement, in addition to paying the $20,000 penalty, Allright will add well over 400 accessible parking spaces. The consent order will require Allright to restripe its parking lots to provide a requisite number of accessible spaces and access aisles, to install the appropriate signage for the accessible spaces, to provide a local phone number for complaints about accessibility problems, and to establish a policy for the prompt identification and removal of all cars that are improperly parked in those spaces. "We commend Allright for its cooperation in resolving the dispute without resorting to lengthy and costly litigation," Turner stated, "and we are pleased that Allright began taking (MORE) - 3 - remedial action to ensure the availability of accessible parking even before we reached the agreement." Allright's parking facilities serve employers, hotels, restaurants, retail stores, health care providers, places of entertainment, schools and colleges, among other entities. The ADA's Standards for Accessible Design establishes the specifications for and the number of accessible parking spaces that must be located in a parking facility. The number of accessible spaces required depends on the total number of parking spaces available. Parking lots of 25 spaces require 1 accessible spot, lots of 100 spaces require 4 accessible spots, and lots of 501-1,000 spaces require that 2% of the spaces be accessible. # # # 94-003 35612 Federal Register/Vol. 56, No. 144/Friday, July 26, 1991/ Rules and Regulations 4.1.2 Accessible Sites and Exterior Facilities: New Construction (4) Ground surfaces along accessible routes and in accessible spaces shall comply with 4.5.
