NOTICE OF PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT
ATTENTION: ALL PEOPLE WITH A MOBILITY DISABILITY: If you have used, tried to use, or believe you will in the future use or try to use any of the City of Oakland's sidewalks, crosswalks, or curb ramps, and have had or will have difficulty using them because they were too steep, narrow, sloped, damaged, or in need of repair, or otherwise inaccessible to you because of your mobility disability you may be a member of the proposed settlement class affected by this lawsuit. This is a court-authorized notice.
PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE TO LEARN ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS
What is this Case About?
A lawsuit was filed in 2023, alleging that the City of Oakland ("the City") did not follow federal and state disability access laws because it failed to install or maintain curb ramps and pedestrian walkways that are accessible to people with mobility disabilities. The City disputes this and denies it has violated the law. The case has now settled and the settlement is written down in a Consent Decree.
Who is Included in the Consent Decree?
The settlement includes all persons with any mobility disability, who have been denied full and equal access to the City's curb ramps and pedestrian walkways.
What does the Consent Decree Provide?
The Consent Decree, which is like a settlement agreement, will be in effect for twenty-five (25) years. The City has agreed to fix all curb ramps and sidewalks that the City identified in a 2021-2022 inspection of its pedestrian right of way as non-compliant with disability access standards or damaged. The Consent Decree requires the City to fix at least a certain number of curb ramps and square feet of sidewalks each year of the 25-year period so that by the end of the settlement the pedestrian right of way will be fully accessible to people with mobility disabilities. The City will also inspect and ensure the accessibility of newly constructed curb ramps and sidewalks that are inaccessible, maintain accessible curb ramps and sidewalks, improve its system for residents to request access fixes to curb ramps and sidewalks, and report compliance with the Consent Decree to attorneys who represent the class of people with mobility disabilities who benefit from this lawsuit ("Class Counsel").
The Consent Decree releases all non-monetary claims about access for people with mobility disabilities to the City's curb ramps, sidewalks and crosswalks, but does not release class members' claims for money damages. Plaintiffs will ask the Court to order the City to pay Class Counsel their attorneys' fees and costs, and the Plaintiffs who filed the case and are Class Representatives will ask the Court to pay them for their personal injuries and their time and efforts representing people with mobility disabilities in this case. The payments will not be made without the Court's approval and will not come from money that pays for curb ramp and sidewalk fixes.
What are my rights?
The Court has preliminarily approved the Consent Decree and has scheduled a hearing for December 4, 2025 at 2:30 p.m. with the Honorable Richard Seeborg, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, Courtroom 3, 17th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94102, to decide whether the proposed Consent Decree should be finally approved. The deadline to object is November 18, 2025. You can also appear at the hearing to object. If you do nothing, you will be bound by the Court's decision. If you do not oppose the settlement, you do not have to do anything. Please check www.dhkl.law/OaklandSidewalks for changes to the hearing date.
