their No-Smoking policy - continued
Step 7. Physical Modifications
To create safe and accessible areas that are in compliance with the no-smoking policy, most properties will require some modifications:
- Every site will be required to have cigarette disposal receptacles.
- Most properties will require removing and addition of benches and other items to create clearly marked and unobstructed smoking areas.
- We anticipate providing smoking shelters where viable. Design review assessments will be done with other property rehab/capital improvements when applicable. Funding for the designating smoking areas are anticipated to primarily come from the capital improvement funds and a portion from operational funding.
