read moreI would like to thank the entire O'Dell team for their assistance with the City of Manteca Open Trench/Joint Trench Standard. We are already using this standard to work with developers who will help the City build out a conduit loop around our City over time, but most importantly ensure our residents have easier access to multiple broadband providers in our neighborhoods. Your team was kind, responsive, and knowledgeable. We appreciate all that you did for us. Thank you very much for an excellent presentation on 'Inclusive Play: The Basics of Accessibility, Inclusion, Sensory Integration, and Intergenerational Play'.

Somewhere during the design process however, the very purpose for creating these play spaces (children's play) often gets lost in the details of Americans with Disabilities Act regulations, ASTM safety standards, equipment selections, and budget restrictions. At O'Dell, we know the importance of these issues, but also realize that they are peripheral to the design process and not the focus!
