ORDER: After reviewing the parties' submissions and applicable law, notably the Statement of Interest submitted by the United States, the Court rules that a public entity's provision and maintenance of sidewalks is a covered "service, program, or activity" under Title II of the ADA, 42 U.S.C. § 12132. The Court is persuaded by the reasoning in Frame v. City of Arlington, 657 F.3d 215 (5th Cir. 2011) and Barden v. City of Sacramento, 292 F.3d 1073 (9th Cir. 2002), which thoroughly explain why this ruling is supported by the statute's plain language and its implementing regulations. See also 28 C.F.R. §§ 35.104; 35.150(d)(2); 28 C.F.R. Part 35, App. B at § 35.150. Finally, the Court highlights that recent district court decisions have also found that sidewalks are covered services under Title II of the ADA. See American Council of the Blind of the City of New York v. City of New York, Civil No. 18-5792 (PAE), 2020 WL 6151251 (S.D.N.Y. 2020); Hamer v. City of Trinidad, 441 F. Supp. 3d 1155 (D. Colo. 2020); Mote v. City of Chelsea, 252 F. Supp. 3d 642 (E.D. Mich. 2017). The undersigning judge firmly decides that: "[a]ny sensible reading of ADA Title II compels the conclusion that maintaining public pedestrian thoroughfares for citizens to get around a city - and access the many public services and businesses located within - is the archetypal example of the most fundamental of public services." Mote, 252 F. Supp. 3d at 655. Accordingly, Defendant is hereby ordered to answer the Amended Complaint at Docket No. 11 by December 10, 2020. Signed by Judge Gustavo A. Gelpi on 11/12/2020.

ORDER denying 54 MOTION to Strike Gonzlez-Rivera's Motion Opposing the MSJ's Emergency Motion for Consolidation; and denying 51 Emergency MOTION to Consolidate Cases. In deciding whether to consolidate two cases, a Court must first determine "whether the two proceedings involve a common party and common issues of fact or law. Once this determination is made, the trial court has broad discretion in weighing the costs and benefits of consolidation to decide whether that procedure is appropriate. A motion for consolidation will usually be granted unless the party opposing it can show 'demonstrable prejudice.'" Seguro de Servicio de Salud de Puerto Rico v. McAuto Sys. Grp., Inc., 878 F.2d 5, 8 (1st Cir. 1989)). While the two cases involve the Municipality of San Juan and share claims pursuant to the Rehabilitation Act, 29 U.S.C. § 794 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12131-12134, the Court finds Plaintiffs would suffer a demonstrable prejudice if the case were consolidated with Civil No. 21- 01537. Both cases involve different plaintiffs, different issues, and find themselves at different stages of litigation. While both sets of plaintiffs are "individuals with mobility-related disabilities", Docket No. 55 at 3, and both cases implicate the same laws, the maintenance of public sidewalks and the design, construction, and operating of a coliseum are wholly different issues. As such, consolidating both cases would be prejudicial to the plaintiffs in both cases. Signed by Judge Jay A. Garcia-Gregory on 6/17/2022. (ERC) (Entered: 06/17/2022)
