CLEVELAND: THE WORLD’S MOST BARRIER-FREE CITY -- 4

ZERO THRESHOLD DESIGN COMPETITION IS A GREAT FIRST STEP


News flash: not only can barrier-free living be beautiful, but it also can be beneficial for non-disabled people.

Ramps are preferable to steps when bringing in groceries.  They’re also great for parents pushing strollers and folks using roller bags.

Doorways widened for wheelchair maneuverability – well, the fridge delivery guys said we would have had to cancel the sale model we bought and buy something else had or doorways not been widened for other purposes, that also happened to fit the new, wider model. 

We know some folks who have increased accessibility with pocket door or cool, barn door style sliding doors – both hallmarks of hip décor.

We may have enlarged our bathroom for turning radius for my wife’s power wheelchair – but who doesn’t want a bigger, more comfortable washroom?  

We’ve had dozens of people ask for the design plans for our walk-in shower because they are tired of hopping in and out of a tub-shower. 

Final registration and submission deadline is  July 15, 2019 -- so hurry up and get details at:
