THE POWER OF INCLUSION ON MAIN STREET (Part 7)

 MAIN SPOTLIGHT: THE ADA AT 30

Street furniture is great, but make sure benches, wastebaskets and bike racks are not creating a barrier to pedestrians, especially those who use assistive mobility devices.

Dockless bikes and scooters can be a great boost to walkability and first/last mile mobility.

But be sure to heavily regulate how they are used and where they are parked.

Otherwise, bikes and scooters pose literal barriers when they block sidewalks and passageways -- denying basic civil rights under the ADA.
