THE POWER OF INCLUSION ON MAIN STREET (Part 6)

MAIN SPOTLIGHT: THE ADA AT 30

Here’s another tip: restaurants should provide accessible tables. Providing only picnic tables or high-top tables is not adequate. 

Businesses need to provide plenty of regular height tables with leg room underneath. 

Also, please help educate your businesses that one lowered “special” table for “special needs” is not enough.

Here’s another path to accommodating all that doesn’t cost a cent. 

Make sure bus, train and circulator stops are free of clutter that would block wheelchair access. Work with transport engineers to ensure that electrical boxes for streetlights are not creating barriers on sidewalks.
