CITIES MUST BE EQUITABLE, ACCESSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE FOR ALL

ALLOWING BRAND NEW BUILDINGS OR MAJOR RENOVATIONS TO OPERATE WITHOUT WHEELCHAIR ACCESS IS INTENTIONAL DISCRIMINATON

We live in urban Miami when we could live anywhere.

We support downtown and local mom and pop merchants.

Imagine what it feels like when a total renovation of a retail space fails to be wheelchair accessible.

This is discrimination.

This store in the heart of downtown at 280 NE 2nd St has zero access.

Miami politicians grandstand while capitalizing on the Surfside tragedy.

They go on TV to brag about how they will make buildings safe.

What about simple access for people with disabilities?

The Americans with Disabilities Act is in its 4th decade, so why are brand new spaces inaccessible?

It would be an atrocity to allow a building to deny access to a person based on race, ethnicity, gender, orientation.

But city of Miami routinely discriminates against people with disabilities by approving total renovations without wheelchair access.

The city should be sued.
