THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT IS ENTERING ITS FOURTH DECADE

THAT’S A MAJOR NEWS STORY

I am happy we have the ADA. 

When it passed, did I think the built environment would be 100-fold more accessible after 30 years of it on the books? 

Yes.

Am I deeply disappointed that sidewalks, parks, pools and other public spaces — as well as restaurants, retailers, hotels and taxi/rideshare vehicles — are still routinely inaccessible to my wife and others who use wheelchairs for mobility? 

A disgusted, resounding yes is the unfortunate answer.
