MAIN SPOTLIGHT: THE ADA AT 30
The sad thing is most
of the charming urban corridors, the main streets, were built long before
people thought about a built environment that included wheelchair users, people
with other assistive mobility devices as well as folks with visual, hearing, or
cognitive impairments.
I wrestle with issues each day. Do I patronize the used book shop, even though the piles of dusty design books block the path of my wife’s wheelchair?
Do I boycott the coffee house in an old building up a few steps from the sidewalk?
Do I settle for delivery from the hip, eclectic restaurant because it’s in an old building with a restroom downstairs and no elevator to accommodate my wife?
There are no
quick and easy answers.
