TOO MANY ARCHITECTS, PLANNERS, TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS AND URBAN DESIGNERS REDUCE THE ADA TO SOME KIND OF ONEROUS HURDLE THAT MUST BE LEAPED
It amazes me when I visit a new urbanist beach town and find, almost always, a long ramp over protected nature and dunes—that ends in stairs down to the beach.
The ramp is
already there.
No one is
freaked out by it.
No
waterfront experiences are ruined.
So why not
ramp the beach part of the walkway?
I could fill
a room with people who have limited mobility but swim, surf, sun and otherwise
use the beach.
