BARRIERS HINDER EMPLOYEMENT OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
When I complain to architects about lifts, they say “it meets the code and passes inspection.”
This is a
horribly disingenuous answer.
Would they
design a roof that passes inspection then collapses within six months of the
building opening?
Because at
least nine out of 10 times, outdoor lifts are not functional less than six
months after installation.
If
architects, engineers, planners and the city officials who regulate them truly
cared about inclusion and equality, they would change the code and do away with
an accessibility device that fails to provide access.
