SASHA BLAIR-GOLDENSOHN
The MTA lawsuit was a huge win for accessibility in New York City.
“The
great thing about Sasha is his unwavering determination and vision,” says Emily
Seelenfreund, DRA’s lead attorney on the case.
“Various
folks wanted to settle for less. Sasha knew there could be more.
He
didn’t want to settle for pretty good — he wanted to settle for how it should
be.”
Over
the years, there have been many attempts to create mapping programs detailing
the accessibility of the built environment.
All
have run into the same problem: scale.
For
accessibility information to be useful, it needs to be thorough and widespread.
The
amount of data needed to make an accessibility map useful is enormous.
