UNIVERSAL DESIGN IS THE PATH TO ACHIEVING IT
Ever go to the opening ceremony for a new community pool, computer lab, daycare, gym, library?
Guaranteed the mayor and city manager will brag about it
being state of the art, best of the best.
Ask about the plans for a rebuilding a sidewalk broken by
tree roots and heavy trucks and city leadership will speak of just meeting ADA
compliance by a hairbreadth.
See the difference?
Even when pressed, they say the disability community
should be thrilled if one tenth of the public realm is accessible at a bare
minimum.
If they broke their leg, would they like the doctor
to toss a bandage and two aspirins at them and walk away satisfied that bare
minimum medical treatment was delivered?
