SUBWAY ELEVATORS COST MILLIONS AND STILL BREAK DOWN

ELEGANT TURN RAMPS COST FAR LESS AND ARE MORE DURABLE

More of this please.

Turn ramp provides wheelchair access between platforms in a Midtown Manhattan subway station.

Instead of costly elevators that break down, why not more of these? 

Universal Design works best when it is simple and straightforward.

NEW YORK MAYOR MAMDANI, PLEASE DO THE MAXIMUM FOR ACCESSIBILITY

HUNDREDS OF CURB RAMPS AND CROSSWALKS 

ARE NOT WHEELCHAIR FRIENDLY

This is one of many shamefully neglected crosswalks at Madison Avenue and East 44th Street in Midtown Manhattan.

Shoddy layers of pavement and potholes create tripping hazards for pedestrians and mobility barriers for wheelchair users.

A SECRET PARK AT THE SOUTHERN TIP OF MANHATTAN

A+ ACCESS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AT THE ELEVATED ACRE

The Elevated Acre is a hidden, one-acre public park in Manhattan's Financial District, located above street level at 55 Water Street, accessible for pedestrians via an escalator.

It offers a quiet escape with panoramic views of the East River & Brooklyn Bridge

The Elevated Acre features mostly wheelchair accessible terrain with a lawn, amphitheater, benches + raised boardwalk.

ADA access is via the 55 Water Street lobby.

Use the building's elevators to travel to the acre.

INTRODUCING A TRIPPING HAZARD IS NOT GOOD MOBILITY DESIGN

REMOVE BUMPY SURFACES THAT ENDANGER WHEELCHAIR USERS

It’s time to say goodbye to the pavers that are a wheelchair mobility hazard on the sidewalk hugging Central Park on 5th Avenue in Manhattan.

A smooth, pedestrian friendly surface is urgently needed.

NU STADIUM: HOME OF INTERMIAMI CF

GREAT SIGHT LINES, LOVE TO ROOF CANOPY PROTECTION FROM RAIN

I can now say I saw Lionel Messi play in live in MLS competition.

Great time at my first game at NU Stadium.

InterMiamiCF played to draw vs. my former hometown Columbus Crew.

Great sight lines, concessions, restrooms.

Canopy roof saved us from the rain.

While waiting years for the pedestrian bridge, the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County MUST do a better job for pedestrians walking from the north parking lots.

The sidewalk on 37 Avenue over the Miami River branch is narrow and dangerous for pedestrians.

Close the westernmost south bound lane of 37^th/Douglas Road – to create a safe pathway to the stadium.

I am still evaluating wheelchair access at the stadium.

For the record, I still think it was a boondoggle for City of Miami to give up precious park land for a mega development of hotels, retail, etc. that happens to have a soccer stadium.

I also believe the billionaire developers got a sweetheart dimes on the dollar deal.

But I still want to see a games.
