Re: Handicapped Parking by the Numbers

[Guest guest]

Here is my little rant on the subject ....

While I believe that many - no, not all - establishments technically

do meet the ADA parking requirements, they might not always be user-

friendly. For exammple, some multiplex theaters.

I mean, there will be a whole string of perfectly wonderful handicap

parking spaces - on the far side of the theater with a grundle of

walking involved. If you are in a power chair or wheelchair, that

may be OK.

So, you say, why not just take your chances and park closer,

alongside the 'normies'? Because there isn't an access ramp from the parking

lot to the sidewalk! Because the ramps are in the handicap area!

In addition to suing entities providing services to the public, I think we

should start suing those absolutely ignoramus construction workers/companies,

who build ramps at 45 degrees, paint the striped wheelchair lift section of a

parking space only 18 inches wide,

etc., etc.

I think that ANYONE that builds ANYTHING handicapped..A requirement should be

that they try, ride, be in, ...a wheel chair or a handicapped car, van,or

truck!!That goes for bathrooms, sidewalk ramps...you name it! Disabled or not

they should be required to navigate in a Wheelchair...before they build

anything!!.. " Or " have a brainless disabled person with then to show them how to

make things accessable!! Being the snot nose that I am that's the way I think it

should be!
