So some sort of mezzanine will need to be invented. Let me be clear here. Someone I have been involved with since she was a toddler became a quadraplegic courtesy of an incident w/ a deer on CA Highway 1 in 1988. So, my concern is personal as well as general. When she lived in NY for a decade, she mostly used buses although that did not always work out well either. Bottom line, I am adamant about full ADA accessibility. No, I am not saying every NY subway station this year, but the BS of doing overpartof a station but not putting in the elevators is unacceptable. In a public radio talkshow, someone suggested increasing handicap van cverage, to which I replied, NO, separate but equal doesn't cut it.Many on this board are much younger than I (73+), but assuming decent health you will all arrive at a point where stairs become onerous at best or simply impossible. Enough rant. |
