As I read the problems and the key features of the town office and recreation project, I became a stronger supporter of the project. Why? ADA accessibility.
I am a physical therapist, and the concept of accessibility for all people is at the core of my beliefs. You may think it is not important to you, but those who need accessible buildings don’t get to make that choice on whether it is important or not. It just is.
The moment when you or your loved ones need better accessibility happens quickly, and the ADA compliance law has been put into place to be there for you in the event you ever need it.
Children, teenagers, and adults who need to get into town spaces should be able to do so independently with dignity and grace.
