- Description
- Constituent concerned with the fact there are no handicap accessible restrooms in the commons. This sends a very loud message to the residents and tourists coming into the city. The city is in clear violation of the ADA act. There has been millions of dollars worth of renovations done to our parks, but the most trafficed park is not fully accessible to those with disabilites. There are no signs with brail or large font for those with vision impairment. Complaints have been submitted previously and nothing has been done. He understands things take time to get done but this is something that should be prioritized. | Type of improvement: [Other] Affiliation type: [Constituent]
