Handicapped accessibility buttons on all public doors, especially bathrooms.
It's important for handicapped folk to be able to open a public door without embarrassment and struggle. Nobody helps unless you dang near hurt yourself and that's after saying excuse me and nobody responding so I try it and all bad 😞. I just want to cry and it's so frustrating. At section 8 of all places you would think they would have a button for the bathroom. Nah, it's for the door to the side that isn't even unlocked. I get off my wheelchair and open the door and prop the trash can in the front corner to hold it open to pull my wheelchair in. It just makes it easier to have easy access to the door without struggling or embarrassment. I was also informed that accessibility buttons are needed at the height of a standard wheelchair so that we can reach it and not in an impossible location for us to get to. Please, it would be greatly appreciated 🙏 Thank you.
Why is this important?
It's important for the handicapped folk to feel welcomed. If I can't get in I'm obviously not welcome or it would be just as accessible to us as it is to all fully functioning folks. It's a law to have handicap parking spots and walkways but not doors?😫 It's okay for me to be there parked in the front of the building and then I can easily push my walker or wheelchair onto the sidewalk but I can't go in? 🤷 What's up with that? Enforce laws all the way up to the doorway and then, sorry, you're unable to enter because you can't operate your walking aid and the door at the same time? It can cause a severe accident and someone could be badly hurt 🤕. I don't think anyone wants that lawsuit on their hands. Discrimination, I believe.
How it will be delivered
