ACCESSIBILITY CONSULTANCY AND DESIGN
AODA - Design of Public Spaces, Public Right of Way (PROW) and Streetscape Infrastructure
Accessibility Simplified can help cities, towns and communities make their public spaces, public right-of-ways, and streetscape infrastructure more accessible for everyone, including people with disabilities, older persons, children and families.
Services
Facility & Site Accessibility Audits
Accessibility Simplified recognizes how integral it is to ensure that everyone in our communities, including people with disabilities and older persons, can safely and independently go where ever they want, be it to work, shopping or to a friend’s house.
Sidewalks, street crossings, and other elements in the public right-of-way can pose challenges to accessibility. Currently, only Ontario with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) – Integrated Accessibility Standard - Part IV Design of Public Spaces has enforceable standards for pedestrian facilities.
Even without standards however, cities and municipalities are required by human rights legislation to build and maintain accessible sidewalks, intersections and urban infrastructure.
Accessibility Simplified can:
-
Identify and prioritize accessibility compliance issues
-
Create a detailed report of audited findings and recommendations
-
Provide recommendations for removing barriers to accessibility for pedestrians
-
Help develop implementation plans
-
Identify priority milestones for barrier removal
