A large office complex I used to work in had, among other things, sidewalks connecting the various buildings. On the steeper graded areas, the sidewalks were stepped, in order to make the stretches between steps more level.

Said sidewalks were, of course, unsuitable for wheelchairs but highly suited to folks who can walk (even with a cane or crutches).

In compliance with ADA, and at great expense, the stepped sidewalks were torn out and replaced with continuous surface. The supposed purpose of this remodel was to make them "wheelchair accessible".

Rot and nonsense. They are less convenient for bipedal (or assisted bipedal) locomotion ... as for wheelchairs?

Taking a wheelchair up the slope would be impossible. Taking a wheelchair down the slope should be done only by the friggin' moron who thought the remodel was a good idea, filmed, and submitted to MTV for airing on "Jackass".

Thanks.

ADA means spending millions of dollars to make the world worse for everybody.

I’ll bet it was fun when they were ICE covered in the winter!
