Pure bureaucratic tyranny
.
“The extension was granted as a result of...” it being an election year!
WAY past time for this ADA crap to be repealed or severely restricted.
This crap is getting asinine!
A small office with 10 parking places.... two of them have to be designated as “handicap only”. Just how many truly handicapped people drive?
Our Nation is doomed.....
Don’t forget to thank GHW Bush (R) for this buffoonery.
While you’re at it, thank Richard Nixon (R)for the job killing, electric price soaring EPA.
The hotel owners and managers should start shutting down their pools and spas and then get on TV saying the Barack Obama’s ADA did this.
What is "easily accomplishable"? Will it involve lots and lots of civil suits where lawyers for handicapped activists looking for cash settlements will sue pool owners by the hundreds because in their opinion installing the lift is easily accomplishable. It is probably just easier to close the pool for everyone rather than risk the suits. And be sure to post a sign proclaiming to everyone that the pool cannot be used because of the ADA. If enough things are closed to both the handicapped and non-handicapped maybe some popular backlash will cause the ADA to be struck down or at least defanged.
The pools are readily accessible to anyone in a wheelchair. It’s getting back to the dry part that is the problem...
Everybody loses.
Anybody who has tried to comply with the National Electrical Code should sympathize with the difficulty. It is a very different thing to build a pool lift and install one that can deal with every kind of disability. Moreover, I truly do not understand why a physically capable lifeguard would not qualify as a "pool lift" as that might actually be better for dealing with the variety of disabilities presented, with the exception of morbid obesity. Can you imagine the lift capable of dealing with a 600 pound person?
