The next time a publication lists the top 25: Planners Architects Urban Designers It MUST include a Universal Design leader. Or it is worthless. 1 in 4 have a disability, so at least 1 in 25 can be recognized for focusing on accessible design #DisabilityInclusion #UniversalDesign

The Harvard Study of Adult Development found that human connections may be the single most critical determinant of long-term happiness and health. So why do cities accept endless barriers to mobility for people with disabilities? #disabilityinclusion #universaldesign #happiness

Maneki Neko, Tokyo’s famous good luck cat, stands guard over the entrance to a bridge over the Sumida River in the Asakusa District. People with disabilities are served by a turn ramp. Tokyo Sky Tree is in the background. #streetphotographer #universaldesign #tokyo #manekineko

Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Curb ramp on one side leads to trio of wheelchair access disasters on the other: no curb ramp, manhole & utility vault tripping hazards on sidewalk & in crosswalk. This is one block from a major city’s Main Street! #universaldesign #disabilityinclusion

Let’s count the illegal, inhumane blockades to wheelchair access: 1) fire hydrant 2) missing concrete 3) landscaping 4) sign posts in middle of sidewalk. This street connect’s a city’s Bus Rapid Transit to its historic avenue. #UniversalDesign #DisabilityInclusion #planning #ADA

So proud to have worked on Universal Design Planning with the Downtown Detroit Partnership — via presentations and walking workshops — in anticipation of NFL Draft. I also wrote a story about wheelchair access in the core of Detroit. @DowntownDet @visitdetroit #UniversalDesign

Excellent Universal Design in play at Richmond’s Bus Rapid Transit stations. Safe crosswalks at red lights lead to wide ramps to boarding platform. Level entrance erases reliance on bus lifts/ramps that break down. @GRTCTransit #universaldesign #disabilityinclusion #brt #richmond

Once upon a time we would only have steps here but thanks to progress, we have ♿️ramps. A consequence is this makes the space more accessible to bikes, buggies, shopper trolleys! #UniversalDesign Not a huge fan of shared space but it works ok here. 18/20
