Creating Equity During Sidewalk Reconstruction
Constructing accessible routes around your work zone ensures safety for ALL pedestrians
When sidewalks are under construction, they block off a safe route for pedestrians and turn the path into a potentially hazardous area that pedestrians need to traverse. Without ADA-compliant guiding equipment, pedestrians may be forced to take it upon themselves to find an alternate path around the work zone, resulting in potentially dangerous situations and liability.
It is important to plan for sidewalk closures that are both accessible and detectable to create equity. Devices that allow for smooth hand trailing, cane detectability and other accessibility factors are crucial for pedestrians with disabilities.
Fully accessible pathways allow all pedestrians to safely navigate work zones, keeping those with disabilities out of harm’s way and on the move.
