Embarking on a -𝗕𝗮𝗱 𝗔𝗗𝗔- journey; an Eye-Opener in the World of Disability & Design! As we continue to navigate the turbulent yet enlightening path, get a load of today's spectacle. Seemingly small, it’s an absolute iceberg in the ocean of the population we strive to serve. Pictured below are temporary comfort stations, positioned thoughtfully at a State-provided rest stop. The commendable bit? They've included a special facility for our disabled friends. But here's the kicker: if you'll notice; there's a 6" asphalt curb standing as a barrier to access it! The question is, how does a wheelchair-bound individual surmount this challenge? We need to be more than just aware; we need to be proactively sensitive in our efforts to provide equal access for everyone. This is not about ticking off boxes on a compliance checklist. It’s about the heart of understanding and compassion. So, let’s do better. Who else spotted this glaring oversight? Let's engage and discuss. How would you solve this issue, given the chance?
