“Walk-, Stroll- & Roll-Ability: Designing a Pedestrian Network for All” draws audience

The Northwest Universal Design Council hosted “Walk-, Stroll- & Roll-Ability: Designing a Pedestrian Network for All” on January 14, 2016, featuring a presentation by Seattle Department of Transportation ADA coordinator Mike Shaw and design and construction engineers John Ricardi and Eugene Pike. They discussed challenges and solutions in developing a pedestrian network that works for all—sidewalks, curb ramps, street crossings, accessible pedestrian signals, transit access, and more—from a Universal Design perspective. Their Powerpoint slides are available to view online (linked below).

Fifty-seven people attended the presentation. Many thanks to our event co-sponsors—Aging and Disability Services, Feet First, King County Mobility Coalition, Seattle Commission for People with disAbilities, Seattle Department of Transportation, and the Seattle Human Services Department—for promoting attendance.
