Mayor Gee Williams said this week that an inspection by representatives of the Federal Highway Administration revealed that the town was Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. The inquiry by transportation officials came after a complaint filed last year citing the signs, benches and planters on the sidewalks as hindrances to accessibility. Williams said the complaint was filed by Chuck Ward, the town’s former planning director who resigned in 2013.
“The complaint was filed by a disgruntled former employee …” Williams said. “One of the problems we were having was he was vocally against all of those things.”
Ward, when contacted this week, declined to comment about the complaint.

ReplyDeleteChuck Ward grow up.
ReplyDeleteThe ADA is one of the worst piece of crap laws ever passed and one of the most abused too.
ReplyDeleteIf there is anything that would not be ADA compliant in this picture, it would be the bricks as they slowly move and create jagged and uneven spots in the travelway. Roots from nearby trees could lift them past the 2% slope max for wheelchairs. It would be different if it was poured concrete decorated as bricks or a set of bricks concreted in but they are not.
