025: ADA Open Discussion: Bring Your Barriers Part 4


Listen Later

This week, we cover Part 4 of the ADA open discussion. Specifically, we discuss various topics around accessibility guidelines for recreational trails, kitchenettes in public accommodation, and parking spots of a retail building. We also answer questions related to whether all hotel rooms should be upgraded for access and where to take the measurement with a 24-inch level on a six-foot-wide walkway.

Joining us today are BlueDAG co-founders Paul Klein and Mark Wood, with over 50 years of experience in the field. We’re also joined by Victor Felix, BlueDAG's Director of Content and Compliance, and Joshua Hovinga, Chief Strategy Officer Chief.

In this episode, you will hear:

  • ADA recreational trail guidelines
  • Trails: The problem with using decomposed granite for any soft surface
  • Obstruction and depth requirements for kitchenettes in public accommodation
  • Considerations and guidelines for accessible parking spots
  • Required number of hotel rooms for access upgrade based on a ratio
  • Where to take the measurement with a 24-inch level on a six-foot-wide walkway
