Update on my disability dilemma

In reference to this post, I wrote this to the city:
"While visiting the Parks and Recreation building earlier this month, I noticed that there is no handicapped-accessible entrance into the building. Although there is a ramp in the back, there is no way to get in through the back door without the keycode, and the back door is clearly marked "Employees Only". There also doesn't seem to be any handicap parking spaces.

An easy solution to this problem would be to put an intercom or bell at the back door with a sign that says something like "Handicapped entrance only. Please use intercom to have staff open door". Then the office could keep the back door locked, but it could still be handicapped-accessible."
I just received this reply in my email box:

Keryn,

Thank you for bringing this ADA deficiency to our attention. We just moved into this building last October and obviously still have some things to take care of. Thank you for your suggestions as well. We will be looking at how to remedy the situation. In the mean time, if you need assistance getting into our facility please call xxx-xxxx and we will help you.

Thanks again!

Dale Robinson

Parks & Recreation Director

Yay! Problem (will be) solved.

Have I mentioned that I love my city?
