The Impossible Sunnyside LRT Wheelchair Ramp Dilemma

Dear Druh Farrell, Calgary Transit & Calgary City Council,

Re Impossible Sunnyside Wheelchair Ramp

Google.

Search "wheelchair ramp".

2,000,000 results.

Select design.

Build.

Here's the solution to what Calgary Transit & Alderman Druh Farrell both consider to be an impossible challenge. The structure is temporary and made from wood. Signage would be posted. Done. Next.

  1. It looks like your proposed ramp would require space in the street.

    You're not seriously proposing building a temporary wooden structure for wheelchair access in the middle of a roadway are you? Also, is there enough space so the incline isn't too steep? What would you secure the ramp to?

    Would it even survive the rigors required of (temporary) public infrastructure? Doubtful.

    Building a convenience ramp for someone's deck in their backyard is a little different than wheelchair access for a CTrain Station.
