Segregated Townhouses / Integrated Townhouses

The resident in the disability-designated unit (with the ramp and wheelchair sign) unfortunately can not visit dozens of neighbors, living in a row of townhouses built with a step up to each porch. Nor can residents in the neighboring units  enter or exit their own homes independently if they experience a temporary or permanent disability. A sidewalk parallel to the curb and low-cost grading, when the units were constructed, could have provided every home with a zero-step entry.

Fortunately, every home in this 87 unit development offers a zero-step entrance (and inside one finds ample door widths)

Please support the Inclusive Home Design Act introduced in Congress by Rep. Jan Schakowsky
