Door Force Survey at Cotswold
It can be very difficult to impossible for those with limited hand or upper body strength to open doors without the assistance of another person. On Saturday, June 25th at the Cotswold shopping center, .Karen Hamilton with the ADA from the DD Council came to meet with some of the people in our group of self advocates. With her assistance, SAOMC tested the bathroom doors with a door force gauge to see how much force was needed to open them.
Thank you for your help , Karen!
Petition for CATS Bus Stop
Closer to InReach Center
A petition has been started to get a closer bus stop to the InReach Day Supports & Activity Center. Currently, the closest stop is four blocks away, This can be a problem for those folks unable to walk long distances.
Now that construction on South McDowell Street is complete, the petition will be forwarded to the Charlotte Area Transit System to see if either another stop can be added next to the facility, or if the existing bus stop can be moved closer.
If you would like to sign the petition, or to otherwise advocate for such a change, please send Laura Newell an e-mail at lnewell@saomc,org or contact CATS. directly.
