Caption:
The partially raised sidewalk in this 2004 image, revealed how this configuration allowed for a grade separation, while providing the opportunity for an accessible route from either end, to the at-grade, sheltered entrances leading to each residential unit. However, it was not apparent from this view, how a resident using a wheelchair could easily access these units, being that the apartment entrances could only be accessed by way of a flight of stairs. Taking into account those individuals, who are mobility challenged, during the design process, would have produced a product that provided a greater degree of accessibility for all who might visit this site. See PHIL 9106 for a closer view of this building’s façade.
