Universal Access Standards
Calls are growing to make universal accessibility a requirement for new residential construction, obliging developers to provide safe, accessible entrances and pathways for older people and those with mobility disabilities, so they can move around easily and independently. Proposed standards include ramps with suitable gradients and widths, non-slip surfaces and handrails where needed, as well as the removal of obstacles and on-site inspections before completion certificates are issued. Specialists and contractors stressed that incorporating these requirements into plans from the outset is easier and less costly than modifying buildings after construction, and that accessible pathways also benefit patients, mothers and people with strollers.
