The state should make it easier for people with disabilities to gain access to the offices intended to serve them, especially now that the 28th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act is upon us.
Today, VOICE-Buffalo Accessibility Task Force and its supporters plan to march/roll from Southgate Plaza to the West Seneca Developmental Disabilities Services Office. Getting there won’t be easy.
Their purpose is to demonstrate how inaccessible the facilities are for the clientele it is supposed to serve. It means taking two buses and a shuttle that runs only twice a day. Worse, they must contend with 50-plus mph traffic and a two-lane highway with no sidewalks.
