Hi Spencer, Braxton, and Zaynah,
It sounded like we lost the whole underbelly of our ADA modified van the last time we left the Tuptim Thai restaurant due the slope of the entrance/exit not being what it should be! This issue, I predict, is an engineering matter since city street projects often include replacements of business and residential entrances/exits.
I am not sure a warning sign would help as the parking lot can be a little congestive during certain times of the day and traffic on 29th ST can be rather busy too. A driver doesn't know the slope issue is a problem, until it is too late. How would Visit Topeka address the issue to support this local eatery when marking to those relying on ADA transportation?
I am not sure who is chairing the ADA Advisory Council nor who the appropriate person is to address the entrance/exit off of 29th ST to the Tuptim Thai restaurant located in front of their building and closest to the handicap parking. I wanted to make sure that this issue gets on someone's priority to-do list to address accessibility within the City of Topeka.
I would appreciate a response as to a resolution to this matter. Thanks for your consideration.
