Skinny sidewalk, strange sign

June's Question Corner

by Tim Athan

posted 6/27/2009

Q: What’s the deal with the narrow sidewalk outside of Hiller’s at Arborland? Two people can’t walk side by side there—how is a handicapped person going to manage? Isn’t there an ordinance about width of sidewalks?

A: The city does regulate sidewalks but only on public property. State and federal rules on commercial property require wheelchair access from parking to stores. There is barrier-free access to Hiller’s from the parking lot without using the narrow sidewalk.
