If you have listed a business on BluePath before but want to know a couple of helpful tips, check out the listing for Ampersand Oil & Vinegar Taphouse. By making some quick notes for each section, you can provide information to help someone decide if the business is accessible to their unique needs. It also provides the business owner with some information on how they can make their business more accessible with some simple, minor changes.
For instance, be specific about accessible parking and entrances. This business has two entrances, but there are steps on the rear entrance, so your best bet is the accessible space on the corner nearest the front entrance.
Is it a crowded business to move around in? Offer tips for that. There is not a space with enough room for a wheelchair to turn around – that requires a space about 60″ square. But there is one aisle that circles the store so you can get around that way.
And when the business checks out the listing you put on BluePath, they will see that by simply adding Braille signs for their restroom they can be fully ADA compliant! So check out Ampersand, and get ready to list your own favorite businesses.
