It wouldn't matter. In (most of?) the US, anything you so must meet all the latest code, so if you aren't rich you line in a tent (I'm exaggerating slightly, but you are forbidden from a building a 1970s car, house, etc)
- chrisseaton 5y agoFor example is the Appalachian Trail ADA compliant?
- coryrc 5y agoIf the government built a train station on the middle of the trail, then they would literally be required to build ADA-compliant ramps down to the mud.
- chrisseaton 5y ago> If the government built a train station on the middle of the trail I don't understand why people are so deeply muddled about this. There is no train station. It's for bridges over the railway in the middle of nowhere, far from train stations, along country footpaths. You cannot traverse the footpaths on a wheelchair, so you cannot even get to the bridge in the first place.
- toast0 5y agoThe US ADA requires reasonable accomidation, which is wishy washy, but lots of new construction nature paths in hilly terrain just have steps, because there's no room for a ramp and an elevator would be unreasonable. Even new construction train stations don't always get an elevator to go over or under the line to the other platform... although they do get a long ramp and a ramp on the platform to load if the car floors are above the platform. If these crossings are really in the middle of nowhere along muddy footpaths, I think you could get away with no ramp in the US, too.
