Audit whether public buildings are actually usable
The problem
Accessibility compliance is frequently recorded as complete where a ramp exists but is too steep, blocked, or leads to a locked door.
Why it matters
Partial accessibility is inaccessibility, and it is recorded as success.
Proposed solution
Accessibility audits conducted with disabled residents, recording usability rather than the presence of a feature.
How it would be implemented
Audits designed and led by persons with disabilities, published with photographs and a usable-or-not judgement per building.
Risks, and what we would do about them
Risk
Audits without remediation produce documentation and no change.
Mitigation
Every audit is filed as a tracked issue with an escalation path, not merely published.
