Thanks for fixing those in Canada. I could say something about becoming the 51st state, but who needs that xxx

Wheelchair Accessibility Mapping in Regina - Some Thoughts

@Pieter Vander Vennet Check out AccessMap.app. It routes via elevators inside of buildings. For example, in downtown Seattle, where the streets are steep, as well as at light rail stations.

Wheelchair Accessibility Mapping in Regina - Some Thoughts

It is a shame that the mall doesn’t have elevators for people with mobility issues.

I’ve been mapping sidewalks as separate ways for some time. I got started after working with the University of Washington Taskar Center Accessible Technology. The Taskar center even has a great map tool, AccessMap.app. It likely because the Taskar Center is located in Seattle that they created such a great map tool. Seattle is a very hilly city. So AccessMap.app will even direct wheelchair users to elevators during opening hours.

If you get Regina sidewalks map, let the Taskar Center know so they can add your city to their map.

OSM US is also has a Pedestrian Working Group. We hope to have a sidewalk map done in the near future.
