Toronto businesses get free ramps — and new customers in wheelchairs
The conversation is relevant to small business owners, who must make their establishments accessible by 2025.
“There are businesses out there that cannot afford to construct a permanent modification to their storefront,” Anderson says. “This is a very cheap, efficient solution that might be the answer to the mom and pop coffee shops.”
The project was given the thumbs-up by City Council and lauded by Councillor Adam Vaughan. The portability of the ramps means no permit is required. They are light, with a convenient rope handle on one side, so they can easily be brought in at night.
