Handicap Accessible Along the River

River access points range in scale from dirt paths to sculptural gates. A nimble pedestrian has much greater accessibility than a bicyclist, who more often than not will have to dismount to navigate through an entry point. However, the most challenged of potential River visitors are the elderly and disabled.

As projects continue to develop along the Riverfront, it is essential to consider the full range of mobility - including visitors on bicycles or wheelchairs. We recommend a partnership with the City of Los Angeles' Commission on Disabilities to study and propose an implementation plan to make the River more friendly to the handicapped population.
