The Design of Public Spaces Standards Development Committee developed this survey to get public feedback on their initial recommendations on improving accessibility standards for designing and building public spaces.
The questions the committee developed for this survey are based on their initial recommendations, which have been organized into 18 categories:
- long-term objectives of the design of public spaces standards
- overarching barriers in the built environment
- design of public spaces standards definitions and applications
- recreational trails and beach access routes
- outdoor public use eating areas
- outdoor play spaces
- exterior paths of travel
- accessible parking
- obtaining services
- maintenance
- additional recommendations
- Ontario Building Code general recommendations
- exterior and interior building elements
- interior element services – building controls, alarms and signage
- publicly accessible washrooms
- residential buildings
- egressibility
- existing buildings and retrofits
At the end of the survey, you may share additional feedback with the committee and optional demographic information to help the committee better understand the effect of accessibility barriers on specific groups.
