I honestly wish that alot more cities in the US were accessible and pedestrian friendly. It's good for both people with disabilities and able-bodied people alike, and it's also good for businesses too.

That is a lot of lawsuits right there. Took awhile but i eventually got my downtown area to stop blocking sidewalks with signs and chairs, etc. Start with the city, fight back. Ada is your law, use it. Me ? If a sign is in my way, i just knock them over. The electric chair is like a mini tank, use it as such. Nothing will get better if you dont fight. No one will pay much attention till you act. Sueing is one way to start.
