Reading through New York City Parks Department Proposed Five-Year Accessibility plan I noticed the following paragraph on page 11
“Additionally, we’ve reviewed feedback based on past comments from our Parks ADA Advisory Committee, which enables us to receive valuable insight regarding our properties directly from persons with disabilities (PWD) and/or organizations that service constituents with disabilities living in the NYC area. ”
I think it’s great that the New York city parks department has an ADA Advisory Committee but I have found an issue, on the NYC Parks Accessibility page there is no information on how to attend these committees meetings.
So I would like to suggest some information on the committee be added to the NYC Parks accessibility page, perhaps something such as:
Parks ADA Advisory Committee
This committee enables us to receive valuable insight regarding our properties directly from persons with disabilities (PWD) and/or organizations that service constituents with disabilities living in the NYC area. For information on how to attend upcoming meetings by Zoom, please contact the NYC Parks Disability Services Facilitator (email information or contact page link goes here )
or
Parks ADA Advisory Committee:
This committee enables us to receive valuable insight regarding our properties directly from persons with disabilities (PWD) and/or organizations that service constituents with disabilities living in the NYC area. To be placed on the email list of people to be informed of upcoming Zoom meetings, please contact the NYC Parks Disability Services Facilitator (email information or contact page link goes here )
