I saw the new Google interactive slideshow that replaces the logo since August is National Parks Month in the US. In a few of the slides, they had a girl(?) in a wheelchair.
How do they expect us to believe that someone in a wheelchair was able to traverse through the paths? Are there some kind of tread attachments for wheelchairs or something? I remember seeing those Hoverround commercials where a bunch of old people scream out "HOVERROUND!" at the edge of the Grand Canyon or something, but how realistic is that?

Some popular national parks have easy trails near the parking lot. Some of these are paved

There's also "Leveraged Freedom Chair" which some outdoor enthusiasts use.

ADA compliance exists. There are MANY handi-cripple accommodations at national parks.

Why the fuck should the crips lose out and not get good trails/views/
NPS needs to pave all trails and make sure they are wide enough or full access.
This is 2016 for god's sake. Why are we still walking on dirt rough cut crappy routes?

Because not everything should be paved.

Some wheel chair users have lost limbs serving their country. What have you done with your life you worthless NEET?
>>845089
>lost limbs serving their country
Oh man that's really sad, they are both retarded and crippled.
>>845056
I'm sure this is something the NPS thinks about a lot.
How accessible do you make the parks?
They don't have the budget for everything
Even if they did, paving every trail would in not good stewardship
So they pave the popular things next to the parking lots
>>845043
that's amazing. not even broken and i want one.

>serving their country
In the USA that literally means welfare queens who fight for oil. The only thing crippling is their level of stupidity.

You can't modify the woods. If it's a structure built within the last 15 years it's going to be ADA compliant.

They are going to have to going forward and retrofit all existing trails. There are a multitude of lawsuits already in process.
The Fed overstepped their bounds when they made every public building comply and it is biting them in the ass now. All major trails at all Federal parks will need to be in compliance by 2028, state parks will probably be given the same timeframe to +5 years.

>All major trails at all Federal parks will need to be in compliance by 2028,
This could be completely unrealistic depending on your definition of "major trail".

Actually no, they can run bobcats and pavers in fairly easily once the trees have been cleared in a wide enough swath.
This is going to be the next big job/infrastructure project as well. I've heard AT & PCT are scheduled for start in 2018 and the expect to take about 18 months in a staged effort.
Major trail is going to cover about 75% of existing trails and they are looking at shutting down about 15% of the remainder to get to the required %.

They are doing the same thing with boat ramps that don't have cripple accommodation. The good thing is that eventually no one will have boats but the cops and fish and game officers. Honestly no one needs to be in the woods or on the lake so it makes sense to keep civvies out.
