There is an opportunity to improve accessibility in downtown Oshawa!!
Exactly 2 years ago this month, members of the Oshawa Accessibility Advisory Committee OAAC surveyed the businesses on King St and on Simcoe St and found several stores in need of ramps, as well as some that, although they don’t need ramps because they have level ground entrances, still need power door openers for accessibility.
Below is a picture of Gino, the Vice Chair of the OAAC when we were in the downtown January 2020 raising awareness among building and business owners and managers of our accessibility concerns.
Last week the Province announced some new funding for accessibility Deadline for applications is March 3.

Now is the time for the City to secure RAMPS and POWER DOOR OPENERS for DOWNTOWN OSHAWA!
Oshawans can help by sending an email to both Council@Oshawa.ca and Clerks@Oshawa.ca in support of applying for some of this funding for the DOWNTOWN OSHAWA Community.
RAMPS & POWER DOORS ARE NEEDED, especially now, when the City's many diverse restaurants and businesses are reopening. Both the patrons with mobility issues and the business owners will appreciate increasing accessibility!.
