	DISABILITY-FRIENDLY CITY SURVEY
	In order to better serve the needs of people with disabilities and seniors, the City is asking people to participate in a Disability-Friendly City Survey. Elements that make a city friendly to people with disabilities and seniors are accessible options for transportation, housing, health services, civic and social involvement, recreational and leisure facilities, environment and weather, education, and employment.

	A MORE ACCESSIBLE CITY
	Multiple City departments are working to make downtown and neighborhoods – as well as City parks and recreation programs – more accessible to people with disabilities. Stephanie Cook, the City's ADA Coordinator, sees progress being made. She's pleased the City is prioritizing walkable neighborhoods, and more paths are being opened for people using wheelchairs. "The past few years have been good ones in terms of accessibility," she said. "We're definitely going in the right direction." The accessible picnic tables, overlooks and playground at Suttree Landing Park are "crown jewels," Cook said. Click here to read full blog post
