Movement on the sidewalk is affected by use of umbrellas during rainy weather: some areas require me to narrowly pass other pedestrians.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Underneath the umbrella, the experience of water changes depending on overhead structures (which block and redirect water) and the movement of vehicles (which create spray\/mist).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

ANIMATION: PERUGIA SIDEWALK ACCESSIBILITY<\/h5>\n

Work completed outside of class time.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/seeingenvironment2022fall\/files\/2022\/10\/animated-perugia-drawing.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n

In this short animation, I have illustrated some accessibility issues with the sidewalk outside Perugia Cafe, and suggested design solutions.<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bike racks are positioned such that pedestrians who are visually-impaired would run into bikes that stick out into the pathway. This is also an issue for everyone using the sidewalk as they need to maneuver around the bikes.<\/li>\n
  2. For visually-impaired people, there is no indication of where the doorway to Perugia is located.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I have also suggested some possible solutions to these issues:<\/em><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Paving material change in front of the cafe doorway to indicate (tactile) that this area is of interest.<\/li>\n
    2. Turn bike rack 90 degrees to move bikes out of the pathway. Extend the gravel section to encompass this entire area which indicates (tactile) that this area is not intended for walking.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
