Planners Gathering: Barrier Free Design for Planners

  • Date: 04/29/2025 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM  
  • Introduction: Oakland County | Planning, Zoning and Land Use - Virtual PLANNERS GATHERING

Barrier free design standards are an integral part of local planning. The application of those standards is an essential element of master plans, streetscape plans, site plans, building renovations and new-builds—and everything in between. Join us for a discussion regarding barrier free design, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Michigan Building Code. There will be several examples of what does and doesn’t work, some updates on legislation, and a review of online tools available to convey planning information to the visually impaired.
