Description

George Crawford Manor is an Elm City Communities facility for people who are elderly and/or have disabilities. It is fenced. The only entrance is a sidewalk along the driveway.

The City of New Haven recently installed a new curb ramp and violated 28 CFR35.151 by only remediating that "small section of the path of travel" to that entrance. You can see the section that was ignored. The next two photos show detail from both direction. The last photo is the other side of the entrance, near the corner of George St..

Those substantial limitations leave this Public Housing Facility for people who are elderly and/or have disabilities 100% ghettoized. There is no accessible path of travel to the bus stop on George St. or to Yale New Haven Hospital, one block south on Park St.

" A “path of travel” includes a continuous, unobstructed way of pedestrian passage by means of which the altered area may be approached, entered, and exited, and which connects the altered area with an exterior approach (including sidewalks, streets, and parking areas), an entrance to the facility, and other parts of the facility."
