When DPW provided these elected officials with this personal benefit, it apparently ignored the alteration requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. There is a Courthouse and there are numerous violations of the ADA (and perhaps also Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973) on the north side).
When DPW milled Wall St., it was required to remediate those violations.
DPW was also required to install a tactile feedback pad on the north side. Someone who needs a tactile feedback pad needs one in both directions or how do they make the return trip??? People can travel from the House of Worship on Wall St. at Orange St. but cannot travel to that House of Worship. There is no point in installing one. A single tactile feedback pad is more dangerous to visually-impaired pedestrians. They will detect one and naturally expect that there is one on the other side of the street because they will assume that the DPW has a basic understanding of their purpose.
Pleas finish this project in a way that complies with Federal Law.

I will exercise my First Amendment rights as I see fit, just as you have a right to advocate for discriminatory policies that benefit you and discriminate against the members of a protected class. You can advocate for Whites-only restrooms if you want.
As proven by this evidence, these elected officials personally benefitted from projects that intentionally discriminated against a protected class It is noteworthy that the polling places for Wards 1 and 7 were not accessible when those Alders were elected and are not fully accessible now. Reports of those violations of Federal Law will be coming over the next few weeks.

An attorney who has a disability who attempts to access this courthouse may have a different opinion.
In determining it's priorities, it would be prudent for DPW to put apparently intentional violations of Federal law that substantially limit access to a courthouse, while at the same time providing an obvious personal benefit to the elected officials responsible for approving the funding for that discrimination should be near the top of the list.
