Nizhny Novgorod summer cafe verandas checked for accessibility for the disabled
Summer – the season of walks in the most beautiful places of Nizhny Novgorod and gatherings on the summer verandas of cafes. true, such a vacation is not available to everyone. Activists of the public organization of people with disabilities were convinced of this “Invatur”. Alena Karpova went with them in search of an affordable gastro-environment..
Get to the summer verandas on Rozhdestvenskaya street – not an easy task. Wooden flooring is an insurmountable obstacle for a person in a wheelchair. The ramp was found in only three of 15 catering establishments.
– They thought, that they have a congress, but they were wrong, not found.
Getting inside many cafes is also not easy.. Narrow doors and steps automatically deprive people with disabilities of an accessible gastro-environment. But if you get inside it still worked out, tables in the way. And most importantly – none of the establishments on Rozhdestvenskaya has an accessible bathroom.
It turned out to be possible to overcome Rozhdestvenskaya Street itself only on one side.. The opposite part for a person in a wheelchair becomes a continuous obstacle, that can be overcome, just leaving the road.
Ivan Ilyin – Activist NROI “Invatur”: Not available, filled with cars or climbs under 45 degrees, impossible to climb without help.
This is not the first such inspection of the most touristy attractive places in Nizhny Novgorod. Prior to this, the activists bypassed Bolshaya Pokrovskaya, but there are still the same problems.
Svetlana Kupolova – Deputy Chairman of the NRIO “Invatur”: Very embarrassing and very embarrassing, that in our big and beautiful city, nowhere to go for people with disabilities, to spend a nice evening.
Andrey Bulanov – Chairman NROOI “Invatur”: Based on the results of this expedition, a list of proposals for changing, and we want to collect everyone, who is involved in this, who is engaged in the development of tourism in our wonderful city, offer them something to change, so that guests admire not only the beauties of our city, but they were also able to appreciate the cuisine of our city.
As a result, the inspection participants were still able to enjoy lunch., but hands had to be treated with wet wipes, and the toilet remained an inaccessible luxury on Rozhdestvenskaya Street.
