Introduction RANDY Equitable use provides a means of use for all users that is identical where ever possible.

EQUITABLE USE Crosswalks downtown Bicycle route, London Rd. Audible signals for vision-impaired people Visual signals for sighted people Drop-curb design for wheelchair access & limited tripping hazard Tactile paving allows for prevention of slippage Bicycle route, London Rd. Low traffic density; offers no calming effect Not at offset road Low-visibility bollards may offer night-time hazard Diverts drivers away from destination, creating longer routes RANDY

FLEXIBILITY IN USE Recycle, garbage bin, Henderson Park Angle offers accessibility to wheelchair users but falls short. lid is too high to reach lid is too heavy offers recycling bin for bottle collectors but contains garbage – intended design missed its mark. ALLAN Chinook Tourism, Scenic Dr. & Mayor Magrath Dr. S. Design offers access to those without mobility challenges. The sloped ramp is easy for people in wheel chairs and those with other impairments.

Simple & Intuitive Use Traffic circle – 4 St. & 7 Ave. S. Active Park, Scenic Dr. S. Simple instructions, simple design, simple to use Provides high benefit per effort Traffic circle – 4 St. & 7 Ave. S. Low traffic area, unnecessary Annoying hindrance of traffic flow Waste of civic financial resources ALLAN

PERCEPTIBLE INFORMATION Chinook Tourism, 28 St. & Scenic Dr. S. intersection Left lane turns left; right lane goes straight and turns right Perception: no through route, road ends No direction arrows on pavement (show yellow) ALLAN Automated washroom downtown Without reading one can easily understand the diagram.

Tolerance for Error HONK Park & Pay service TYSON HONK Park & Pay service Elimination of manual Zone input allows for less error in zoning Automated GPS location Automated washroom downtown Its location is close to a bar Social demographics in the area have led to continued misuse of the washroom

LOW PHYSICAL EFFORT Emergency callbox at University of Lethbridge Very distinct color and text To contact security there is a big red button Flashing light on the top of pole for reduced response time. TYSON 28 Ave. S. at Parkbridge Estates Inadequate Drainage, and low slope Entire sidewalk freeze over with ice in melting season This is in front of an elderly gated community

SIZE AND SPACE FOR APPROACH AND USE TYSON Table at Galt Garden Wide wheelchair access allows good turning radius Cement pad allows for walking behind seating Approachable from all directions Entrance at Sport Chek When door is open, wheel chair access is limited forcing you into the street. Walkway is awkwardly sloped downwards from the door to the street Bollards reduce sidewalk area for all pedestrians.
