This time, I am looking at different routs from Zaya to the Long Street Means Hall at Emory University and whether they are accessible for people with disabilities. Zaya is a Mediterranean restaurant behind the Long Street Means Hall (LSM). When we walk out Zaya, we can see LSM is just at the opposite side of the road. After crossing the street, we just need to climb up some stairs, pass the sidewalk along a lawn and here we are at LSM. However, it’s really inconvenient for people with mobility issues like wheelchair users to climb up the stairs. We need to find an accessible route.

On the wall beside the stairs, we could see a sign say “Accessible rote to LSM is via parking garage.” Getting to the parking garage and going through it, I found an accessible entrance to an elevator lobby, and the elevator just takes me directly to the first floor of LSM. So it’s pretty much an accessible route. However, the only possible problem is that when you get into the garage, you will see a ramp on your left hand side and an elevator lobby as well, but it’s not the route we are finding but actually the accessible route from LSM to the Asbury Circle. Though it could also lead us to LSM, but the entrance is not an accessible one. So, it’s some kind of misleading without a clear signage in the garage.
