LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK FROM WHEELCHAIR USERS

TL;DR - Any kind of feedback you can provide regarding what YOU want and don't want from a wheelchair lift experience would be super helpful!! -- AND/OR, I'd also appreciate any input you might have about what a community space would have to be like in order to be inviting and welcoming to you!

Any input - small or extensive, general or specific - would be SO appreciated!! I'm hoping to deliver this feedback in the next couple days.

More info under the cut:

Hi, y'all! So I've been doing some work for this really awesome co-op project that has managed to purchase a small apartment building in our city, with the goal of providing our community with affordable housing, emergency preparedness, and an accessible community space!

Currently, the building is NOT wheelchair accessible, but they are seeking to rectify that issue, starting with the community gathering space in the basement. Funding is tight, so they really only have one chance at getting this right.

In the long-term when they have way more money, they aim to have full building accessibility, including an elevator.

But in the short-term, the proposed plan is to replace a set of stairs going down to the basement from the outside with an enclosed wheelchair lift.

If you check out highlighted yellow parts of the diagram below, it illustrates what the plan is. (Ignore all the other labels in the "BEFORE" part; it was just the best diagram I could find that included the stairs on short notice.)

There has also been some talk about widening all the hallways in the basement, which I plan to voice my strong support for.

Thus far, I am aware that some wheelchair lifts can only be operated from the outside, and that this is stupid. But I imagine there are a LOT of other pitfalls/needs that I'm not catching as a person who does not use a wheelchair! (I am trying to get a motorized chair, actually, but until then, I use a rollator or a cane. I've never used a wheelchair lift.)

Any feedback you could give me would be really appreciated! What should we avoid? What do you wish existed? What does it look like for you to feel comfortable in a space? How can we make this community space accessible for YOU??

Thank you very very much!!

Bruce and Barbara can start a class to teach people how to beat someone ass while in a wheelchair.

Anyway, Bruce is worried Tim is in danger and he didn't thought about it. (Tim is fine and not even home. Shondra and his dad, tho...)

Picture if you will, the most beautiful ethereal man you ever seen walking up to your seafood stand. Ordering the challenge meal giant clam, big enough to feed a family of 4-6. Ripping it open with his bear hands, and just going to town on that fucker like it's nothing. Several times a week he does this.

This must be why they call him Bear, you figure.

This lift in my school has been broken for the third week in a row and I'm going to chew a staircase if I have to climb another one

trying to make my home more suitable for me but stymied by the fact I can't get furniture unless it can be delivered direct to my house, everything is expensive, and several of the things that would REALLY help are completely beyond my reach

"God is the adaptation of man.

The rain and seas speak to us in beautiful words,

'Eyes openest and desire living'.

The Creator's hand bore God's law that has brought suffering.

God's love cursed the thorn and the thistle as a part of God's plan for ruin and degradation.

The fallen all are flowers upon the thistles."]
