Mightywheels Meeting April 5, 2014
1:00-2:00p.m.

Tim M.
Stephen T.
Debbie, Welcome to the Mightywheels Group
Due to the weather being great we had 5 people attend. After
catching up we discussed how:
Debbie agreed to ask the City how we can expedite sidewalk
repair.
Maureen spoke about an ongoing DATS problem. The DATS accessible
mini-van driver(s) are consistently not safe. Maureen said she'd called DATS
complaint line twice in 2 weeks and has not received a reply. During the meeting Maureen wrote a letter to
DATS and said she'd email it today.
Today we met at McDonalds, located at 6741 177 St NW
Edmonton.
Things That Are Already
Great:[1]
1.
Automatic door for access and egress.
2.
Accessible wheel chair labelled tables that are
at a proper height.
3.
Aisles that are wide.
Room For Improvement:[2]
1.
The West entrance to this McDonalds building has
no wheelchair ramp; so, only the East entrance is barrier-free.
2.
There is no slip resistant flooring. The floors
at this McDonalds are slippery, even when dry.
3.
The male washroom is way too small.
Next week, April 12, Mightywheels Group will be visiting The Tea
Place, at 1p.m. The Tea Place is located at 6655 178 Street.
