And a ramp into the deep end for wheelchairs that go down stairways.
? The ramp looks great and is a perfect example of why people need to be careful complaining about every change. You can hardly notice the ramp and the pool is now both legally compliant and is accessible with dignity to our neighbors in wheel chairs.
We should remember this fight next time we are inclined to oppose change just because it is change.
Brian there were other options there were far better and cheaper , but alas the ramp was the most expensive so it was used
Graydon. Meh. It’s ok in a pinch I guess.
I was with my daughter in head high surf on LBI this weekend; water was about 70 degrees and crystal clear with a minimum of goose shit floating around.
No wheelchair ramps though. Someone draft up a letter to the Atlantic Ocean to reprimand it for non-compliance!
James–I did not follow the issue that closely but I do not recall any options that provided the same level of access for cheaper.
My bigger point is that Save Graydon and others fought the aesthetics as much as the cost. The result proved those lines of debate totally moot.
Have you used Graydon Pool or are your comments based upon drive-by perceptions? No, no goose crap. I’d even go so far as to say the water is probably cleaner than the ocean. Don’t be fooled into perceiving cleanliness based upon picturesque beachy scenes.
The ocean is filled with dangerous bacteria.
