Civic spaces and pedestrian walkways sometimes must be removed to access subsurface utilities of water, power, and gas can be accessed. Most works contracts will state that any removal of walkways must be 'made good' after the underground works have been completed.
But what about mobility aids and accessible features installed there before the subsurface work was undertaken? Will they be recovered, assessed, reinstated and certified as fit for purpose?
This video Journal details a replaced asphalt pedestrian walkway where the original Stainless Steel Directional TGSIs were once installed and have not been reinstated.
A person with a disability who use to access these TGSIs can no longer do so. Their mobility and orientation needs have and continue to been neglected.
