Bill 151 restricts this access. The smug assertion that families with mobility- <br /> impaired members can simply build ramps (34 foot ramps for Zone X-shaded!) is <br /> segregationist. It makes accessible homes less likely to be built, and therefore restricts the <br /> accessibility of the community. Those of us with mobility impairments already have very <br /> few places that we can go in the community Bill 151 will restrict our world even more. <br /> We urge you to reject the new rules concerning greater elevations in home <br /> construction. We urge you to replace them with "visitability" rules, that require accessibility <br /> to all new construction. We want integration, not segregation. <br /> Please reject this portion of Bill 151. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Ron Amundson, Secretary <br /> Disability Rights Hawaii <br /> PO Box 5575 <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> F~ <br /> <br /> ~ Y~~~r. <br /> <br />
