The Wheelchair Lifts
The wheel chair lifts at the corners of the intersection of Oklahoma Ave. and California Ave. are ugly, unreliable, inefficient, and expensive to maintain. Additionally, their limited carrying capacity imposes a serious pedestrian choke point at what is one of the most important commercial locations along the Canal.
Vertical Movement
Currently their is only one enclosed elevator at the south side of the Canal. The only means of vertical movement at the northern side of the Canal is a staircase at the Northeast corner. This means ADA access to the North side of the Canal at Canal level is almost completely retricted. Additionally any ADA persons at this level are trapped.

Replacing All Wheelchair Lifts
The wheelchair lifts require a large amount of maintenance and funding, and are still not garunteed to work. Replacing the lifts on the Northeast and Southeast corners with ADA ramps would provide a reliable, inexpensive, and easily understandable method of circulation. Additionally, at the Northwest corner an enclosed elevator would be implemented.
Adding an Elevator
The lack of an ADA accessible link between Canal and street level on the Northern end of the Canal is unintuitive and makes navigating California Avenue a logistic challenge. By simply mirroring the south elevator to the north side of the Canal we can create a simple and convenient connection between the Canal and Street level on both the North and South sides.
