I know that physical, concrete "barriers" are not the kind usually considered on this list..... but does anyone have any suggestions, about what's worth seeing & photographing, in terms of "Built Environment" Barriers to equal accessibility for PWD's, in the San Francisco Bay Area? I will be visiting Sacramento in the next couple of weeks; and will be making one or two day-trips to San Francisco. For me this is a rare 3,000 mile trip, and a rare opportunity to study & take photographic slides (for possible design-teaching use), of accessibility-related "good examples" or "bad examples" of architectural design, in another locale. Of course I'll look at the BART, the Bay Area Rapid Transit System. Is is really fully accessible, as I hear? And I'll check out SF's new museum of modern art building. What else in the SF Bay Area is worth seeing, in terms of environmental accessibility or inaccessibility? Is the Embarcadero Center fully accessible? Are there any buildings, street-scape "improvements", etc., in the city of BERKELEY... that are worth seeing, in terms of "good examples" of "universal design" or at least "accessible" design ? (My e-mail inquiry on that, to the Berkeley C.I.L. has bounced back due to an obsolete address being listed on their web-site. Anybody have the current correct E-Mail address for them?) Thanks for any suggestions. Jim %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
