There is a lot wrong with this parking area intended to be accessible. These violations of the ADA discriminate against individuals living with a disability. What they could/should have done here is install one accessible space in front of the store, and another near the entrance to the hotel. At least one of these spaces, and preferably both, should be van accessible. Each accessible parking space should connect to an accessible route to the front/main pedestrian entrances.
Read MoreRecently on a road trip through Montana and Wyoming, I found examples of non-compliance with the ADA. At a hotel I observed a parking area intended to be accessible that had several violations including no compliant access aisle, a single vertical sign for two ADA parking spaces, the sign is installed too low to the ground, and neither of the parking spaces is van accessible.
