Cordish & Cardinals Correcting ADA Mistakes At Ballpark Village
Last September I wrote how Cordish & Cardinals Failed To Plan for Pedestrians at Ballpark Village. I had immediately informed city officials after I spotted some violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act in July, they were unaware of the issues until I pointed them out.
On January 19th I noticed this corner looks a bit different:
I’m not sure who screwed up originally but the fixes aren’t cheap. This is just another example of pedestrian work done poorly/incorrectly in St. Louis, with almost no oversight.
Eventually I hope the owners, contractors, architects, and engineers on these projects will learn how to do things right, or at least hire someone that does, to make sure they’ve got it right before the concrete is poured.

Would you ever consider yourself for hire to review these on drawings?
Yes, in many cases I’d voluntarily review them to help make access better for myself and others.
Are you sure this isn’t MODOT fixing it? Work related to the “Park Over the Highway” extends up Walnut to Broadway with what appears to be bulb outs and new signals so Walnut between Memorial and Broadway can be two-way.
When I brought it up to officials last year they discussed if the City+Arch+River project would be involved here, they said it would not.
Steve, you should get into the ADA consulting business. You could make a mint.
Thank you, buy my goal isn’t money, it’s well-designed public space.
Yeah, but you could help a great deal as a consultant… and then you could use the money to help some more. 🙂
