Re 57 Bedford LLC
To whom it may concern
The Commission on Disability has been informed by a town citizen that the
medical building located at 57 Bedford Street has some access issues Specifically
the entrance from the parking lot into the building is via two heavy entrance doors
The citizen that complained to the Commission said that she is not disabled yet still
struggles with the doors The woman also told us that she had received no
response to her letter addressed to the property manager
The heavy doors are next to the handicapped parking, yet they are not able to
be opened by most people needing those spaces Easy and safe access should be a
right for everyone, especially in a medical building
We would like to see you put in automatic door openers so that everyone
seeking to use health care services in the building can enter and exit safely Please
let us know what you can do to remedy this Thank you.
Sincerely,
Victoria Buckley
Chair, Commission on Disability
