Pretty sure this is illegal. Anyone ever heard of ADA, it is a law.

I bet Law Suits are already being filed.

Of course, I would be sad! But I think, they are just doing it for safety purposes. Maybe many adults specially elders has been complaining for their safety.

the thing is, all SLC news has so many typos. Almost every story on KSL has either typos or grammar issues. As well as the tribune. I would never be surprised by a lack of professional writing coming from Utah publications.

As a city planner myself, I can tell you I was almost thoroughly embarrassed for my entire profession.


Also, for liability reasons, the City would never get rid of handrails, only cap them/put signs/introduce bylaws.

Whoever did that, just amazing. I was super confused until the last line. I did laugh out loud a little bit at the Thomas Granola part.

this would be so illegal. code mandates railings as a safety precaution, and no city has the manpower or extra cash to go around cutting down every rail in the city. thomas granola got a hearty chuckle tho.
