In Lviv, inclusive car parks are being built at the LeoParkovka site on S. Bandera Street. Thus, with the help of special ramps, parking spaces are raised to the level of the sidewalk. This will allow a driver or passenger in a wheelchair to move directly from the car park to the sidewalk without hindrance. This was reported by Lvivavtodor.
In total, there will be five such parking lots for people with reduced mobility on S. Bandera Street.
“We are working to make parking spaces for people with disabilities as safe and comfortable as possible. We are looking for various options and solutions to improve them. For example, for the first time in Lviv, we have started arranging parking spaces for people with disabilities by sharing a part of the pedestrian zone adjacent to the car park. This solution will soon be implemented on Bandera Street,” explained Lvivavtodor.
Work on the inclusive parking space on S. Bandera Street began last Friday. They are to be completed by the end of this week.
As Lvivavtodor reminded, according to the updated state building codes, the width of the parking area for a person with a disability should be at least 3.5 metres. “Not everywhere in Lviv this is possible. Therefore, where possible, parking spaces have been expanded, and where this is not possible, we are looking for other solutions. As, for example, on S. Bandera Street,” Lvavtodor added.
As a reminder, Lvavtodor currently operates 109 car parks, including tourist car parks on Kryvonosa Street and Vynnychenka Street. There are also two car parks on Torfiana Street and Chervona Kalynya Avenue. The entire list is available on the website on an interactive Google map.
By the way, these sites have a total of 2,506 parking spaces, including 258 for people with disabilities.
