Not at all. It’s only damned if you refuse to adopt well-known and successfully implemented accessibility strategies in your infrastructure.

These disability barriers are not necessary; rather, they result from the District’s systemic failure to adopt available, well- known, accessible designs for on-street parking and curb access—including practical solutions for bicycle lanes.

DC could have used an accessible bike lane design, they just chose not to.
