No ramps for Naperville homes after all
Naperville, Illinois's Fair Housing Advisory Commission won't implement no-step visitability plans after all because it's "too difficult," according to a story in the May 9 Chicago Tribune. In "a typical new house in the southern part of Naperville, the distance between the curb and the finished floor of the house is 5 feet. The rise helps accommodate basements with high ceilings and other design features," said the story. So it's too difficult to implement, said Bill Malleris, who had been pushing for the change. The Commission had approved visitability plans initially in February.
