Across Canada, sidewalk closures, detours, and work zones can quickly turn into barriers for people with disabilities, older adults, and others who rely on clear and accessible information or direction to travel safely.

This panel brings together municipalities, transportation agencies, accessibility advocacy representatives, and technology experts to discuss how they can remove barriers through the use of technology and devices, and what’s still needed in the future to make sidewalks and sidewalk detours accessible to support safer, more independent travel for all. We’ll explore challenges, policies, and solutions.
