2015-2016 Chapel Hill/Orange County Access Guide

2015 – 2016

Chapel Hill /

Orange County

Access Guide

A guide for those with physical limitations, including young families with strollers

2

A guide for people who roll rather than stroll

Who require assistance while walking

Who need hearing or vision amplification

And families needing easy access and diaper changing tables

Welcome to Orange County, North Carolina!

Whatever brings you here, we hope that you find this to be a comfortable visit with all the amenities you require accompanied by the helpful good graces of those you meet during your stay.

We can all be grateful to the American Disabilities Act (ADA), which since 1990 has, among many other things, eliminated steps, or incorporated ramps into the entrances of all newly built public places, and specified accommodations for older buildings. Yet, some places, especially in historic areas, are still not accessible to those using a wheelchair or walker, pushing a stroller, or who cannot easily negotiate steps.

This guide is intended as a companion to the standard Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Guide, with added information that will assist anyone with physical limitations requiring extra help to get around, whether because of a disability, recovering from an injury, illness or surgery; those with vision or hearing impairments; or young families needing a diaper changing table and easy access. For the most part, the tips here are for those with ambulatory restrictions, so that your excursions around Orange County will elate, rather than frustrate.

Our hope is that use of this guide will help you get out and explore while avoiding surprises that might hinder your enjoyment.

Material in the Access Guide may not be reproduced without written permission.

this inaugural access guide was prepared by Valarie schwartz, former writer of the Neighbor’s column for the Chapel Hill News, from which she derived her 2009 book, Remembering Chapel Hill: The 20th Century As We Lived It, published by the History Press; and ellen Perry, a longtime disability rights activist born with cerebral palsy, who moved to Carrboro while still mobile and taught her adopted town about accessibility as her needs for it increased. Together, they enlightened many people during their research and sincerely hope you will find the people of Orange County as accommodating as they did.

CHAPel Hill, the lovely “village” that developed around the University of North Carolina as it grew, is the largest town in Orange County, with mostly accessible destinations, though most visitors gravitate downtown. Sidewalks and curb cuts are maintained regularly to keep them as even and smooth as nature allows, and restaurants, coffee shops and the bounty of stores from Henderson Street on the east, to Merritt Mill on the West end of Franklin Street, offer many welcoming places to stop and catch the beat of this university-centric town.

Unless it is an exceptionally busy time (graduation or homecoming weekends; or before, during or after a football or basketball game) there is plenty of parking in Chapel Hill, though you may have to pay for it.

every attraction includes recommendations for the most convenient parking lot to use when where to park is not obvious. Maps of town parking lots are on pages 44–47. enjoy many historical sites with a self-guided car tour on pages 23–27.

THe UNiverSiTY OF NOrTH CArOliNA at Chapel Hill provides accessibility to most areas of its vast campus for those associated with the schools and UNC Healthcare. However, parking for visitors, including those with a disability parking placard is greatly limited. especially helpful are maps and information at move.unc.edu. Click “visitor Parking,” click on “Disability,” scroll down to “important links.” Among the links are an “Accessibility Map” showing the location of button door entrances to all buildings on campus, and a “Disability Parking Map.”

if you use a wheelchair and have a parking placard, try parking in one of several unlimited handicap campus parking spaces or in a suggested town lot and roll; or take a bus to your destination (most buses accommodate electric wheelchairs).

if you will be spending a great deal of time on campus and need accessibility assistance, you may contact the office of the University’s ADA supervisor. Whatever your needs, feel free to call either UNC Parking Services or the UNC Department of Public Safety about the best way to access the venue you plan to visit.

CArrbOrO eMerGeS as one travels west on West Franklin or West rosemary Streets and opens many offerings within a few short blocks on Main and Weaver Streets. if using a car, you may wish to drive through the area first to get the lay of the land, but the pulse of the town is best felt from street level, and parking in any of the free community parking lots can get you there easily. if you want to venture along the two main blocks, park in the five-story parking deck at 300 east Main Street, next to the Hampton inn & Suites. From there you can roll or stroll either direction on Main Street, checking out shops and restaurants along the way. Carrboro still has a few shops with steps leading up to front doors, but back or side entrances are usually accessible.

Warning: Only park at Carr Mill Mall if you are using the mall. This is a place where you can be towed if you are seen parking and leaving the premises (camera surveillance).

HillSbOrOUGH evOlveD as many historic towns did, at the point of crossroads used by Native Americans and other early travelers across the state. being historic brings challenges to Hillsborough’s Churton Street, which has the steepest incline of all the downtown locations, and tricky paving in places. Wheelchair users may wish to avoid the (very bumpy) stone sidewalks alongside the historical courthouse square.

in 2015 with accessibility as an impetus, the Town of Hillsborough is making improvements to downtown sidewalks and its largest central parking lot (lot #4, see the Downtown Hillsborough Parking map, p.47). Though unmarked on the map, there is parking for those with disability placards behind businesses on the east side of Churton Street (behind radius Pizzeria & Pub).

if you love historical homes, drive through the downtown residential areas to see lovely mansions, cottages and mill houses. Couple that exploration with the Self-guided Driving Tour (p. 28–31) for a fun excursion.

PARKiNGGetting around in a place you don’t know is an adventure regardless of one’s abilities, but when extra effort is required, wrong moves can spoil your day.

in downtown areas, knowing where to park for easiest access is essential to a smooth excursion. A parking key has been developed to guide you to the best area to park, wherever you go. Parking codes for sites are at the bottom of each attraction description, listed before the restroom code (RR).

When the best parking option is an off-site parking lot, either FPL (Free Parking lot) or PPL (Pay Parking lot) will be listed with a number symbol (#) followed by the numeral representing that parking lot. See maps for parking in each downtown on pages 44-47. if no number is listed after the code, then parking is on site.

RestROOmsWhen two people of opposite gender travel together with one using a wheelchair, a good sense of humor is as necessary as preplanning. This guide aims to help you customize your visit according to the best choices for your needs.

Frequently the greatest limiter of independence in public places is the doors into an establishment or its restrooms. Assuming the doors are wide enough for a wheelchair, most business doors are self-closing, or “weighted,” making them difficult to open for a person alone in a wheelchair, or a person pushing someone in a manual wheelchair. Some doors have attached door stops, which wheelchair users learn to look for.

The key was written based on the highest level of ability of a person using an electric wheelchair, one who typically needs no assistance getting to and from their chair, washing their hands, and opening the door to enter and exit — unless there are obstacles, like a heavy door, or too little space.

Chapel Hill Note: When using parking lot #20, enter Franklin Street by traveling through Post Office Alley.

Carrboro Note: Only park at Carr Mill Mall if staying on site.

Hillsborough Note: More HP parking behind businesses on east side of Churton Street.

These assessments were based on an electric wheelchair 27 inches wide.

even within ADA guidelines, restrooms vary widely. Some “accessible” stalls allow a wheelchair in, but not always with enough space to close the door; or without room for an unaccompanied person to get the chair inside and reach around to lock the door.

Solitary wheelchair users especially will appreciate the restroom assessments, as AWO means that they will be able to open doors and all else unaccompanied.

if light switch, soap dispenser and paper towels are within reach and there is room for the stall door to be closed with a wheelchair inside, but the entrance door is heavy, the assessment will be HWD, making this restaurant manageable for a couple of

the opposite sex. The partner can open the door and then wait outside.

in some, the light switch, soap or towel dispenser cannot be reached by a person in a wheelchair. in all of these cases, a person who is highly independent in a wheelchair, will need assistance to use this particular restroom, thus it will be listed as an AWA restroom.

When a restroom is not accessible by a wheelchair, the code provided is NAW. A site that is not accessible by a wheelchair will have no restroom assessment provided.

For young families, some sites have diaper changing tables (DCT) in both restrooms, but most frequently only in the Women’s room. by the way, young moms, breast-feeding in public is allowed in North Carolina.

Here YOU Will FiND best ways to negotiate a restaurant, whether, among other things, wishing to avoid steps, requiring tables at an appropriate height for wheelchairs, ensuring that the restroom can adequately accommodate someone using a wheelchair or a walker; and best parking options.

There are very few food-serving establishments in Orange County that cannot be accessed by electric wheelchair. A manual wheelchair can get places an electric one can’t, just as a person using a cane or crutches can navigate places a person using a walker can’t. Climbing steps is difficult for many visitors and this will guide you around stairs when possible.

if walking is an issue, be aware that most restaurants on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, on Churton Street in Hillsborough, or on east Main Street in Carrboro will require parking at a meter or in a lot, then walking or rolling to.

All parking options are noted in the PArKiNG KeY.

in Hillsborough, parking lots with disability parking spaces can be found behind both sides of Churton Street businesses between King and Tryon; and a large parking deck is behind Weaver Street Market (228 S. Churton St.).

PARKiNG Key: HP Handicap Parking Spaces in front or nearby VP Valet Parking (no curb cuts) MP Metered Parking FSP Free Street Parking FPL Free Parking Lot (see parking map for lot # location) PPL Pay Parking Lot (see parking map for lot # location) SC Shopping Center

Chapel Hill Note: When using parking lot #20, enter Franklin Street by traveling through Post Office Alley.

Carrboro Note: Only park at Carr Mill Mall if staying on site.

Hillsborough Note: More HP parking behind businesses on east side of Churton Street.
