5. RAMPED CURBS
Wherever you go, all over town you will find that all the sidewalks have been
provided with ramped access, at least at intersections, if not for every driveway as
well. Ramped access is also standard for every major public building, including mu-
seums, concert halls, big hotels, government buildings, even ferries.
6. ACCESSIBLE TOILETS
Disabled-accessible toilets are provided in many places, including hotels and res-
taurants, attractions, and municipal areas. Some are inside the buildings, but there
are also a number on the street - they are the green kiosks that you can find at PIER
39, at Castro and Market Streets, and at the Civic Center, for example.
7. INDEPENDENT LIVING RESOURCE CENTER
This organization can provide every sort of information you might need about ser-
vices for travelers with mobility problems, as well as for those with developmental
disabilities.
