Toward an Understanding of Disabled Persons’ Satisfaction with Pedestrian Infrastructure in Toronto, Canada.

Abstract

The experiences of disabled persons with pedestrian infrastructure (PI) is a human rights, social justice, political, and planning and design issue. We used ordinal logistic regression to study disabled persons’ satisfaction with PI in Toronto, Canada. Disabled people who identify as men and people from higher income households reported greater satisfaction with PI conditions. In rank order, greater contrast in levels of satisfaction appear related to sidewalk conditions, construction zones, and streets and related facilities.
