Eliminating Single-Step Barriers

The local StopGap project has already given 15 free ramps to businesses with single-step storefronts.

Natalie Normand of the Breaking Barriers to Business program hopes they'll complete 65 by the end of September.

She says the ramps create an inclusive environment for people with disabilities, strollers, injuries, etc.

Each custom ramp costs about $70 to make and uses wood, vibrant paint, rope, glue and some good ol' elbow grease.

London currently broke a record in June for building 60 ramps, a goal Natalie and her team hope to break.

Donations are being accepted for the $4,500 project here.
