County Treasurer’s Office needs to make site more handicapped accessible
Editor:
Orleans County needs to improve on their ADA’s. My friend wanted to personally pay his taxes. He presently has a disability and needs to use a walker.
So we go to 34 East Park St. in Albion. They do have a ramp but it can only be accessed from the front of the building. The parking area in the back only has stairs, no ramp so you have to park on the street across from the building. You then have to walk in the street because the sidewalk is uneven, except for the front of the building.
You proceed to use the ramp but the back door is locked. You ring the doorbell and wait for someone to open the door. This may take a few minutes if they are waiting on customers inside. Staff was very pleasant but not an ideal situation. This is just one instance as I am now more cognizant of the limitations people with disabilities have to encounter in our county. We need to do better.
