Streetscape Universal Accessibility means a public realm streetscape design or streetscape furnishing that considers and promotes equity and inclusiveness and enables any person to perform activities independently and achieve equivalent results.
These guidelines are intended to be applied throughout all District streetscapes, parks and public infrastructure. The guidelines were reviewed and guided by District of Squamish Accessibility Committee, local accessibility consultants and Squamish workshops with Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) and accessibility stakeholders. This is a document made by accessible users for accessible use.
The Street Lighting Design Criteria document provides lighting and electrical design criteria to aid in the design of street lighting within the District of Squamish. Street lighting generally refers to lighting of public roadways, walkways, and trails.
