They’re on their own for the Disability Pride Parade as there are still too many barriers

Submitted by Project Access on

New York City holds its first annual Disability Pride Parade on Sunday, featuring a procession from Madison Square Park down Broadway to Union Square. Let’s see what it takes to participate.

You can take the subway to an N, Q and R station at Madison Square, where 23rd St. and Broadway meets 5th Ave. Oh, sorry, it’s not wheelchair accessible.

The same goes for the No. 6 stop a block away at 23rd and Park, the PATH station on Sixth Ave., the No. 1 station at Seventh Ave. and 23rd and the C/E stop at Eighth Ave.

NYC’s first-ever Disability Pride Parade not in very accessible location, with nearby subway stations lacking elevators

New York City's first-ever Disability Pride Parade may prove to be prety inaccessible for some, as most local subway stops do not have elevators.

A celebration of disabled New Yorkers’ fight for access is pretty inaccessible.

The city’s first ever Disability Pride Parade on Sunday is located in a part of Manhattan that’s lacking in elevator-equipped subway stations.
