A federal judge ruled that Chicago violated the ADA, denying visually impaired people accessible crosswalks.
CHICAGO -- On Friday, a federal judge ruled that the City of Chicago is in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
According to a lawsuit filed in 2021, the city allegedly failed to install pedestrian signals that are specially designed to aid the blind or visually impaired.
A DOJ statement reiterates that the city only installed accessible crossing signals at "a minuscule portion of the whole."
According to the assistant attorney general, the DOJ is committed to finding a remedy that addresses the discrimination against blind people in Chicago.
