The Subway restaurant at Congress and Oltorf, Evangeline Cafe in South Austin, Submerged nightclub and La Zona Rosa, a popular concert venue, have each been sued for accessibility issues that plaintiffs say are out of compliance with the ADA. The lawsuits were filed on Monday. The establishments have not been served yet.
La Zona Rosa's box office has a ramp leading up to it, followed by a step down just before concert goers get to the ticket window.

Austin, inaccessible? Who'd a thunk? ;)
I did an assessment of my own city during a short drive today and also did so last week--as a passenger in my car. Even in my car culture suburban area, there's a lot that's inaccessible. Whole neighborhoods without curbcuts. I estimate that I can't get into about 50% of businesses.

A few friends and I have worked on improving sidewalks and curbcuts here, which has helped, but you're so right - it's true that our car culture adds to a lack of accessibility re curbcuts. Businesses have taken a lot longer.
They should have a law suit on there hands.
Keep us updated
