Does Lot 30 Restaurant care about people with disabilities?

It’s disheartening to go to a new restaurant and find they have made no accommodation for people with disabilities. Let me pinch myself. Yes this is 2009 and PEI is supposed to have accessible standards in its building code.

That appears to be the case at Lot 30 who caught heat last week for serving foie gras. Green Party hits low of silly complaints

How does it happen that the owner of a new restaurant opens in Charlottetown without making the premises accessible?

That’s what I found at Lot 30. One big step that makes it impossible for a wheelchair to enter.

When Steve Barbour renovated Brennan’s which is another old restaurant, he made a special effort to make the entrance, main dining floor and washroom accessible. Thanks Steve.


What was Gordon Bailey thinking when he got his building permit?

I called Don Poole of City Planning and he explained it all away. The building is too old. That’s strange I replied. There is a ramped entrance to the right of the front door of Lot 30. That could be an accessible entrance.

Poole didn’t like the conversation. Does he care?
