More access for the disabled at Brighton Beach
The NYC Department of Parks and Recreation will expand access for the disabled at several locations in Brighton Beach.
“Nobody, regardless of their handicap, should find New York City’s public resources inaccessible — especially our wonderful beaches,” said New York City Council Member Chaim Deutsch, whose district includes the neighborhood.
Specifically, access will be expanded by way of the installation of additional “Mobi-Mats,” which allow wheelchair-bound individuals and those who are physically challenged to easily access recreational beaches.
