    Event Information

    Join us for Construction Cafe – Session 8: Keeping Your Business Accessible

    Navigate construction obstacles with practical accessibility solutions and high-visibility signage to ensure every customer can safely reach your door.

    In this essential session, merchants will learn how to ensure that construction barriers do not become permanent hurdles for their most vulnerable patrons. The workshop begins by identifying common accessibility challenges—from uneven temporary pavement to confusing detours—and moves into practical, temporary solutions that can be implemented immediately. 

    Participants will master signage best practices to create high-visibility guidance, with a specific focus on serving seniors and individuals with mobility or sensory needs who may find construction zones particularly daunting. The session concludes with a hands-on route mapping exercise, helping business owners plot the safest and most accessible paths to their front doors, ensuring that a “pardon our dust” phase remains inclusive for every customer.

    Do you have concerns or questions regarding the construction impact on your business?

    Great news! Someone from the project team will be on site after the session from 9:30 am – 10:00 am to share updates and answer any questions you may have regarding the construction project.
