a crucial step towards creating inclusive and barrier-free spaces. I commend the emphasis on accessible design principles, such as ramps, wide doorways, and accessible restrooms. To enhance these standards, I suggest including specific guidelines for accessible pedestrian infrastructure, such as curb cuts and tactile markers, and ensuring that public facilities like parks and recreational areas are designed with accessibility in mind."

“Thank you for drafting these accessibility standards for the built environment sector. It would be helpful to ensure clear guidelines on tactile indicators, ramp gradients, and signage placement to support universal design. Including checklists for public buildings and regular monitoring mechanisms would strengthen implementation. Please also consider inputs from disability rights groups to refine practical challenges faced during on-ground execution.”
