Where seating is provided, incorporate a variety of seating to accommodate a range of physical abilities, as well as companion seating that enables wheelchair users to sit next to friends or family members. Ensure permanent ADA accessible seating every ¼ mile.
In addition to seating related to business or service areas, incorporate seating along the pedestrian travel way to provide places to rest or “people watch.”
Ensure all commerce areas provide protection from the elements, including sun, wind and precipitation. Provide ample shade trees, but also provide awnings or other overhead elements to protect against precipitation.
