5.1. Lake Lisgar Waterpark Building Renovation Presentation – Alicia Lesniak from
A+Link Architects
The Lake Lisgar Waterpark Building Renovation is currently underway.
Alicia Lesniak from A+Link Architects was present to provide an overview of the
project plans including accessible features.
Opportunity was provided for comments and questions.
Entry/exit doors to splash pad/pool areas remain open during operation. A+Link
Architects recommended upgrading the ramps in the future; this is not included
in the current scope of work.
There was discussion regarding the exterior bathroom on the front of the
building. Concerns were noted about the amount of concrete allowance for
mobility device access, the outward swing of the door (interference from wind)
and the lack of an accessible push button.
Ms. Lesniak confirmed the site plans have been updated so that the exterior
bathroom door will be hinged on the right side to increase the concrete
allowance. There was insufficient space to accommodate the door swinging into
the bathroom.
Resolution #2
Moved by: Trevor Ford
Seconded by: Karen Clipson
THAT the Accessibility Advisory Committee recommend to Council that the
exterior bathroom door on the front of the Lake Lisgar Waterpark building be
fitted with an accessible push button.
Carried
The next Accessibility Advisory Committee meeting is scheduled for June 20,
2022 at 4:30 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Council Chambers, 200
Broadway, second floor.
