		<title>&#8220;TxDOT brings ADA upgrades to Taylor&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We applaud TX DOT for launching construction projects to make sidewalks ADA-compliant.
We have added this article to our blog to stress an important point. 
The goal of the construction, of course, is an ADA-compliant sidewalk. 
However, the contractors have installed non-ADA-compliant barricades to close the sidewalk itself.
