Debarking from the vehicle, the chair is wheeled or pushed a full, unprotected block to the corner of Cypress and North First, thence up the ramp and through the door, hopefully with help to hold the door open. The alternative is to take CityLink Van Service and stop on the exact corner of Cypress and North First where the curb ramp is located. Then directly up the ramp to the door, covered all the way. The driver can get back in the van provided the nose of the vehicle has not been smacked by North First traffic. Now let's go to the Civic Center.
Handicapped parking is adjacent to the ramp near the door.
When reaching the top of the ramp, push the folding wheelchair as fast as possible across the pebble surface between you and the door. It's not far. Upon entering the building you have qualified to call 911. They have no idea where they are. A bottom rail would fix it.
