Default Confusing ADA laws.

Several of you have done a great job in researching the laws pertaining to Segways and we all owe you a great thank you. But it is still confusing. I have found most people excepting and interested in Segways and mostly polite when I discussed using a Segway, except the head of security at Canton, Texas. She was not ugly with me, just unreasonable. I guess at some point the bureaucrats will come to some kind of a conclusion, at least partially.

For us using Segways, we will just have to be polite and push.

The ADA was written to be confusing......

As far as Canton TX, if they denied you access then they are in violation of Federal Law. I would file a ADA complaint.

If you got in then well done, another person was informed.

They told me no, but when I went to city hall they let me glide. It's all written up in this forum. In a way I wished they would not have let me glide, then I could have complained. As it is I don't know if the next person will be able to use a Segway or not. I only went to the trade days because family members wanted to go. I have no interest in ever going again. It's just not something that interests me.
