"With the city set to host the Super Bowl on February 9, local advocates and leaders hope they can use the big game as a catalyst for change, improving accessibility for all."
"I think for Super Bowls, we see cities take a beautification approach, as opposed to a functional approach. We need to do both," says Mark Raymond Jr., emphasizing the need for infrastructure improvement alongside aesthetic enhancements.
"The city has been focused on infrastructure improvements throughout downtown and has gathered insights from the disability community, showcasing the progress but recognizing more needs to be done."
"Altogether, roughly two dozen organizations aim to do approximately $60 million of work in the next five months, which include upgrading sidewalks, roads, and rights of way, pending successful project funding."
