We want everyone to be able to experience St. Marys, barrier free!
Many shops and restaurants are located in historic limestone buildings that date back to the mid-19th century. We want to ensure everyone can experience all that our town has to offer, this unique and picturesque architecture is no exception.
In 2017 St. Marys embarked on a mission to remove existing barriers and make our town fully accessible. This included altering storefronts, sidewalks, public washrooms, picnic tables and other town amenities. You will also find fully accessible pedestrian signals at our downtown intersections. This project created 47 additional accessible storefronts.
We recognize the important value of a fully accessible town and continue these efforts on an ongoing basis. If you experience anything that you feel could be improved, please email and let us know.
