| Intersection | Navy St and Lakeshore Rd E |
| Physical Access | Partially Accessible - Anyone using a wheelchair would require assistance to get in and out of the building ; Once inside the building, it's all one floor. The washroom has a grab bar but doesn't meet the official definition because the door isn't wide enough (not 42") and the basin is not the type that provides easy use. There are two entrances normally used, both have steps and are less than 42" wide. There is one exterior double door which has a low (2") threshold. The paths to get to the doors are either fine gravel or natural stone. |
