Resource: Muehe et al. v. City of Boston

On May 7, 2018, GBDH, along with co-counsel Civil Rights Education and Enforcement Center and Disability Law Center, sent a letter to the City of Boston on behalf of residents and visitors with mobility disabilities who had been denied access to the City’s sidewalk system because of missing and inadequate curb ramps. The letter alerted the City to its obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act and other disability access laws and proposed that the parties collaborate on a solution rather than litigating. The City agreed, and for the next three years, GBDH and co-counsel engaged in productive settlement talks.
