Shops at Waterloo Town Square

[MacBerry]

There are two ramps on the other side of the square, and the incline would be too steep on the fountain side during the winter.

TOTAL DISAGREEMENT > Precisely my point ... " There are two ramps on the other side of the square" ... no willingness of those who plan/sell/buy to think outside the box on design and create barrier free access using universal design access for all planning. 

Universal design would easily resolve this and make the water wall accessible to all. It doesn't have to be an ugly ramp ... outside areas simply require flat pathway access that meet code ( CAN/CSA -B651-04 Pg 140  Accessible Design For The Built Environment  ). 

A long curved sweeping ramp with a future waterfall wrapped in the curve would meet code ... but as usual in Canada and Ontario persons with disabilities can go to to the other side of the plaza or use the back door.
