WCAG 2.2 AA The standard this site is built to
Accessibility.
A destination site is only useful if everyone can use it. This one is built to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA, which is a step beyond the 2.1 AA the Town asked for.
What that means here
- Every page works from the keyboard alone, with a visible focus outline that meets contrast requirements.
- Text contrast is checked against the paper and ink used throughout; the signature orange is used for display type and fills, never for small text.
- Every interactive control is at least 44 pixels tall and wide.
- Every photograph carries alternative text describing what it shows, not just what it is called.
- The site works without JavaScript: the avenue, the directory, the calendar and every record render on the server. The walk planner needs JavaScript, and says so.
- Animation is limited to short color transitions, and stops entirely when the browser asks for reduced motion.
- The page language is declared, headings run in order, and every region sits inside a landmark.
The walk itself
Distances on this site are measured, but gradient, curb cuts and sidewalk condition are not published in any source available here, so no claim is made about them. If step-free routing matters for your visit, the Town is the authority.
