American Disability Act?

I don't think the board is actually understanding the act, it does say "at least one" but the point is that there can be more than one. It is not the ADA that is stopping them from building a second accessible entrance. 4.3.2(3) At least one accessible route shall connect accessible building or facility entrances with all accessible spaces and elements and with all accessible dwelling units within the building or facility. 4.3.2(4) An accessible route shall connect at least one accessible entrance of each accessible dwelling unit with those exterior and interior spaces and facilities that serve the accessible dwelling unit. I think they just don't want to spend the money on removing the gate for the 2nd entrance. Please follow the link, maybe your interpretation of the act will differ from my own.

A Good Source to check is the ADAAG Checklist at the following: URL: http://www.access-board.gov/adaag/html/adaag.htm#4.1 Description of access requirements are all preceded with: "At least one accessible route complying with 4.3 shall be provided" So if you want two or more accessible routes, that's fine! I Hope this Helps!!!
