The doorway’s small step can be a large part of somebody else’s route.

REFLECTION
One shallow step is invisible to most people and decisive for others. For someone using a wheelchair, a frame or a pram, that lip at the threshold is not a detail but a fact about where the day can go, and routes get planned around it long before anyone arrives. A place can be open and still closed by four inches of stone.
Notice the thresholds on a street you use. If a step belongs to somewhere you have influence, a portable ramp or a marked side entrance changes who the door is for. If it does not, mentioning it to whoever owns the building still matters.
Which barrier do you walk over without ever seeing it?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
