Yesterday afternoon the Board of Supervisors voted 10-1 in favor of a measure that would allow $528,774 to be spent on the construction of a wheelchair ramp that would make the board president's podium, which is five steps above the chamber's floor, accessible to people who use a wheelchair. Former Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier, who uses a wheelchair, pushed for years to make the podium wheelchair accessible. [SF Gate]
