[blindlaw] ADA claim?

[Craig Anderson]

Locke,

    Sorry, I haven't read the article, but what's the stated rationale for 
the exclusion?  This could seemingly be an instance where one could 
plausibly file an ADA claim, hoping primarily for political rather than 
legal success.  An obvious problem with prevailing legally is the shopping 
center's likely claim that it isn't discriminating against people with 
disabilities -- it just doesn't want busses around.  The whole thing 
nonetheless sounds quite outrageous, so good luck.

Some shopping centers in my town started prohibiting city busses from 
entering theirproperty.  I'm trying to find out if there is an ADA claim 
that could prevent the prohibition.

I have not practiced ADA law, but have an interest in helping this cause.

The article:

Upscale shopping centers shun buses

Four plazas in Raleigh now forbid city buses from entering the property, 
even the parking lots. Bus riders call the rules another indignity that poor 
shoppers
and workers must endure.
