I do quite a bit of ADA work for employers and companies.
My two favorites:
Due to the ADA, small event center in a small town's "downtown" area has to build a ramp from the sidewalk to the main door. The problem? The sidewalk itself has no ramp and is about 24 inches higher than the road. No one in a wheelchair could come close to getting up on that sidewalk.
Small antique store remodels, has to put in braille signs for the bathrooms. Store was open five years, never had a blind customer and could have easily had an employee direct someone blind to the restroom.
The worse thing La. did was give fire marshal's ADA compliance responsibilities. Need building clearance from the fire marshal? You better comply with the ADA.

It's always fun in NOLA when you get a head to head between ADA advocates and preservationists. There's a suit out there right now against the RTA because the green streetcars aren't wheelchair accessible. Never mind the damn things were built in the 20's.

I have often wondered how a blind person finds the signs. It seems like it would be like finding a needle in a haystack. All that space and area and the sign is what 12x12"....
