A hearing is set for Friday on a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit against the Wayne County Airport Authority for moving AirRide and SMART pick-up and drop-off stops to the airport's Ground Transportation Center from the arrival area of the McNamara international terminal.
The suit, filed in September, says the changes pose numerous accessibility issues in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
The suit states it was filed on behalf of Michael Harris, of Westland, who uses a wheelchair, and is the executive director of the Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America, and Karla Hudson, of East Lansing, who is blind. They are represented by Southfield attorneys Jason M. Turkish and Melissa M. Nyman.
The suit says the Ground Transportation Center presents numerous accessibility problems and is patently out of compliance with the ADA.
