Unfortunate though that the entrances both have to step up in through the doors.

If only Alberta had accessibility legislation like in Ontario with their Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) that requires all buildings to be fully accessible by 2025.

I'm definitely no expert but it seems to me it would just be good business to make sure in a project like this, your building comes out fully accessible.

Are we sure that this building is not accessible as per new building code.

Well looking at the picture if it is accessible it's maybe at the back of the building because the front along the sidewalk doesn't appear to be.

I was wondering about that myself, there must be some additon to remove that grade differentiation like a ramp or something simliar, as no entrance right now appears to be fully accessible.

While I completely get why they added these... I can't imagine seeing these on a building adjacent to a lot you might be looking to redevelop would instill much investor confidence in the area. :/

I don't think we should shame the installation of rolling shutters, and I would be happy to see them encouraged and normalized in any part of town. It's higher risk in Chinatown of course, but if installing shutters can give business owners peace of mind, then I'm all for it - anything to give some comfort that your front window isn't going to be smashed overnight while you're at home is a good thing, it doesn't matter what neighbourhood it is.
And I think shutters, which are usually only closed overnight are a better look than window bars, which are always present.

NYC uses these (obviously only when the business is closed) in many trendy areas.

They should paint murals on these roll-ups before the taggers take charge.

Yes, I remember seeing these when I walked through a decent area of New York after the stores closed. In some ways, unfortunately just part of being a big city.

Are these really better looking and less off-putting than decent quality window bars? In any case, I would still far prefer to live in a city that does what's needed to curb social disorder instead of normalizing burdening private citizens. 🤷♂️

Yes in an ideal world, they wouldn't be needed. However, they are also better than boarded up smashed windows.
