 Growing up in Minnesota, I had never heard Margot’s name. I think it is important to understand her impact on many spaces that so many of us navigate without thinking about barriers in our abelist world.
This obituary describes a portage that Margot completed and was my resource image for this portrait. https://www.greglais.com/post/margot-imdieke-cross-1956-2024 This is a small blurb about Margot for the Minnesota Council of Disability: She served as the State of Minnesota’s only accessibility specialist consulting on a range of notable projects, including the new Minnesota Senate Building, State Capitol Complex renovations, Target Field, U.S. Bank Stadium, CHS Field, Allianz Field, and Target Center renovations, to name a few. She authored expert opinions on countless administrative rules, state and federal access codes, the Rehabilitation Act, and so much more. In keeping with her love of the great outdoors, she championed significant accessibility investments in Minnesota State Parks and Trails.
