Vancouver has banned doorknobs. Starting in March 2014, all new buildings erected in the city will have to include lever handles on their doors rather than rounded knobs, thanks to a bylaw passed in late September to make Vancouver's housing more accessible to all.LINK 4951

@FoFa:
 
I like not having to touch a door knob. A push of the elbow is so much better for germ avoidance.
 
Wish we had this too.

@Annie: But it doesn't take a law, most buildings don't have door knobs today anyway.

I have nothing against knobs. I'm even thinking of starting up a pro-knob group! Emoticon 4951

@FoFa:  The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 required all public buildings have access ramps, doors that can be opened by handicapped, etc. Edited:  The ADA also initially included all workplaces, but the petrochemical industry (and several others) sued (and won) on the basis that retrofitting refineries and chemical plants so that handicapped could work in the field would put them out of business.  We still had to modify all office buildings to meet ADA.
