How does taking away benches not violate the ADA? Don't pregnant women, the elderly and disabled people need them?

This has been reposted so many times over the years, did they ever end up replacing those benches?
They were reinstalled days later after the backlash. Their spokesperson was spewing all kinds of BS. “The tweet was a mistake” “the benches were unsanitary” etc. I’m not sure if these are the same as the benches before before it looks like they’d be hard to lie down on anyway.
Suburban comments on how horrible this is, try living around the homeless. 90% are mentally ill and wont take help or goto a shelter. But they will piss and shit all over your property. Steal anything not bolted down and assault you on a whim.
But yeah I should be more compassionate from the same people that never have to deal w/ this issue. I would love to see how long the homeless would last in the more affluent community.
Everybody in this thread apparently has never had to deal with the homeless. They're an actual health hazard and hazard in general with many being violent or on drugs.
