I also think adding a new subtype, say, schema.org/CivicEvent, is a no-brainer. The accessibility and amenities issues should be considered more broadly - and perhaps they go with the Place rather than the Event.

That’s what I meant to say—accessibility attributes belong to the Place. And yes, amenities are also related to the Place.

In addition, I think creating markup to describe the services (the community/civic equivalent of the business-oriented http://schema.org/Offer) offered by the host (or organizer) of the CivicEvent would be helpful.

That’s possible, but I’m willing to explore a least a high level way of describing topics to be discussed at a CivicEvent.

Thanks for the feedback.
