Some thoughts...
There really needs to be a place to downvote bad questions. "Is this place festive?" Really? Was that a sponsored question from TGIF? And some categories have a gazillion questions. There are 2-3 different versions of the "Live Music" question in the bars category, for example.

Google is in a position to bring massive help to disabled people if they can provide meaningful information in this area, but there's probably a need for some guidelines and a deeper understanding of the need and issues first.
Earlier in the thread I posted a request for a wheelchair question before I realised that Google already ask that question.
I have since discovered a post listing the wheelchair questions asked together with guidelines on how to answer the questions.
Not as detailed as what you are asking for but worth a look.

It would be nice to know if it's bike-friendly, with visible and protected spaces for leaving your bicycle

About Open/Concealed/No Handgun Carry:
Personally I don't own our use firearms, but here in Texas (I'm sure along with other states too) businesses are required to have signage stating if they allow open carry of handguns, concealed carry, or neither. Asking "Does this business allow open carry?", "Does this business allow concealed carry?", "Does this business allow handguns?" may help lawful gun owners identify when they should and shouldn't carry and give them a heads up to plan and safely store their gun if the business they're visiting to doesn't allow it.

Hi,
Considering the serious currency shortage that we are facing in India right now, it would be great if you ask questions for businesses like :
1. Is this place cash only?
2. Does this place accept cards?
3. Does this place accept wallet payments?
4. Does this place have contactless payments?
It would be very useful for the users to plan ahead.

I would like to suggest something before December 3, 2016.
1. A printable identification (ID) card that I can wear for doing a consecutive camera shoot. Because other person especially the owners and security guards, they are confused and intimidated why their establishments and offices where shot by my camera. I am hoping for a printable ID card that I can be shown to those who are asking. It will be better also if there a shirt with a logo of Local Guide. I know that Local Guide is voluntary and for fun and we should think also of our protection. Our place is Iligan City, island of Mindanao where lots of terror act and crimes happen. A suggestion for printable ID card is viable and if you're talking for the cost? It only cost a penny.
2. More categories that we can choose. I am looking an specific category but the drop-down list is only few.
3. A option that I can delete those inappropriate and unrelated photos of the Places. I already reported to those pictures that needs to be deleted but they weren't took down. Reporting photos is different from deleting. I would like suggest for a button for "Delete or Suggest to delete". I also found a lot of selfies in the pictures with a massive faces in the cam.
4. Hope the Google Street View car will visit us again.
