This is a letter to an association of flat owners in Spain and she's describing the improvements they have planned for this year. It wouldn't be elimination, right?, because why would they eliminate a stairway??
Para este año tenemos previsto acometer reformas tales como: la mejora del acceso a la recepción por la parte delantera con embaldosado nuevo y *supresión de escaleras* y otras barreras arquitectónicas,

can't imagine why they would want to "remove" the stairs/staircases though ...

the "handicapped" option sounds more than reasonable

Comment: "Now that I look more closely here, it must be eliminating because in this section they're fixing up the reception area, I guess to make it more accessible to the disabled. Thanks for your help."
