Is it possible to go through the Otay crossing (one of three ports of entry (POE) in the San Diego–Tijuana metropolitan region) as a pedestrian without taking any stair (e.g., in case of wheelchair or heavy luggage)?

From what I recall last time I crossed there, I crossed a bridge (which goes over the cars queuing to enter Mexico) and went through some stairs to enter and exit the bridge. Is there some way around it?

There are ramps to/from the bridge over the freeway.

The rotating gate might seem like an obstacle, but I believe it is quite large/wide. There are a lot of people who pass through these with large parcels, crates, trolleys, luggage, strollers, etc. I imagine a wheelchair should be fine but I haven't seen anyone pass through with these.

Here is a screenshot from Google Street View showing the gate. That could be another gate to the left of the fence, but it doesn't look like that actually has access from the ramp.
