Harrison, who has transverse myelitis, focused her energy on broken,
obstructed sidewalks and curb ramps. She built a coalition that held a “Roll a
Mile in our Wheels” event.
“We got rental wheelchairs and got
city officials to go a mile on both sides of a street.
They were embarrassed by
the conditions,” she says.
“They were scared because they were so close
to traffic without any buffer or protection for pedestrians.
They saw how
little it took for a wheel to get stuck in a sidewalk crack or a bumpy/poorly
constructed curb cut.”
greetings from me in Indonesia for all have a nice day
