She is still searching for common ground and working to get
the city’s bike-pedestrian point person to create a design solution.
Tamley points to a similar battle in
her city to show that persistence can pay off.
In Chicago, Tamley says the
input of the disability community ensured the city heavily regulated
micromobility (dockless rental bikes and scooters) in a pilot program.
While
many cities have suffered from discarded scooters dangerously blocking
sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks, bus stops and more, Chicago minimized the
impact to wheelchair users and pedestrians by tightening rules on locations of
use and corralling the devices.
