CONSTRUCTION THAT CREATES BARRIERS DESTROYS INDEPENDENCE AND DIGNITY FOR THOSE WHO USE ASSSTIVE MOBILITY DEVICES
The triumph
and failure of cities can be evaluated in the way they accommodate the
vulnerable pedestrian population.
In the case
of Miami, its inhumanity shows abject failure.
This is the gateway between two of Miami’s biggest icons — the waterfront
skyscraper Brickell district and culturally vibrant historic Little Havana.
Yet it
blocks people with disabilities and is a tripping hazard to all with bumpy
crappy asphalt.
This is an
Americans with Disabilities Act violation.
Barriers created by construction then neglected for ages strip all independence and dignitiy for those who uses wheelchairs for mobility.
