A SQUEAKY WHEEL GUIDE 11

TO LOCAL ADVOCACY
Harrison is quick to point out that while this built awareness, it did not give the officials the true experience of navigating endless barriers while using a wheelchair for mobility. 

“We said if you get stuck, you can get up and move around — we can’t. 

One guy got so tired of getting stuck that he got out and started pushing his wheelchair. 

`Get back in,’ we said, `we don’t have that option and you need to experience this.’”

Local and state transportation officials are holding a meeting to follow up with a plan, budget and timeline for fixing sidewalks.
