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.
