A CITY THAT LOVES ITS SIDEWALKS SERVES 100 PERCENT OF ITS CONSTITUENTS
Disability is a normal part of life.
WHO stats count more than 1 billion PWDs on earth and
one in five experiencing some level of disability.
Fixing
sidewalks, pathways and connectivity is the best way to boost quality of life
for PWDs.
Regulations
must be enacted to protect sidewalks from abandoned dockless scooters creating
impossible barriers on the sidewalk and its brethren curb ramp and cross walk.
Policy must
ensure that sidewalk funds are distributed to poor and marginalized
neighborhoods – not simply CBDs, tourist and influential areas.
