WHAT KIND OF GOVERNMENT BLOCKS PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

FROM ACCESSING A SAVE, PAVED GREENWAY PATH?

Here’s an idea. An exclusionary one. 

Let’s pave miles of safe pedestrian trails ideal for wheelchair users. 

But let’s end the sidewalk before it connects to them. 

This is in Coral Gables just west of Segovia traffic circle at Granada Golf Course.

City official claims Miami-Dade County is approving a traffic circle that will fix all of this.

Looks to use like a simple few feet of concrete or asphalt would fill the gap and provide access.

Check out the image below.

Super-inviting, safe pathway.

Two blocks from Coral Gables downtown.

But this entire intersection, zero ways to access the path from city sidewalks -- if you use a wheelchair for mobility.
