MORE ACCESSIBLE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
Myth #3: People with disabilities are
outliers, a fringe special interest.
The problem wasn’t buses, it was the sidewalks and built environment beyond the bus stop. Missing sidewalks, broken sidewalks, dangerous crosswalks, flooded curb ramps, and inaccessible buildings and facilities were why 75–99% of the city was off-limits to people with disabilities.
Researchers emphasized
that these segregating, isolating numbers are not unique to Columbus, but
typical of all cities that neglect pedestrian connectivity and wheelchair
mobility.
