WHEELCHAIR USERS CANNOT SEE WHAT’S COMING BEFORE CROSSING BUSY ALTON ROAD AND LINCOLN ROAD IN MIAMI BEACH
Every wheelchair user’s safety is threatened by bollards along Lincoln Road at Alton Road in Miami Beach.
The car in the photo is a lane over.
It’s impossible to see what’s coming
north on the closest lane.
We all know Miami drivers run red
lights serially.
The bollards are there on the one in 1
in 10 million chance that a terrorist drives onto Lincoln Road.
In an urban area that consistently
rates as one of the most dangerous for pedestrians, the odds of an accident
because of the bollards are probably 1 in 10,000.
Very bad planning guards against the extreme
outlier while ruining independence, inclusion, mobility and dignity of all
people with disabilities.
