IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO MARK AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS HOLE IN A MAJOR CROSSWALK WITH A CONE
When something is capable of tripping
a pedestrian or tossing a wheelchair user to the ground, we fix it immediately.
Double utility volts in the curb ramp
and uneven pavement also are epic fails of pedestrian mobility.
A bad built environment is why people
with disabilities are the most under- and unemployed of all marginalized
groups.
Acknowledging a safety threatening
hole in the crosswalk and buckled pavement, but neglecting to fix it…
This is like waiting to see a renowned cancer doctor. And she says yes, you have cancer, but I’m not going to treat it.
Pedestrians are not second class citizens.
