My neighborhood (in another city) doesn't even have sidewalks (I've written a few emotional letters but of course it is too expensive ) Walking in the street is the norm and I have a morbid thought that maybe, just maybe, if I get run down walking in the street that we will finally get our sidewalks. sometimes I think cities are more reactive than they are proactive.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01521862309445158614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-46397263725706386542014-05-17T12:41:17.155-07:002014-05-17T12:41:17.155-07:00Convenience?

You know, this shows my basic ignorance, but I didn't realize how hard it could be to navigate a sidewalk in a wheelchair until I went with my friend Liz into downtown Tampa a couple summers ago. I'd assumed curb cuts had been completed in most places. Not at all! And sadly that seems to be the case in many neighborhoods. I hope your letter gets results.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-5672430673423012222014-05-16T21:45:02.597-07:002014-05-16T21:45:02.597-07:00He will listen.
