The Struggle with Where the Sidewalks Won't Go
Empathy is a big way to raise awareness.<p>When I had kids and started walking them around in a stroller, you learn really quickly where the sidewalks with ramps are, and you (and your toddler who likes to help!) come to appreciate the buttons that open doors automatically.<p>I run as well, and it's not fun to trip on uneven sidewalks. Sometimes at night I'd rather run on the road where I can count on a more even surface and no branches hitting me in the face. I think I'm more inclined to shovel my sidewalk in the winter because I don't like running on compressed snow that melted in the sun and refroze overnight.<p>So...yeah! Fix this stuff for disabled people, and other people get to benefit. Sidewalks are for everyone.
