The Struggle with Where the Sidewalks Won't Go
Empathy is a big way to raise awareness.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.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.So...yeah! Fix this stuff for disabled people, and other people get to benefit. Sidewalks are for everyone.
