A crack, hole, or rise in the surface of our streets of less than an inch or greater may sound like small potatoes to you, but try traveling between California and Market streets (including the sidewalks) in a standard or power wheelchair. It can be a jarring experience, not to mention the wear and tear on the chair. If you think I’m kidding, you are welcome to try the trip yourself. Just borrow a chair and do it. As a matter of fact, I am more than willing to let you borrow my powerchair.
Also, what idiot designed those sidewalks with the small brick surfaces. Whatever environmental impact study was conducted, obviously didn’t include their impact on the disabled. Again, try traveling down one of those sidewalks in a wheel chair. Those sidewalks are pretty, but not practical.
I could go on with the condition of the elevators to MUNI, but I can’t get past the stench.
