City Endangers Disabled Citizens: Protest!

Editor's note: Part 2 our series on brick sidewalks will be delayed until Thursday, because the city's callous disregard for civil rights simply demands a response.

Despite a call to the Mayor's Hotline by Whole Foods Market manager David Cueto last Friday, the city has made no attempt to enforce civil rights laws requiring access during resurfacing projects.

As I wrote earlier, last week a contractor scraped up or "scarified" Edgerly Road in The Fenway, next to Whole Foods Market and behind the stores at Church Park.

The contractor ignored its legal responsibility to maintain access during construction by installing simple, temporary ramps.

There will therefore be a protest in front of Whole Foods Market, at Edgerly Road, today, Tuesday, May 17 at 12:30 PM.

Please come show your support for your neighbors.

People are being forced to risk their lives in the street to go shopping for food.
