Devin Chausse -- will anyone listen to his storyboard?

Posted by Devin Chausse,

My mobility aids are Canadian Crutches.

Using my crutches to traverse an uneven brick sidewalk with cracks and pieces missing brings up the question of whether I can remain on my feet or trip and fall.

I work in the South End and on Appleton St. there are a couple of places where the bricks are just gone. One place they had a traffic cone where the bricks had fallen in- If I hadn’t noticed it, I could have been severely injured.

Brick is tough on my knees. Because it is so uneven, I get pretty severe pain in my knee joints after walking a few blocks.

I often stumble because of the unevenness.

I haven’t fallen yet but I almost have -- especially at night when I stumble.

Why they haven't taken up the brick

Because they want to paint a picture and its about neighborhood beautification. It’s all about bringing people into the city and not about the people who live here.

I hope these storyboards

Will turn these words into action and make the city do what it’s responsible to do.
