Revised post: Access Education Day now Thursday, July 6

Posted by John B. Kelly

Edited to prevent confusion: Please come join us, Thursday, July 6, 3 p.m.-6 p.m. at the corner of Huntington and Massachusetts avenues, for Access Education Day!

People with disabilities and our allies will be educating the public about the problems with access in the Fenway-Symphony neighborhood, and throughout the city.

We will be showing off our collection of "storyboards," like Stacy Berloff's above.

We will be handing out flyers, hanging out, trying to raise awareness about how frustrating it is to be tortured in your own neighborhood by surfaces like irregular bricks and Duratherm plastic crosswalk, which are many times more expensive than concrete, and ACTUALLY VERY DANGEROUS.

Remember, every time you see a wheelchair user in the street, it is a failure of public safety.

The aesthetic preferences of a few must never outweigh the public safety rights of the many.

STOP THE DRIVE-BYS!

Important people driving by brick sidewalks in love and admiration share the street with disabled people forced to drive by in danger and frustration.
