I pulled this out of the other thread because there are now multiple actions that you can take to support the sidewalk project on Tates Creek.

Wednesday, June 10th 2009.
Walk-in for Sidewalks
6PM to 8PM
Meet at BP on Tates Creek Landsdowne to Alumni.

Sign Ideas:

Sidewalks: Why not?

Green= Sidewalks

Sidewalks: Our Right of Way!

Ped Rights!

Geen LEX More Walkers LESS CARS

this issue is really buggin' me, I am sorry that I have been working and trying to reassemble my life, or I would have been involved yesterday. I know there are some political types that post here (the good kind), and I think the angle to work on this is Handicap Accessibility.

I don't know if he is still around, but I used to tend bar for a lawyer confined to a powered chair and if he could not go somewhere, or do something in that chair, he used his skills to force people to change. I don't know the rules, perhaps that only works legally against people in business, but ethically it should work here. Just imagine trying to get through there on a Hoveround.

It bothers me most that we have to argue this point, or picket, or do anything "special" to put a sidewalk past these "special" people in there "special" houses. I commented on the article in the Herald, and I'll say it here, if they don't get a sidewalk, then I will tear mine out in protest.
