(Also, rip this pair of shoes. They are the 5th pair where I've worn through the soles from photowalking. New pair should be here tomorrow)

213 S. Green St.: This side walk is located on Green Street in front of a parking lot. It is cracked, chipped, and has large holes missing from it. This is definitely hazardous for any pedestrians trying to use this sidewalk.

You can report any hazardous sidewalks in the greater Chicagoland area by calling 311 or visiting 311.Chicago.gov for more details. If you have any pictures of dangerous sidewalks, you can tweet them to @redlineproject on Twitter.

Many years ago, the city's roads & traffic authority paid folks to paint and brighten up their dull green traffic signal control boxes. They're everywhere in the Inner West. Here's just a few examples, and one dates back as far as 2010. Annandale, Marrickville, Campsie, and the last two in Rozelle.

Every time I think about sidewalk discourse, I want to bring up the fact that sidewalks ARE accommodations. They are an assess right to everyone. They exist to lessen the burden of uneven travels for feets and wheels and hooves. That’s what pavement was created for.

So when people think it’s okay because it only hinders disabled folks (to which I say-we’re out here!), it hinders everyone.

But that’s not the point, right? An abled can walk around an obstruction.

It’s still an unnecessary minor inconvenience to the abled, and potentially a huge nuisance to a disabled person.

Whether ableds care about disabled folk, or disabled folk care about ableds in the argument— sidewalks are inherently an access feature in society. We have no right to block public access indefinitely.

Hell, in most places we are in legal obligation for safe and unobstructed assess on private property - lest we be denied service (mail) or worse, fined or even condemned.

I bring it up because of recent events in my life and because of a post I just saw.

Although, I understand that the city has actually fixed one relatively minor accessibility PITA near us! 🥳

This pedestrian/bike overpass lies on the easiest route from here to a nearby shopping center, with the closest grocery stores etc.

(Smoother paved bike lane on the left here, concrete square foot lane on the right before the bridge. With a raised curb ledge in between the two types of pavement along a lot of the length. Which makes it more aggravating to change lanes as required, if you're on wheels. I go up and down several low curbs on the way to/from the store.)

Anyway, that overpass setup would be sort of OK even with the long slog up on the way to the stores. Except!

It's actually pretty hard to see here, but where the overpass ends and the pavement changes? That's another ledge of at least a couple of inches. 😵 Just before the top of the slope, and just high enough that I've basically needed to lose whatever momentum I may have still been keeping up to pop my casters up over it. If you hit that unawares on the way up with power assist, you might go flying out of the chair.

Rolling back down the other way is way less of an issue. Down ledges is easier, and at least it is downhill when I'm likely to be loaded down with shopping too. Though, that ledge is a bit hard to see, especially after dark. It's a trip hazard even for people on foot, and I really wouldn't want to hit that very fast unawares on a bicycle or with a stroller either.

I haven't been that way yet to see, but the other day Mr. C said that they have indeed finally fixed the dropoff on the bike lane side! 👍 Hopefully the other side will get a patch job too.

Another example of what's good for cyclists often also being good for people using other wheels. And, unfortunately, it most likely taking multiple complaints from some of the cyclists it was designed/installed for before anyone considered that issue worth addressing.

I don't know if they've also patched the is smaller ledge on the other side of the bridge.

But, at least that isn't nearly as high, and it's mainly on the foot side. Barely a bump on the bike lane.
