Wow. There are now 3 separate entities within the city needed to determine how best to make the city accessible? How much is the city paying for these 3 groups who on their own cannot determine what is needed for accessibility? It seems that every week the city is announcing a new position, department, commission, etc.
With three now helping with making things accessible maybe that’s why things are not. I had been trying to get parking back to the new building on Broadway and Temple as the handicapped can no longer go there as their parking has been taken over for bike use. Seems the logic here is backwards. Maybe we need four now and have one overlook the others? Being less mobile now one gets to notice these things.
