Accessible Sidewalks for All
A little reminder to be mindful of where we park, place our garbage/recycling bins, or leave bikes/scooters. It might seem like no big deal if your vehicle is blocking the sidewalk, even for just a minute but for many people, especially those needing to use mobility devices, who have balance challenges, are aging or who are blind. A clear path is essential.
If your legs work, be grateful you can easily walk to where you need to go! But for others, navigating off route or stepping off curbs may not be an option for us.
When parking, even in your own driveway, please take a moment to ensure your car isn’t blocking the sidewalk. By keeping these paths clear, we help create a safer, more accessible environment for everyone.
Remember we will ALL be 80 years old one day and either ourselves or a loved ones mobility/abilities, will change.
It takes very little effort to be helpful, when we are mindful of how our actions can impact others. Let's work together to make our community more inclusive.

Both these photos have vehicles parked in driveways and both are blocking the path, making it unaccessible.
