I have multiple sclerosis and although I
still manage to get by on my own, recently (Feb. 24) a simple
walk was impossible due to the shape of the city's
sidewalks
Approximately near the supper hour I left my
residence at Robin's Nest Co-op on Paris Street walking toward
Walford Road. I trudged through the tricky ice, snow, and
slush. Even on a cleanly plowed route, my careful walk is
always rather a snail's pace, using a necessary cane to aid my
troubled leg.
Thankfully, a most the helpful transit driver
of the bus I was attempting to catch kindly helped me.
Shouldn't the residents of Sudbury have
sidewalks on public streets cleared to allow for basic
walking?
I happen to know a number of disabled
citizens who are hostages at home due to these terrible
sidewalks in the city.
