NO ACCESS FOR MOBILITY DEVICES DURING THE WINTER SNOW

Unfortunately, many of the disabled community live in an environment where landlords and property managers envisioned them as less than human.  Despite laws to protect the visually, physically, and developmentally challenged of the world, these landlords and property managers persist on inhumane and disrespectful treatment.  Take a look at the photos below, and give your comment and recommendations.  Perhaps together we can make a better world for all those challenged in one form or another.

DURING THE WINTER MONTHS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT SNOWS, IT CAN BE A HARROWING EXPERIENCE, AS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT IS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT A MOBILITY SCOOTER CAN TRAVERSE OVER SNOWY GRASS MUCH LIKE SKIES OR A SNOWBOARD. THEIR RESPONSE TO ALL THIS IS FOR THE MULTI-DISABLED TENANT TO GO OUT THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.  IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE ALSO UNDER THE ILLUSION THAT A MOBILITY SCOOTER CAN IMPERSONATE A HELICOPTER.

ROLATORS, WALKERS, CANADIAN CRUTCHES, REGULAR CRUTCHES, MANUEL WHEELCHAIRS, MOBILITY SCOOTERS, POWER CHAIRS CANNOT MANEUVER ON SIDEWALKS LIKE THESE. (SEE PHOTO BELOW)

 

PRIOR TO REACHING THE SIDEWALK, THE MOBILITY SCOOTER MUST TRAVEL APPROXIMATELY 15 TO 25 FEET IN THE GRASS AS THE PATIO FACES THE REAR OF THE BUILDING (SEE PHOTO BELOW).
