Reply to comment by Red__dead in Expanded sidewalks and open streets are game changers for People with Disabilities by CHEKPEDS

Every thread there’s a comment about how someone might need to drive their ailing parent into the city and therefore improving streets for pedestrians is an attack on their family.

I’ve been the ailing person who had to be driven to the hospital so I get that it has to happen. With that said, I work near a hospital and the drivers around there are awful. I avoid the block with the entrance to the hospital parking garage because I’ve had too many close calls with drivers making left turns out of the right lane or turning right on red without looking for pedestrians.
