All of the curbs are already sloped and are wide enough to wheelchair access. However they are putting in a two foot white section of bricks with bumps on them, supposedly for traction though I've seen more than one instance downtown where these bumps have been worn down to nothing and not replaced. And it doesn't seem to me that two feet is just narrow enough so that it would nicely pass under both wheels of most chairs, not that I'm an expert of chairs.<br /><br />So the retarded monkeys win again!Uvulapiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16068573155127180094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922406315694229459.post-69285288687998519702010-04-26T02:27:07.358-07:002010-04-26T02:27:07.358-07:00Nothing like having a bowl-side seat, as your tax ...Nothing like having a bowl-side seat, as your tax dollars are being flushed down the toilet of bureaucratic balderdash. I feel your frustration. And I resent the misuse of other folks' hard earned money, spent in the name of doing stuff for folks like me that was neither needed nor wished for.<br /><br />As pointless and wasteful as it all is, I hope they <i>at least</i> do a decent job of sloping the unnecessary curb cuts. I can attest (from much personal experience) that a high percentage of curb cuts around this once great (but still pretty darn good) nation of ours were installed by retarded monkeys. It had to be retarded monkeys, because a retarded human would've taken one look at the dimensions required for a safe curb cut, and the dimensions of the curb cuts that are too often sloppily constructed, and would've said, "Hey, that ain't right." But a retarded monkey just shrugs and says, "oo-oo ee-ee oo" -- and then goes and takes a nap in the truck (as visions of overtime pay dance in his undersized cranium).<br /><br />But what can you do? If you complain too much, you'll be accused of hating either wheelchair users, retarded monkeys, or both. Or maybe they'll just say you hate America. Either way, they'll bend you over, like Ned Beaty in <i>Deliverance</i>, and...well,....do to you what they're doing to our country as a whole (no phonetic pun intended). <br /><br />Perhaps you can assuage your frustration by making another pilgrimage to the Black Buggy (which your wife reviewed earlier). I'll wager that a piece of their coconut cream pie will put all the nonsense of the world into a healthier perspective.KnotOnABloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01560852606427373884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922406315694229459.post-62577425298654671172010-04-16T08:50:03.581-07:002010-04-16T08:50:03.581-07:00Correction: I counted and there are exactly 50 cu...Correction: I counted and there are exactly 50 curbs being "fixed" plus another ten I saw on State Street. Plus the road sign said that construction spanned 1.3 miles. Just keepin' it real.Uvulapiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16068573155127180094noreply@blogger.com
