Public Health PLUS

I just had a Handicap parking sign installed in front of my house due to the aftereffects of a stroke. Cars with no decal are parking there. A grey Toyota is there now.

Car parked on sidewalk

No sidewalk. Bike lane overgrown.

Also parking, if I could double categorize this.
Cars this morning blocking the curb cut for access to the park for people with disabilities. As mentioned in previous tickets, this may be night shift workers at Yale Health, so you may not see it unless you're on Bristol St before 9a

The sidewalk at the northwest corner of the intersection between Edgewood and Pendleton is not ground down, forcing wheelchair users into the street and off the sidewalk while making their way into the park.

I'm not sure what to report because I'm not sure what this structure that runs the length of Clark St. is or why it's here.

"A short trip to the ER" was never meant to refer to this definition of "trip." Yale may own this property and may be responsible for the cost of repairs but the case law is very clear,

"Title II’s prohibition of discrimination in the provision of
public services applies to the maintenance of public sidewalks, which is a normal function of a municipal entity." Barden v Sacramento, Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals, June 12, 2002.

This wide, curving, pot hole-filled, one-way road that has broken or entirely lacks sidewalks on parts of both sides is designed to encourage speeding drivers and make it dangerous for people walking or using micromobility vehicles. Redesign is desperately needed. Think smooth sidewalks that don’t flood, (contraflow) micromobility lanes, etc. Might be worth limiting car access to residents.

These may have been repaired since I toured our Public Schools, There are (or were) hazardous violations of Federal law on both sides of the entrance to the Montessori School On Edgewood.

This woman is riding her wheelchair in the roadway to get from the entrance to St. Raphael's Hospital to the municipal parking lot across the street because the sidewalk - from a hospital to a municipal parking lot directly across the street - is not traversable to someone in a wheelchair.

Why was this allowed to happen? Disparate Impact is the inevitable result of discrimination against people with disabilities. When an urban municipality does not meet its obligations to provide access to people with disabilities, that discrimination will fall disproportionately on low-income communities and in America that means non-white communities.

This neighborhood, according to Datahaven is 22% White..
