The street I live on doesn't have continuous #sidewalks (because #Vancouver can't afford nice things), it has #FreeParking on both sides, there's enough space for one car to pass and a bit of extra room. Similar to the picture.

People walk on the road. Some drivers slow down when passing, but most maintain the speed.

It's terrifying. I got used to it when biking, but sharing the road with vehicles when #walking is a whole new thing. What should I do, tAkE tHe LanE? Ridiculous.

And for the side walks we do have, I think #Vancouver is on track to have #Curbcuts for #disabled residents
— also good for strollers and everyone else who benefits from disabled people being listened to — in 200 years

“When I do presentations I often contrast curb cuts complaint in Seattle vs Vancouver. At the same time I was advocating for increase in budget and speed to ramp the 8,000 of 27,000 corners w/out curb cuts & to fix the terrible design/maintenance, someone was doing same in Seattle”

@AccordionBruce @Anibyl @mssinenomine #Curbcuts are a sap to #carbrain and #motonormativity. All curb cuts should be replaced by either a very slow ramp or, when crossing a street, a raised crosswalk. There should be no descent. Such a descent is an invitation to flood and a general pain in the ass for people in wheelchairs or walkers and pedestrians where flooding occurs. The steep grade of a curbcut violates the #ADA act.
@Iragersh @Anibyl @mssinenomine
Raised crosswalks — giant speed bumps at every corner — would require quite a shift in this car-centric world
