Olive/Lindell Becoming More Accessible
Some streets are more accessible than others, Olive Street was kinda in the middle of the pack based on my experience. But lately the city has been working hard to replace poorly designed ADA ramps and install ramps where none existed. On a recent trip on the #10 bus I photographed some of the improvements.
North Beaumont St. was a point where no ramp existed on the west side of the street. When I used to vote at the Heritage House across Olive I had to find mid-block points to cross from east to west. Crews have worked very fast too.
I went to the optical place in Lindell Marketplace at Lindell & Sarah recently, when I arrived equipment was ready to bust out the old. By the time I left my eye exam the old was gone, presenting a bit of s challenge for me. A week later when I returned to get my new glasses I had a contingency plan on hoe to reach my destination but it wasn’t needed, the new ramps were finished.
