Thank you so much for printing Ms Beck-Massey’s letter regarding the city’s disregard for the disabled. As a bus rider I have had to stand on 3 foot tall blocks of ice to wait for a bus-like a lone penguin. Impossible for someone with special mobility needs. I have not seen an elderly person nor a wheelchair on my bus for a month. Shame on the city of Denver for forcing such a large number of the population to be housebound.
I was able to assist a blind man this week who had made a wrong turn and was trying to walk through 12 inch deep ruts of slush and ice. No one stopped to ask if we needed help. No one slowed down as they continued to race through the empty lot. No one apoligized for throwing slush on us. I had to watch his feet-my feet- and his dog’s feet as we made our way to Evans. One man found our situation most amusing as he cruised by in his SUV. Ms Beck-Massey is right-In a dire situation-Denver would most certainly fail, at least for the disabled-the poor and the elderly.
