Honestly, I know there are problems here, but this is an AODA violation, and opens the city to lawsuits. Are they idiots or malicious? Also is 'they' WRPS, city, or region?
And most of all, why do we suck so bad?
Definitely idiots. But as it is said, sufficiently advanced idiocy is indistinguishable from malice.
Clearly, the fences should have been installed far enough apart that there was still enough space between them to allow wheelchairs to pass through easily.
What this tells us is that many people are still not thinking about all users of space when they make plans.
It’s debatable what measures should be taken to control what happens on St. Patrick’s day; but it’s not debatable that people in wheelchairs need to have, in practice, the same rights as everybody else.
