Sidewalk congestion
By Julie Grimmer

Saturday
This morning at the tunnel, I witnessed two women get on their
small electric wheelchair-type vehicles and zoom on to downtown,
using the sidewalk. Now, these 2 were not handicapped in any
way. I saw both of them walking around their vehicles prior
to using them, stooping down, one even running down the street
to get something.
Why is it okay for them to
take up precious sidewalk space, forcing pedestrians to move,
when bikes are not allowed? The sidewalks are too narrow as
it is. I can understand these vehicles for people who truly
are immobile, but this just seemed rude.
