Howdy Y'all

Think about this for just a second...if cities around the country began to alter the public streets so that non-disabled people could not use many of those roads without suffering acute physical pain, would your average non-disabled driver/taxpayer just silently accept it as a good national policy? So why should the disabled population and the elderly in America accept traffic calming devices and methods which physically cause them unnecessary pain? Why not allow the disabled and elderly a voice in traffic calming projects and allow those residents to point out reasonable problems in those plans.
The City of Austin Public Works and Transportation Dept made a "mistake" and this website is the result of that "mistake."
As to whom I am...I am nobody, just John Q. Public, I am not a mover or a shaker here in Austin.
In truth I have lived in Austin all my life and at the age of 23 was involved in an "event" which left me disabled, I am now 47. This is what I used to do for a living..... this is how I became disabled and what followed.
This website would never have happened if the Austin Public Works and Transportation Dept had fairly and reasonably approuched ALL residents in the Bouldin Creek neighborhood with the information that there would betraffic calming pilot project workshops held. In doing so the PWT denied the disabled residents in Bouldin Creek a reasonable voice in the TC planning process.
This is how the Austin PWT hid the traffic calming process from the Bouldin Creek residents, and the public at large.
