HANDICAP: Keep things more accessible

| July 24, 2024 1:00 AM

I am writing in response to the article entitled “Misuse of Spokane River Ramp May Force Removal.” I can relate to the frustrations of Ms. Burdett, who is wheelchair bound, when everyone but the mobility impaired are using the ramp for river fun.

This same thing happens with handicapped parking spaces. Drivers, without handicap placards or plates, use the spaces close to the entrance because they just want to run in, get something quick and be right out. It just happened to me at Super 1 on U.S. 95 and Kathleen. Thankfully, I’m not in a wheelchair, but I am mobility impaired and I signify that with my state issued handicap license plate.
