Raised crosswalks are not accessible

Raised sidewalks in Erin Ridge are inaccessible for those with canes, walkers or wheelchairs. As a senior who requires at least one of these walking aids, I am stuck whenever I encounter one.

Why don't you just ban cars completely and get it over with? Or make them drive backwards with one hand on the wheel and one eye open!

Because demanding a senior instantly become young enough to cross a raised sidewalk crossing violates the laws of linear time.

Canes, walkers and wheelchairs assist those with difficulty walking. They are neither time machines nor a Hovercraft. They are unstable on uneven raised sidewalk crossings built in Erin Ridge.
