@todd_irvine @CabbagetownBIA @bienenstock @kristynwongtam When your toll is a hammer - everything looks a whole lot like a nail.
Where can a human being pee or use washroom in Cabbagetown? Nowhere.
Where can a person in a wheelchair buy a coffee or groceries? Nowhere.

Retweeted by David Lepofsky @tkurdi @DavidLepofsky @davebrownradio Pretty consistently I've observed hoardings/barrier fences/etc placed in such a way that it's difficult to mange by cane & I expect far too narrow for anything with wheels.
And of course construction vehicles using/blocking marked #accessible parking for their own convenience.
