6 February (Part 2) - Longer but safer
Until
not long ago I was a regular wheel chair pusher which is probably why I took exception to
the amateurish ramp
provided on the Crossrail relief route over the Harrow Manorway flyover.
Motorized chairs are very heavy and I immediately saw the danger of a chair toppling on the ramp shown
in Photo 1. I’ve yet to see a wheel chair user take the long route but the potential for an accident
was there unless everyone does the same as
one I spoke to on the north side. She stays there.
It was therefore especially pleasing to see that today, or maybe yesterday, the danger has been eradicated.
In place of a splodge of rough concrete there is now a neatly constructed safe ramp on both sides of
the car wash entrance, complete with tactile paving for the sightless. Much better!
