we are moving to a new building in the summer. this will mean having to cross my least favorite intersection in the city every day. this sucks! I hope there are some good parts to this new building that was just built.

@bmoore123 wait.. what? I thought you were staying put because cheap?

@pen_and_pixel no, work is moving. not me personally.

technolass,

@bmoore123 It's 2024. Have they incorporated a transporter platform into this new building? If not, it's time to contact the AODA. GRIN!

@technolass going next week to actually map out the route and things. avoiding that intersection might be worht a couple of blocks detour. There also might be an inside way but the dowtown path as they call it is super confusing as a blind person.

rowdyamerican,

@bmoore123 @technolass What intersection are you trying to avoid Brian? Just curious.

@rowdyamerican @technolass front street and York street and University avenue all come together at front street in this weird configuration and it is pretty difficult to know when to cross.

gtbray,

@technolass @bmoore123 why would he contact them? i mean he does actually want something done right?

@gtbray @technolass yes, their enforcement seems to consist of photo opps and public education campaigns which consist of "be nice to the handicap, they pretend to be people too."

technolass,

@gtbray @bmoore123 Ah. Point taken. I always kind of have to smile though when I hear AODA, because in the US that stands for Alcohol and Drug Abuse, so it took me a while to understand what it was whenever I saw it used by someone in Ontario.

gtbray,

@technolass @bmoore123 it should be called say nothing do nothing

bmoore123,
@bmoore123@disabled.social avatar

@gtbray @technolass yes, it really should.

gtbray,

@bmoore123 @technolass we both have been at conferences where they talk about all the changes that just bloody well never happen.

@gtbray @technolass no and the current government has stated publically that those red tape regulations are against our open for business agenda so there will be no enforcement.

blindbat84,

@bmoore123 Moving sucks, be it across town or state or country, ugh. I hope it all goes well and that it is worth the move.

@blindbat84 work not me personally. it will just suck going to this new building becausee of where it is.

blindbat84,

@bmoore123 Oh! Work, not you facepalm I totally missed that. I hope the new building is nice.
