As a caregiver of two adults with mobility devices, one of the things I love about the county where I live is the abundance of conservation parks with accessibility features.
On the downside, they’re not fully accessible. 😕 1/2
Many of the paved paths and boardwalks are not wide enough for two wheelchairs (or a wheelchair and a stroller) to comfortably pass each other. Which means that sometimes I have to disengage one electric wheelchair and manually backup or manoeuvre to the nearest passing area, without losing track of the person with the walker. 🙃 2/2
@mycrowgirl ugh yeah… there’s this one spot near me where there is an enormous gap between the pavement and a foot bridge. The pavement settled right there and now I can’t get over that without pulling the wheelchair backwards over that spot (and it’s a big enough drop that going down it can cause the person in the chair to fall forward)
