Dear Berkeley City Council,

Nothing keeps me in better shape as a disabled senior than attempting to safely evade the parade of whizzing skateboards, bicycles, scooters, roller skaters, and unicycles which have taken over the sidewalks in my neighborhood at San Pablo and University Avenues. And I know that the vehicle drivers are much more awake once they've realized whatever the rules were about respecting the traffic lights are long gone.

Of course Rigel Robinson wants to use the sidewalks as bike lanes. What a great savings this will be once we've so thoroughly gentrified the city that the old, disabled, and otherwise in the way are packed off to places they can afford and keep up with. Ours is becoming a fast-paced, tech-driven community with no time for toddlers and dawdlers.

Thank you, Mr. Robinson, and let me know when your anti-ADA rally is going to be. I would love to be there.
