At @InclusiveMAP we're traveling w/ disabled people as they use cycle lanes (w/ wheeled mobility devices & cycles) in metro Van. They tell us interactions w/cyclists are a concern in several ways. @jonvhernandez/@CBCStephenQuinn we'd love to talk to you about what we're learning!

A blind woman has gone to the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal alleging the City of Maple Ridge has discriminated against her by making roundabouts and bike lanes that are unsafe for people with disabilities. buff.ly/3ZeipMl
