This is absolutely unacceptable. @AftabPureval @KearneyForCincy, the streets have now been open for three days. Love the idea of car free Main Street but this was poorly implemented and did not consider disabled people or pedestrians in general. pic.twitter.com/A8EpYJG080

We will be on site within the hour to correct the ADA violations. However the overall layout of the barricades will need to be part of a broader conversation between the City and residents and merchants.

This is a joke, right? Do I need to come down there and take a photo of myself with my cane to show how a wheelchair isn’t going to fit? This didn’t fix anything.
