accessible cities in Viareggio? On the 16/10/2009 Il Tirreno
carry the letter to Edmund that must make us reflect on the accessibility of our cities because it also made 'accessible' to someone means to make an environment more hospitable for all. It is necessary to educate all citizens and respect the culture of accessibility because it is useless to build slides, boards or other support structures when they are educated to respect the rules and when you do not penalize those who infringe the rules (who parks the car where it should not or who do not make available its stores for example). I, paraplegic, humiliated by the indifference and lack of control VIAREGGIO - Since 2000, paraplegic, I use a wheelchair to move. This letter is to denounce my discomfort when moving in Viareggio, but not only throughout Italy are barriers.
My anger is due to the lack of control of those who must enforce the laws. Primary responsibility is the mayor.
Since 1989 there is a law that obliges to provide for all to break down barriers, but to me it is not.
This means that those who had to carry out non dealt with it. I want to clarify and to understand that people like me feel humiliated, a national series of Q. An example: have a lift to the hospital Versilia. To take the lift "when it works," the door is spring, but if I go while I push myself, how can I do?
O open the door, or push, and I'd need a third arm to open it and enter.
gone on to another point. I'd like to know who made the walk in the parking ramps at Viareggio.
What criteria used to make angle, and if had noticed that there is a small step on the ramp, where I can flip. Disabled people are not all equal, because some have crutches, who is in a wheelchair. The question that is bothering me, because the work taking place for the disabled are not tested by those who really know the problem? Who better than a disabled person can assess whether the work was done properly?
Municipalities are in Versilia where I move, and very few are up to standard. In walk 98% have no access for the disabled, but were restored after 1989. Why are not suitable for the disabled? Because who would enforce the law has not done?
What I say I am very evil. A part of Italy is composed of Tricky, which fill their pockets with money of the citizen. I think there is more awareness of the man, just look at the disaster happened a few months ago. Italy has done so, you must wait for disaster before taking action. If I decide to go out and go to a local, I must first consider several factors, if I can get no help if the table is high enough to put the legs under. Basically I have a map where I can and where I can not ... and this list is very short, too short.
I am told that I should have a normal life, socialize and maybe have a woman, why not. I say yes I'd like to go out and move freely, but I may not, since I can not enter the vast part of the premises. Imagine how you would feel like a man or woman to enter into a lease if it is allowed to enter as a parcel from a courier.
I'd like to go out and invite a woman in a room, but I can not do as I do not give me this opportunity.
Why do I need to feel inferior to others, have limitations in the move? So I do not think anything will change. In the meantime, I offer myself to test voluntary work for disabled people, if interested I'd love to be helpful.
