closed: Resolved #204841

Accessibility Problem:

Other: The post office on S. Walnut St. has no disabled accessible sidewalk or way to get into the building from the sidewalk on Walnut Street. You have to walk in the road in the parking lot to get to the door of the post office because there’s no sidewalk connecting the sidewalk on Walnut Street to the front door of the building. I got run into buy a car backing out of a parking spot today and I’m a blind person using a white cane for mobility.

Sent the following: I'm so sorry to hear about this. I hope you weren't injured! You are correct, there sure isn't a sidewalk that would get you from the sidewalk to building without going through a drive around/parking lot area. However, this is a federal building and we have no jurisdiction over them at all. What did they say when you reported this to them? If you didn't I sure would suggest it. The only way they will ever make a change is if somebody lets them know it's an issue. And that, of course, doesn't guarantee it, but at least it's a start for them to know it's a problem and why. Let me know if I can support you in any other way.
