Saver curb cuts, smoother sidewalks

I use a wheelchair, and would like to see the traffic on Mass Ave more controlled and the speeding eliminated. 

Too many times I have watched drivers stop for pedestrians in a crosswalk, only to have other drivers go by in the second lane. 

I'm looking forward to the improvements in wheelchair curb cuts and smooth sidewalks.  Next time you walk down Mass Ave, take notice of the poorly built and dangerous curb cuts, and the cracked sidewalks. 

I would also like to see the stores and restaurants on Mass Ave made wheelchair accessible.
