Summary

the walk was alright, but tiring, due to my level of fitness. We discovered many places. The walk is not as fun as you would picture it if your on a wheelchair. It would really just be a hard.

Description

We had to find out if the roads were safe for the people with disabilities such as blindness, wheelchair, etc. most areas we new and the other were pretty old and cracks most of the time.

The roads need to be smooth for the people in wheelchairs or else the experience will be bumpy. The blind people need to have circle paving for the end of the road, so that there won't be a accident.

Their is a Gazebo, but people in wheelchairs can't get up on it. There is not much shade in the area. The footpath is a bit rough and not smooth, causing problems for wheelchair people

2. Milner Street

The streets are new but not wide. They have tactile paving for people who are blind. There are also traffic lights, so that wheelchair people can cross the road and also there are speed bumps for cars

The footpath is not complete and is dangerous for people who are crossing. The footpaths were uneven and were rough and are a serious hazard for the people with disabilities.

The footpath is steep and is a big struggle for those in wheelchairs. Their are children crossing areas for those to cross if you are a child. Some of the roads are not wide enough and are dense.
