Mr. Healey and Those Ever Changing Laws

Little noticed by most is the importance of the ADA and its impact on making life accessible to ALL.

.

When Middleboro's Town Hall was renovated, the parking lot was re-paved and the pavement markings were painted. The HP spaces were appropriately marked on the pavement.

.

Repeated requests to re-install the vertical markers were ignored.

.

Since important meetings transpire at night, sometimes in the rain or with snow-covered ground, the pavement marking was frequently obscured.

.

A written request was filed with Mr. Healey, self-appointed ADA Coordinator and ignored.

.

A complaint was filed with the state that prompted a resolution, a minor project.

.

Mr. Healey's public explanation at a BOS Meeting was that the state keeps changing the laws.

.

Huh?

.

There's the oft-repeated story of Mr. Healey bursting into uproarious laughter from his office as the wheel-chair bound Commissioner tipped over because the walk was uneven.

.

Maybe that's why all of the other issues regarding flawed curb cuts and building access were dismissed or ignored by Mr. Healey: they just keep changing the laws!
