Yes, I know I can walk around it, hence the mildly infuriating. Still a d*ck move

    You can walk around them, people in a wheelchair or with a buggy cannot. Disrespectful af.

      Even just people with luggage and baby strollers are fucked. People who are blind also are really disadvantaged here. The scars on the shins of people who have used a white cane for years are numerous.

      I’m a fan of fewer cars on the road, but things like this are also reasons why we need still some forms of direct transport access. Travelling a few blocks from a public transport stop can still be filled with hazards like this that prevent people from arriving at their destination.

      It’s not an old video game. They’re not immovable parts of the level design. You can likely move or bump them out of the way enough to pass through.

      Meanwhile right next to them is a huge metal box that stole 4 times as much sidewalk, transported half as many people and is literally un-moveable if you’re not in a heavy motorized vehicle.
