Oops...

I went to the New Orleans CBD Rouse's on Girod and Baronne Streets yesterday. As I left the store out back to the railway station I noticed the sidewalk was raised with stairs for about five feet. At the end of the sidewalk at O'Keefe Avenue, there were two perfect ADA wheelchair access ramps.

This is a HUGE mistake!

 

Nobody in a wheelchair can navigate this sidewalk. They have to go OUT into the parking lot and try to get into the rear entrance that way, or go around the corner and come in at Girod Street.

 

To the architects, engineers, contractors and public officials responsible for this snafu, all I need to do is quote what a certain St. Louis Cardinals fan said to liberal protestors during the Bush years: 

 

"Get a BRAIN! Morans."
