Re: 鈥淒espite critics, Victoria鈥檚 new bike lanes win award,鈥� Sept. 14.
It鈥檚 just remarkable that Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps and her council can build bike lanes with floating bus stops endangering blind and elderly pedestrians, but then receive a provincial award. Maybe we should resurrect Sir John A. Macdonald and give him an award for supporting residential schools.
The province, Victoria council and the media are all complicit in deliberately ignoring this safety exclusion of the disadvantaged.
sa国际传媒 seems to harbour a caste system, with the blind as the 鈥渦ntouchables.鈥�
Despite a human-rights claim and prior input from many quarters, the desire for green bike lanes trumps any responsibility to follow international design codes. Unbelievably, blind Canadians are denied inclusion and justice because those in power with a green agenda refuse to honour fairness and respect for the vulnerable.
What has happened to honesty and basic ethics?
