 It gets so bad that sometimes I have to drive myself into a snow bank so that I can get somebody to take a picture and send it into my local paper just to highlight the issue. Snowstorms in poorly plowed sidewalks in Boston are making it difficult for people with disabilities to travel around the city. Mara Mazaka is blind and works for the BCIL, an organization that provides services to people with disabilities. She says she's afraid of falling while walking around the city. I am afraid I'm going to slip because I can't always tell if it's icy out. It seems like it's icy so I go very slowly. Rob Park also works for the BCIL. His wife was killed after being hit by a car. She was driving her wheelchair in the street because the sidewalk was not plowed. People with disabilities are out and about more than ever before. And we deserve the same access as anybody else who doesn't have a disability. Members of the BCIL are currently asking city officials to implement more ramps in the city, specifically in Beacon Hill. But both Mazaka and Park say they think it will be a while before they see any type of change. Reporting for BUTV, I'm Alessandra Marandola.
