Seems Schwarz has a propensity for suing. Here's a letter to the editor he wrote on November 13 about speed bumps. He states in his last sentences about suing the District Development because he can!
To the Editor:
I choose to write the better solution, which may be better or unacceptable.
I notice that none has mentioned the rumble strips. First of all, speed bumps, do not effectively reduce speeds and can prove hazardous. Why? They often increase their speed after stopping at the speed bumps! However, obviously, on the multi-modal paths, the current speed bumps are causing pain and injury to some Villagers with disabilities, especially in the golf carts (as compared to automobiles). The devices limit their access to public rights-of-ways, guaranteed under the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act).
Why not using the rumble strips (intermittent series of small bumps across the path) (with gaps for cyclists) – this idea merely to warn the golf cart drivers to slow down.
Our Villages representatives need to listen to us, people with disabilities. We can sue the District dovernment for the ADA violations! Why not?
