My bestfriend relies on an electric w/c for mobility. From what I can see, homes can be easily modified for individual needs, but a person would need to provide their own transportation. I suppose if he moved close to one of the town squares, he could manage in that little world, but it would be a shame to miss out on all the other beautiful areas and ammenities TV has to offer. I asked a while back why there wasn't a bus system (with a lift ) that would maybe stop at postoffices and make loops every 30 or 60 mins. To me, they seem an easy distance to get to. Even as an able bodied person, I would use that service. I think it would significantly decrease accidents caused by alcohol and increased congestion and how relaxing that ride would be! A buck a ride? I know, the cost of gas. So, how about a buck two ninety-eight? I love to see the trolley out and about. Wouldn't it be a nice and welcoming way to show potential buyers and visitors that we embrace people from all walks of life? JMHO.
