Description
Utility poles have been installed in the middle of the sidewalk, making it impossible to use a wheelchair or wide stroller. This is a violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. Although this photo is around Sirum & Co., 295 Deerfield Street, there are poles in the sidewalk on this side of the road all the way to 126 Deerfield and perhaps beyond. Even if the State has charge of this section of the road, they are not exempt from the requirements of the ADA and Public Right of Way guidelines.

WIDTH
Width of walkways shall be not less than 48 inches (48"= 1219mm), excluding curb stones. An unobstructed path of travel shall be provided which is at least 36 inches (36" = 914mm) clear, excluding curb stones.
If there is 3' of room to get around all these obstacles, i yield. Wouldn't want to run that obstacle course with a power wheelchair or a double stroller.
