GROUP FORMS TO ADVOCATE FOR DISABLED UPPER WEST SIDERS

A new group is looking for ways to make the Upper West Side more accessible to disabled people. Citizens for an Accessible West Side, or CAWS, has set up a website and is soliciting suggestions for improvements, including reviews of local businesses and services based on their accessibility to folks who are “less able-bodied.”

Sue Susman, a leader of the group, wants the public to get involved.

“Please check it out – and fill in the surveys on which restaurants and cultural facilities are wheelchair accessible (ramps, bathrooms) and which are not; and what you would do to improve public transportation for the disabled,” she wrote in an email.

The group is also asking for locals to write in with the locations of bad curb cuts, which are particularly difficult to navigate in a wheelchair. Upper West Sider Stan Solomon pointed out some of the worst curbs in the neighborhood here.
