You’re welcome @LuaPL. I had an uncle who became a quadriplegic after a freak accident when he was 10. He passed away recently at 68. So my family is well aware the importance of mobility and the simple act of having sidewalks ready for a wheelchair among other things.
It is only in the last 30 - 40 years that we have in the US, public buildings and restrooms (WCs), sidewalks, etc to be disability friendly, which also included the use of strollers (prams), walkers, walking sticks for the blind, etc. too.
Being a Local Guide and active here on Connect, I get reminded everyday of what being “truly mobile” really means from fellow LGs like you and @EmekaUlor in your countries.
@emeka house,. I always enjoy reading about him and all his adventures and passion for accessibility and mapping generally. Emeka is my inspiration as a Google guide, he is a very humble personality yet so worthy. He teaches how to suceeed and how to map effectively. he loves to carry every one along selflessly.Looking forward to reading more of you emeka and your tips has really been helpful to me.
@EmekaUloreffort and passion is needs to be adopted by more local guides to help made each country on Google Map with accessibility friendly. Thanks @TraciC for sharing.
Thank you @SpecialGuide and encouragement. I believe accessibility is a key interest for Local Guides and there is regular awareness to write reviews and capture such information on the maps too. We all just need to keep this in mind always. 🙂
