Residents of East River NY View Buildings, Object to Ramp For Disabled Persons



Residents say the site of a proposed bridge would ruin river views.[View of FDR Drive]

Only the Post speaks for persons with disabilities. It is curious that few disability rights organizations employ PR flacks as the wealthy able bodied, the racism, homosexual and women's rights, illegal alien and Muslim groups do.

[From article]
A 30-year-old woman who lives in the building — where a four-bedroom unit available now has a $2.8 million price tag — scoffed at the handicapped bridge, saying it “looks like a cage.”
“I would look outside of my window and feel like a mouse in a laboratory,” she said. “The view of the water would be ruined for a lot of people.”
She also dismissed the danger of the parking garage as no big deal.
