 I'm glad I had the chance to participate in this "Invest in Transit Accessibility" event, but it was very sparsely attended--not as well as the June accessibility action at the broken elevator.

Carter Lavin's talk was really stimulating and original, beginning with "Disability is the only minority group that you can become a member of at any given moment in life." 


Shaya French also spoke, and so did Louis, who was the catalyst back in June.  I said what I intended to say.  The last person to speak (if we don't count the guy who told me he was running for mayor and didn't like my question, "Are you Lurie?") was Hillary Brown, who had a great red and white Muni scarf and "Ambassador" emblazoned on her back. She's with the BART Accessibility Task Force Advisory Group.  

I met Roger Rudick, who writes for Street Blog and covered the event in an informative way.  (I learned more from his write-up!)

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
