Transcript of, "Seattle's Snow Planning Freezes Out People With Disabilities", produced by Rooted in Rights. [Audio Description]: A man in a power chair drives down a sidewalk. MAN: People often ask me how did I manage to get around in the weather lately with the snow and I tell them I didn't. I didn't leave my house for eight days at one point. For many people it means they can't access basic services that they need. I've talked to other people with disabilities and some for example have dialysis treatments others have other medical appointments that they need to get to or even just getting out and getting food. I believe that the city can do a number of things to make things better next time. They should prioritize key areas including mass transit for example and making sure those are accessible and useable to people with disabilities. I think that they need to have plans for helping people with disabilities for example who can't clear their sidewalks so they can actually get down the street. and um, I think they should just have a clear plan that they communicate to everyone. A lot of the disability community wants to see that they are willing to make this a priority going forward and that they will take proactive steps to make sure people with disabilities don't face these same issues the next time.
