City Howl Help Desk: Philadelphia's mean streets for wheelchairs

City Howl Help Desk: Philadelphia's mean streets for wheelchairs: "THE PROBLEM: Shawn Tucker risks ending up flat on her back every day on her way to work.
Tucker is disabled, and her trip to the bus stop isn't easy to navigate. The sidewalk on one side of her street has disintegrated, and debris can get under the wheels of her wheelchair and trip her up. And the curb cut at 15th and Cecil B. Moore Avenue is so steep it can cause her to flip out of her chair."
