. >> this is bob planthold. i wanted you folks to think not just the abstract j.f.k. drive. take a look at the map and look at the features along j.f.k. drive that would be barred for people with disabilities using any sort of motorized vehicle to get to. i mean, there's picnic areas. it's not just using a vehicle to go along j.f.k. drive. it's driving on j.f.k. drive to get to a site, to a site. and if you have a baby in a stroller or a baby in a stroller, it's much easier, faster, better to drive to a picnic area. what if you have a group of young preschoolers, again, it's easier, faster, safer to go in a mini van than to try to arrange for multiple adults to bicycle with kids maybe not theirs, but maybe part of the daycare group. you need to understand how many are disadvantaged and understand on j.f.k. drive we can't get to facilities, sites, or services. it's also important for anyone using paratransit because that is specific, a door-to-door transportation. if i'm taking paratransit to get to a place and that's not available for motor vehicle use, that's a problem. too
