No access to public pools for rehabilitation.

I was going to comment on the story that is already posted about transit and more sidewalks but neither of those would work for me, although I do agree with them. I have a problem with not being able to access any form of rehabilitation without being dependent on someone for a ride to the rec center and even then the walk from the door of the rec center to the change room and then to the pool is excruciatingly painful for me. Perhaps if I was able to get to the pool, on my scooter, so that I can float and try some light aqua therapy I may be able to one day walk to my mail box again. It is very depressing knowing that I have a membership for just that reason yet I cant use it. Just to be able to float I have been told would really help with my chronic pain. But I cant get there and a sidewalk is not an option unless you are leveling all the stones. Ever take a scooter on the sidewalk when you are already in pain???? Being jarred and bumped, I have the best shocks on my scooter and I still cant handle it. A bike path up to the rec center so that our disabled, elderly, and teenagers can access it without needing a ride would be such a wonderful thing to help with the health of our community!
