and pedestrians—was not addressed yet:
"The problem is at the South side of Grady Way and Shattuck Ave, where it is not
save for people using canes, walkers or wheel chairs. The pavement has humps
making it difficult to reach the pole where the bu�ton is to activate the crossing
light. It is so steep as to cause a hazard of falling ox tipping a wheel chair. This area
needs to be changed similar to what was done at South Grady and Rain�er Ave S."
