> If you choose to ride a scooter and you hurt yourself because you ran into some tree roots that is on YOU. It is not the city's responsibility to provide a perfectly manicured path from arbitrary point A to point B
Personally I disagree. Businesses are all expected to comply with the ADA, why not the city? Funnily enough, L.A. has been found to be out of compliance and settled multiple lawsuits about this exact issue. To the tune of 1.3 billion over 3 decades. [0]
