I don't think you understand the concept here:

Dear government official:

When I call you to complain that the road repairs on State Road 50 have made the State Road 50 and S Park intersection unsafe for wheelchair users, pedestrians and bicyclists, and has already resulted in injuries, the proper response is not, "I guess you'll just have to drive for awhile."

Wow. I've known from personal experience that people tend to assume that everyone is able to drive, but I wouldn't have expected that from a government official! -_-;;

Then again, that would potentially explain why so many roads here are designed in a way that's flat-out hostile to pedestrians...
