South End resident Amy Corcoran Hunt headed out into the neighborhood five days after the January 4 blizzard dropped a foot of snow in Boston. Amy is in a wheelchair. Amy was only able to travel 2 blocks. Why? The curb cuts, the ramps cut into street curbs at a corner for wheelchair access, were impassable, filled with snow.

Amy posted on Facebook, "The South End has great curb cuts (installed by the city) except in winter, when the (city) plows bury them under piles of snow. Made it two blocks."

WalkBoston, a non-profit membership organization dedicated to improving walking conditions in cities and towns across Massachusetts, made a video of Amy's trip. "What I did 5 days after the snow storm" can be seen at www.mysouthend.com.

You can help by calling 311, Boston's constituent service center to report snow-filled curb cuts, or by shoveling.
