Handicap Accessible Tubbs Hill?

Old Fisherman: This is a tough one, having lived here for over 45 years, and occasionally used Tubbs Hill,I agree with trying to keep it intact. On the other hand many of you now want to discriminate against ADA folks. They are not ADA folks by desire, just unfortunate instances in their lives. They are entitled to the same views and vistas everyone else enjoys. This is a time to find common ground and satisfy both needs. It can be done.

Walkabout: I think about the inevitability of old age or of a disability curbing my walking everyday. I use to run all over Tubbs, now I am only able to walk. If a day comes when I am unable to experience Tubbs Hill instead of seeking accommodation, I will hope for future generations who will be able to experience the hill as I did.

Question: Should something be done to help the elderly and disabled to enjoy Tubbs Hill?
