Show Notes

Baltimore City settled a lawsuit two weeks ago with a price tag of $44 million, earmarked for pedestrian improvements--repairs aimed at directly affecting how people with disabilities get around the city. We hear details from Madeleine Reichman, a senior staff attorney at Disability Rights Advocates, and from Janice Jackson, one of three plaintiffs of the lawsuit.
