Curb cuts

While walking around Phoenixville in my motorized wheelchair, I feel frustrated! I can't tell you how many times there is a curb cut on one side of the sidewalk but not the other. This forces me to drive my wheelchair into the street. I don't understand why towns do this.

If someone is walking in the wheelchair, they need to get to the other side. (Sounds like a joke.) When I'm walking with my children, I'm either forced to take them into the street or have them walk alone on the sidewalk. This is not a good choice to have. 

I'm hoping towns fix these curbs and create curb cuts so walking around town can be safe and accessible to all.
