(worthless) Government (regulation) at work - ain’t big government grand.


On a recent road trip we drove down a few miles to Lee’s Landing on the Colorado River. This is where the river trip begins.

They were improving the roads and at one scenic spot they widen it and put in a side walk so people could get out of their cars for the view. They put in about 100 feet of side walk (why I am not sure since there was nothing there).

The point of all this is they also cut the side walk and put in those yellow bumpy things for blind people.

It is a scenic spot, the sidewalks were un-necessary, and who believes a blind person is going to get out of their car for a view, and last if they are blind how are they going to find the bumpy spots?

Providing a short turn out so people could park, I am okay with. But a side walk, then the bumpy things? I am sure there was a rule, but why can’t there be exceptions when common sense would indicate the need for exceptions?
