Information like parking, accessible bathrooms, distance of trail, elevation gains, available activities like birdwatching or picnicking — and whether there are barriers like steps on the trail — are often the things Lewkowicz feels get left out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says that the ADA-accessible trail information needs to be more clearly defined, with more details of all the accessible features. “Which is why I do the work that I do and try and help relieve that burden for people,” she said. Lewkowicz also works with \u003ca href=\"https://www.alltrails.com/us/california/san-francisco/ada\">popular hiking app AllTrails\u003c/a> in providing information about accessible trails in the Bay Area and beyond, which she says has resulted in the availability of reliable wheelchair-accessible trails on the AllTrails app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People with disabilities want the same kind of experiences as everyone else, said Lewkowicz, adding, “And we need to have access to more of them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With mobility technologies changing so rapidly, city planners need to think about how to broaden their ideas about what’s possible, says Lewkowicz — because new equipment for disabled people means that previously inaccessible spaces can now become more accessible. For example, here in California \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/goga/planyourvisit/beach-wheelchairs.htm\">many state beaches now have beach wheelchairs available for loan\u003c/a>. “There are chairs that climb mountains,” said Lewkowicz.

For her, she enjoys accessible trails that are more remote and more in the wilderness — longer ones that are more “destination trails” and less urban. For those just starting to explore accessible trails and needing some encouragement, Lewkowicz recommends reaching out to the community and going on a group hike. “BORP does offer some adventures and outings and we have transportation. So that would be one possible way to [start] to get out there. Go with your peers,” she advised.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Adventures from a wheelchair: ‘Being out on a nature trail is close to being home’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In 1996, Bay Area resident Mark Hehir started using a wheelchair and breathing on a ventilator due to a rare form of muscular dystrophy called rigid spine syndrome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wanting to share his experiences wheelchair hiking at various parks and trails, Hehir started his \u003ca href=\"https://irishsea-mark-videos.blogspot.com/\">Adventures From a Wheelchair blog\u003c/a> in 2010.

He wishes to see more accessible trails getting extended, making them longer. “A problem is, many accessible trails are short, less than a mile,” he said. “You spend 40 minutes getting to a trail and it only takes 15 minutes to hike it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hehir advises all levels of hikers to check weather conditions before going out, to always bring water and to stay on the right side of the trail to avoid any accidents with cyclists.

But her love for the outdoors remained a big part of who she was. “Being out in nature and being a dancer was still who I was and needed.

Information like parking, accessible bathrooms, distance of trail, elevation gains, available activities like birdwatching or picnicking — and whether there are barriers like steps on the trail — are often the things Lewkowicz feels get left out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says that the ADA-accessible trail information needs to be more clearly defined, with more details of all the accessible features. “Which is why I do the work that I do and try and help relieve that burden for people,” she said. Lewkowicz also works with \u003ca href=\"https://www.alltrails.com/us/california/san-francisco/ada\">popular hiking app AllTrails\u003c/a> in providing information about accessible trails in the Bay Area and beyond, which she says has resulted in the availability of reliable wheelchair-accessible trails on the AllTrails app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People with disabilities want the same kind of experiences as everyone else, said Lewkowicz, adding, “And we need to have access to more of them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With mobility technologies changing so rapidly, city planners need to think about how to broaden their ideas about what’s possible, says Lewkowicz — because new equipment for disabled people means that previously inaccessible spaces can now become more accessible. For example, here in California \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/goga/planyourvisit/beach-wheelchairs.htm\">many state beaches now have beach wheelchairs available for loan\u003c/a>. “There are chairs that climb mountains,” said Lewkowicz.

For her, she enjoys accessible trails that are more remote and more in the wilderness — longer ones that are more “destination trails” and less urban. For those just starting to explore accessible trails and needing some encouragement, Lewkowicz recommends reaching out to the community and going on a group hike. “BORP does offer some adventures and outings and we have transportation. So that would be one possible way to [start] to get out there. Go with your peers,” she advised.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Adventures from a wheelchair: ‘Being out on a nature trail is close to being home’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In 1996, Bay Area resident Mark Hehir started using a wheelchair and breathing on a ventilator due to a rare form of muscular dystrophy called rigid spine syndrome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wanting to share his experiences wheelchair hiking at various parks and trails, Hehir started his \u003ca href=\"https://irishsea-mark-videos.blogspot.com/\">Adventures From a Wheelchair blog\u003c/a> in 2010. On his site, visitors can read reviews and watch videos of all the wheelchair-accessible places Hehir has visited. He’s also an ADA volunteer for Santa Clara County Parks and has worked with them since 2015 to improve access to their parks and hiking trails. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r_5UNVOz8E\">See Hehir’s video of his favorite trails and parks in partnership with Santa Clara Open Space Preserve.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"‘When I am outdoors and on a hiking trail, it doesn’t take too long for all the stress to go away.’","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"size":"medium","align":"right","citation":"Mark Hehir, Bay Area resident","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>For Hehir, using a wheelchair and being on a ventilator causes his muscles to easily get stressed, which can then affect his breathing — and he says that being in the outdoors is like medicine for him. “When I am outdoors and on a hiking trail, it doesn’t take too long for all the stress to go away,” said Hehir in an email to KQED. “Being out on a nature trail is close to being home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hehir says that accessible trails need to be maintained each year, but notes that not all hiking spots can be accessible, due to the terrain. He wishes to see more accessible trails getting extended, making them longer. “A problem is, many accessible trails are short, less than a mile,” he said. “You spend 40 minutes getting to a trail and it only takes 15 minutes to hike it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hehir advises all levels of hikers to check weather conditions before going out, to always bring water and to stay on the right side of the trail to avoid any accidents with cyclists.

Research national organizations that conduct annual studies and compile statistics on your issue. All of the information that organizers were learning was then shared back with the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We hosted huge community meetings of 300 to 400 people — at one point 900 — to just really break it down,” says Celedon. “We said, ‘Here's what we understand. What do others understand? What do we want to learn more about?’ And then we started to bring in other experts to confirm we understood what was happening with land use and development in Fresno.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also important to continuously survey your community. “We had been running citywide voter surveys every year,” Celedon says. “We were just calling folks and asking, ‘Why do you care about parks? Would you be willing to pay more for parks?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These surveys, plus door-to-door canvassing, allowed the coalition to build relationships with residents, obtain more than 35,000 signatures and set the foundation for funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: Certain local bond and tax measures require approval by a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/ballot-measures\">55% or a two-thirds vote of the electorate\u003c/a>. A statewide ballot measure can be approved by a majority vote of the people. Unless a city charter specifies anything different, 10% of registered voters are needed to pass a measure (not bond or tax), but check your county or city laws for the required percentage of votes it needs to pass.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11888452 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/1-800x450.png\" alt='A graphic titled \"Get Community & Data to Inform Your Issue,\" with 4 steps that are covered in the article.' width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/1-800x450.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/1-1020x574.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/1-160x90.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/09/1.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>2.

They conducted a study to find out all the ways parks can be funded and how other communities were doing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, Measure P’s funding source was a 3/8-cent city sales tax — a sales tax increase smaller than 1 cent per purchase — that ensured visitors and non-Fresno residents also paid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another thing that costs money is the campaign in favor of the measure itself, plus any potential legal fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under \u003ca href=\"https://www.centralvalleycf.org/advocacy\">federal law\u003c/a>, support for ballot measures is considered a form of direct lobbying, and such support may take many forms.

Mountain lions actually go out of their way to avoid us. One way mountain lions avoid us is by shifting to a more nocturnal schedule than typical when they’re in areas where humans go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as far as tracking us as prey? No, not a thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What they really love to eat is deer,” Wilmers says. “About 95 percent of the calories they ingest come from deer. Their behavior is to try to avoid you, rather than seek you out as prey.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Mammals/Mountain-Lion\">Department of Fish and Wildlife \u003c/a>keeps track of mountain lion attacks on humans. In the past three decades, there have been \u003ca href=\"https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Mammals/Mountain-Lion/Attacks\">three deaths statewide\u003c/a>, as well as 12 attacks that were not fatal. And no attacks on humans at all since 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilmers likes to tell people it’s far more risky to drive a car or even brush your teeth. One of his favorite comparisons is how many people impale themselves on their toothbrush and die.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, it’s something like 10 or 11 a year,” Wilmers says. “So probababilistically, you’ve got a greater chance of impaling yourself on your toothbrush than being killed by a mountain lion, but we don’t think of the toothbrush as being dangerous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If they’re avoiding us, this made Fairburn wonder about the one or two animals a year that find their way into towns, often on the peninsula. Wilmer says they’re basically lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are almost always young animals, usually young males that are out looking for a new territory,” Wilmers says. “They essentially make a mistake and wander into a downtown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, while humans are relatively safe, it’s probably less safe for Fido and Fluffy.

One way mountain lions avoid us is by shifting to a more nocturnal schedule than typical when they’re in areas where humans go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as far as tracking us as prey? No, not a thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What they really love to eat is deer,” Wilmers says. “About 95 percent of the calories they ingest come from deer.

One of his favorite comparisons is how many people impale themselves on their toothbrush and die.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, it’s something like 10 or 11 a year,” Wilmers says. “So probababilistically, you’ve got a greater chance of impaling yourself on your toothbrush than being killed by a mountain lion, but we don’t think of the toothbrush as being dangerous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If they’re avoiding us, this made Fairburn wonder about the one or two animals a year that find their way into towns, often on the peninsula. Wilmer says they’re basically lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are almost always young animals, usually young males that are out looking for a new territory,” Wilmers says. “They essentially make a mistake and wander into a downtown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, while humans are relatively safe, it’s probably less safe for Fido and Fluffy.
