Wheelchair Access

Brought Mikaail to NTUC Supermarket at Civic Centre last Friday to buy the ingredients for the Chinese Style Carrot Cake.  Originally intended to cook it on Saturday for my family gathering but decided not to as there were too many dishes already planned for the day.

Anyway, I also planned to bring Mikaail for a walk at Causeway Point.  It's a short walk from Civic Centre to Causeway Point.  However, to get up to street level to cross to Causeway Point  from Civic Centre on wheelchair you would need to go around 3 long ramps. 

Rather disappointed that after renovations, instead of shortening the ramps, it remained except that there are more steps and inevitably there are couples sitting along the plant beds!  There is already stairs on the left of this picture.

My opinion is that when the architects or building management renovate their premises, they need to consider the needs of the wheelchair users especially when the greying population is on the rise.
