"As I trudge across campus on snowy days, I am met with an obstacle at every crosswalk

"As I trudge across campus on snowy days, I am met with an obstacle at every crosswalk. The plows have piled up snow into asphalt-stained mounds right in front of curb cuts that lead down to familiar white stripes.

As someone with mobility and balance issues, what is a minor inconvenience to many becomes a more serious hazard, as a trip-induced spill could cause serious injury. The temporary blockade leads me to reflect on the curb cuts themselves and the often-overlooked convenience and access they provide."
