I\u2019m hoping to create a broader awareness of the issue in people that can help us create a change,\u201d says Galloway, himself a disabled student.<\/p>\n<p>The walk partnered participants with group leaders with disabilities who led them down Broad Street from the Tennessee Aquarium to Five Guys Burgers and Fries, pointing out potential difficulties and hazards for people with disabilities. The walk, a mere fifth of a mile, was intended to demonstrate the problems faced by those with visual, hearing, and mobility disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just listen for the traffic to stop, then I go,\u201d said group leader Megan Hudgins, a psychology major from Apison, Tennessee who is visually impaired. \u201cI try to listen for the parallel traffic to go first, but it doesn\u2019t always work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hudgins explained that chirping traffic signals and tactile paving, the bumps on the pavement that can be found at the edges of walkways that serve as a warning that the sidewalk is ending for vision impaired pedestrians, would be helpful cues for her. Several participants noted that they had seen the bumps on UTC campus, but never considered their purpose or their lack on other sidewalks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the first time I\u2019ve walked downtown virtually by myself without a friend. I would never come here on my own. It\u2019s just too dangerous for me,\u201d says Hudgins.<\/p>\n<p>The idea for the walk began as a project in Galloway and West\u2019s Social Work Practice III class.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were discussing how we wanted to make community change and influence social policy,\u201d said West.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis started as a class project and grew into something much bigger and broader,\u201d said Galloway.<\/p>\n<p>Surveys were given to participants before and after the walk to gauge awareness and opinions on the issue and how they changed afterwards. The surveys will be presented to the Chattanooga City Council.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the key is to create community awareness and community involvement, as well as government awareness on different issues in the community about what needs to be improved and changed to make this a more accessible city,\u201d says Galloway.<\/p>\n<p>The event was hosted through a cooperative effort between the UTC Social Work Department, the UTC Disability Resource Center, and the City of Chattanooga Office of Multicultural Affairs.<\/p>\n<p>West and Galloway, both seniors, hope that the event will continue into the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re trying to arrange with different social work professors to keep this moving forward when we leave,\u201d says Galloway. \u201cAny event to raise awareness like this, big or small, is really important and something to grow in future years. The fact that we\u2019re starting this up this year, and that we\u2019ve had a meeting with city council brings into focus things that are not always considered. Any start is always a good precursor to improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really want to see change, to see Chattanooga become a more accessible city for everyone with a disability. We hope that this will grow and improve next year and we hope this walk helped open some eyes and change some opinions,\u201d says West.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For people with disabilities, navigating city streets can be difficult and even dangerous.
