First finishing touches put on
central Pattaya wheelchair path
The first phase of the wheelchair
path near the Redemptorist Vocational School for Persons with Disabilities is
finally nearing completion.

Construction of a 3 million baht wheelchair path near the Redemptorist
Vocational School for Persons with Disabilities is nearing the final stages as
brick has been laid near the entrances of the school and Tantarak School.
The path in front of the vocational school is 1.2 meters wide and, like the rest
of the route, is raised about 10cm above street level. The route running down to
Big C Extra along Soi Paniadchang will be paved in asphalt except for the two
school entrances done in brick.
Construction has been sporadic, most recently stopped as the city tried to
remove private structures encroaching on the public roadway.
Since it was announced in October, the wheelchair route has been a repeated
source of disappointment for disabled students and staff. The path was initially
expected to be separated by traffic by a barrier. Instead, it simply a slightly
raised surface separated only by a painted line, with no expectation traffic
police will ticket anyone parking on it.
Work finally began in late December, then stopped again, only to resume Feb. 25.
