Potholes, broken, if any, sidewalks, etc....someone with a physical disability would really struggle here. - Jul 2014


Sidewalks are generally in poor shape if they exist at all. Ramps are non existant and people with disabilities don't seem to be taken into account when buildings are built. - Oct 2013


It would be very difficult. - Apr 2012


Lots. The sidewalks (if there are any) are in poor shape, and many buildings do not have access for wheelchairs. - Aug 2011
