Another case in point: The Embarcadero Freeway spur in San Francisco.

What does it mean to roll?

Is this new-speak for riding an electric scooter? Seems like it doesn't include biking or driving from how the word is used.

Odd that UDI outsources their media work to Berlin.

 

[Gronk!]

Why, what's wrong with local ad agency Berlin Communications?

 

[trevorhayden]

Nothing wrong. Just surprised they don't have their own capacity.

It refers to someone using a wheelchair, mobility scooter, etc.

Ready to roll is a saying I remember being around as long as I can recall, I think decades, so nothing really new, although perhaps more abbreviated.

It certainly makes sense referring specifically scooters, wheelchairs, etc ...

 

[archited]

It appears in all (most) ADA-related videos referring to wheelchair disabled.

Nothing wrong. Just surprised they don't have their own capacity.

UDI only has 2 staff. They do not have communication staff.

Not in the list of potential car-free streets, so it's probably end of the line for this:

A good exercise with many ridiculous areas for consideration and very few with any reasonability or rational for anything more than Sat or Sun temporary closures*... if that.

*so long as significant programming was paired.
