Carol Zamfir says that trek to town is treacherous.

Walking down the sidewalk isn't a problem for most of us.

But for a Frisco disabled woman, it's like maneuvering an obstacle course.

The reason?

Newly renovated streets and the position of light poles.

Carol Zamfir has multiple sclerosis.

When the weather's nice like today, she enjoys taking a ride down Main Street but she says that trek to town is treacherous.

"The main concern are the poles, sitting in the middle of the sidewalks," she says.

The city installed the nostalgic light poles along Main Street, which was recently widened.

Zamfir says she can narrowly get by those light poles with her wheelchair.

"They're very difficult to attempt to get through when your arms are out and you have the possibility of hitting a wall."

Zamfir says some of the sidewalks are on hills, making the narrow passage even more difficult and scary.

"I would like to see them correct it by making the sidewalks a lot more bigger and accessible for people or remove their poles," she adds.

But Frisco's engineering director, Cissy Sylo, says the light poles meet the guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

When Zamfir complained, the city sent out inspectors to make sure.

"All the poles do meet those compliant federal guidelines and we have extra room as well. But if there's something extra we can do to help her be comfortable maneuvering the streets, we'll be happy to come out and see if we can do something," Sylo said.
