3CDC Curbs Spending on Curbs

3CDC did not curb spending on helpful orange paint,
so you know exactly where to pop your wheelie

 

CINCINNATI -  Apparently Fountain Square Garage is joining in on the fun events at Fountain Square, as The Cincinnati Beacon reported on 3CDC's obstacle course for people in wheelchairs.

Wheelchair-bound visitors who don't want the challenge of dodging traffic or popping wheelies will have to park elsewhere for the time being.

"We just spent a big chunk of our budget on hundreds of disposable dead fish," said Fountain Square managing director Bill Donabedian, "So you can see why it was important to curb our curb spending."

"And the cost of adding the letters 'USA' to the end of all our Taste of Cincinnati marketing materials has also put a damper on our recent budget," continued Donabedian, "So I hope the handicapped people understand."

As part of the plan to curb their curb spending, 3CDC will be distributing a much more affordable "Wheelchair Wheelies" factsheet at the garage.
