TACKLING TRANSIT
JULIE NESBITT, WHO IS BLIND, USES THE CITY’S TRANSIT SERVICE TO NAVIGATE THE CITY WITH HER GUIDE DOG
ABBY GREEN agreen@metroland.com
Ever since she was in high school, Julie Nesbitt has relied on public transit in St. Catharines to get around.
Nesbitt is legally blind: she was born with an underdeveloped visual cortex.
"I can really only see out of the top half of my left eye," she said, adding that she has no vision in her right eye.
She also suffers from Ménière's disease, which she said sometimes makes her walk like she's drunk because it throws off her balance.
