In a move that could soothe his relations with people with disabilities, Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley on Tuesday proposed creating a city Commission on Disability.

Activists for the disabled have been highly, and vocally, critical of Bradley in the past year, accusing him of making patronizing appointments to his advisory committee on handicapped issues.
