Dear Access Board Members:

As a member of the Washington Council of the Blind I strongly support the position of WCB concerning pedestrian safety and transportation. It is essential to have every means of assistance available in dealing with aspects of our environment and safety today. As visually challenged and blind persons we should be afforded the maximum assistance for rights of way in our mobility and transportation needs. We can make a difference in educating the public, heightening awareness on a practical level by building into environmental structures the best additional features to enhance efficient and safe travel for all persons of disability. I support changes which accommodate and promote safety and equal rights of mibility in travel for all persons.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Bell
