I am writing in support of the draft Guidelines on Accessible Public Rights-of-Way published in June, 2002. The guidelines contain provisions which have the potential to improve public access for all pedestrians. As a blind person, I am especially interested in the sections related to accessible pedestrian signals. Such signals can provide the same information which is presented visually for drivers and sighted pedestrians.

I look forward to hearing more about the progress of this project and hopefully discovering proof of its success in my travels.
