To whom this may concern:
 
I've been blind for three years and since learning cane travel my experiences   at  the majority of street crossings I find such an proposal to be without merit and unnecessary.
 
Perhaps in your efforts to assist the blind your decision would only promote the set back of millions of blind Americans whom strive for independence and not costly measures of such view points.
 
I agree with the National Federation of the Blind position that we do not need locator poles and noise makers at every corner. We need better training and understanding to the real necessities of the traveling blind.
 
Thank you,
Lee Martin, NFB
