I am writing this e-mail to pledge my support for the recommendations of the Public Right of Way Advisory Committee.

Being visually impaired, I see the utility in having detectable warnings and accessible pedestrian signals. On a bright, sunny day it can be difficult to see approaching traffic if the sun is bright and shining at a particular angle. Audio street signals would be great in that instance and they would benefit the totally blind any time of day or night. It's a necessity for the visually impaired population. We shouldn't feel privileged that there are a scattered number of accessible pedestrian signals and detectable warnings. It is truly something that would be greatly appreciated and not taken for granted. It is vital that the recommendations because a reality. Thanks for reading.

Sincerely,

Shane Pastrovich
