To whom it may concern;
Regarding audible signals, I feel that they are not necessary at all
intersections. They add to the distraction confusing intersections. The tweeting
sound is easily confused with real birds. These devices are degrading and
humiliating. Do not presume you know what will help us, you should have talked
to many blind people before taking any action.
Regarding those tactile marks, to me they are more dangerous than useful. They
cause me to trip, They are slippery when wet or icy.
Cordially,
D. R. Hoskinson

of the Blind in Baltimore.
