Dear Access Board Members:

My name is Denice Brown. I am a "legally blind", female, retired school teacher. I am also 2nd Vice President, and Legislative Chairperson of The Greater Philadelphia Chapter of The National Federation of the Blind. I am against yor idea of placing audible signals all over our intersections, You obviously do not have the best interest of the blind in mind. We do not need to hear birds or whistles at every corner. We have better ways of determining when it is time to cross the street. If you really want to know how to make some intersections more accessible to the blind, then you need to meet with the leaders of the National Federation of the Blind. We are the largest organization of the blind with over 50,000 members. Wouldn't we be the best people to ask?
Please consider my comments.

Respectfully,
Ms. Denice F. Brown
