To Whom It May Concern:
         

I am blind, but I am also an American taxpayer!  I am strongly opposed to your June 17 proposed rules which would require that, to "help" the blind, our government would require detectable warnings at every street corner or accessible traffic signals at every traffic light.         

What blind people need is high-quality training, not gadgets and gimmicks!  The enormous financial cost to the American taxpayer far outweighs any supposed benefit to the blind.  Trained blind people cross busy streets "just as they are" every day, but an outraged American taxpayer won't be so eager to hire them if this high cost is heaped upon them.
 

I am a blind young lady who commutes daily by public transportation.  I strongly opposed to the new audible traffic light signal, because it is very irrelevant
 
Money can be better allocated for other essential aids to educate and provide blind persons qualified individuals.
