Dear Access Board members and Staff:

I am writing in support of the recommendations outlined in the PROWAC report.

As a pedestrian with a visual impairment, I gladly support any and all efforts to incorporate access into existing pedestrian networks. Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS), detectable directional guidance systems and detectable warnings must be viewed as fundamental elements of modern pedestrian networks.

I ask that the PROWAC recommendations be adopted so the millions of people with disabilities can enjoy accessible public rights of way, which is long over due.
