I want to stress the importance of detectable warning strips on platforms and of audible pedestrian signals. Of the latter, we have none in San Francisco but are hoping for better cooperation as the idea becomes better known.

I did not travel on Municipal Railroad or Bay Area Rapid Transit until the warnings were installed because I was so concerned about platform edges. Often it is necessary to follow the platform edge to locate an appropriate exit, and doing that without the warning strip was very frightening. Please uphold these types of accommodation.
