I am a blind traveler and strongly support the rights of the blind and visually impaired people to have accessible audible crossings. I am in favor of the PROWAC report. I am appalled that a minority of people who do not appreciate this technology is attempting to prohibit the rest of us from utilizing audible pedestrian crossings. Those people do not speak for the majority of blind and visually impaired citizens in this country. I strongly urge you to do all that is possible to allow this technology to make crossings far safer for all of us. Thank you so much.
