As a visually impaired, legally blind person, I could not leave my house without accessible pedestrian signals and detectable warnings. These signals allow me to cross a major highway and perform daily living chores without assistance.

I have personally advocated for audible signals in my town of Southborough, MA through the Mass Highway Department. The work is not finished. But I and other visually impaired individuals heavily rely on these pedestrian safety aids for our independence. I urge you to support them.

Sincerely,

Betty Soderholm
