Dear Board Members:
I am a blind person living in Boise, Idaho, and have traveled independently
around this city for many years. I am writing in opposition to any kind of
audible traffic signals on all
intersections. With all the traffic noise and other environmental
noises going on, it would be very confusing trying to listen to an audible
signal.
The cost of such signals is appalling! I would recumbent that the millions of
dollars that would be spent on traffic signals be used to improve training
programs for the blind in every major city. Once a person is trained to use
either a cane or guide dog, he can travel when and where he wants to with
confidence.
Thank you for considering my opinions.
Cordially,
Raymond Halverson
