Great to hear a little good news!
I saw Matt S at the Mayor's ADA celebration last nightand he said that the DOT
training has been confirmed for October 4, and according to him, Janet is one
of the trainers. Guess we should confirm that, but it's thrilling news, if
it's true.

A note that yesterday the DoT installed a 5 foot high pole at the southeast
corner, surely to host the APS, at the correct location for the east crosswalk.
It seems like we have achieve all of our goals and recommendations for this
location. The detectable warnings, the various APS installations at optimum
locations, and other features combine to make a near-model intersection
accessible design.
This is a significant success for our coalition. While it may seem like we
have focused too much on this single intersection, I think we have demonstrated
that our input is valuable and being attended to by the DoT, and this bodes
well for success with future collaborations (and conflicts).
I look forward to our next meeting, and building on this achievement.
