Gene and All, Nice to hear this. We'll find ways to get the contrast issue in front of them. BTW, during our conference call on Monday evening, we scheduled our next call for Monday, June 6 at 7:30. I apologize for not getting the word out about this last call. By way of update, Ray is working on a draft of a letter to Margaret Newman, in which we ask for updates on aps's and also their plans for upcoming intersection redesign, so that we can try to assure that our accommodations are in the mix before shovels hit the ground It occurs to me that Gene's last post gives me an excuse to write to Forgione and thank her, and, mention the contrast issue at dws's and curb cuts. If noone objects, I'll do that, will try to get it out today. Good day to all. Karen. _____ From: passcoalition-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:passcoalition-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gene Bourquin DHA Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 5:38 PM To: PASS listserv Subject: [passcoalition] 23rd and 7th I went and checked out our favorite intersection today. I don't think we have patted ourselves on the back enough. This really seems like it will be a successful effort. There are red markings at the corners now where apparently the APS poles are going. The placements seems just right. Of course, there are still issues with contrasting DWS, defining the pedestrian plaza well, etc. But when we think about what the original plans were, and see what is actually being constructed, we have good reasons to feel good about what we've achieved.
