ok Mr. Robert, you've peaked my curiousity: I was only taught the white
cane (as a teenager), and never at any time exposed to a professional
who could have shown me the differences between a dog and a cane
traveler. so, I'm wondering: for those who receive such a comparison
from say an O&M instructor, or someone equally qualified to compare
both, what do most adults choose?
thanks.
Chip

I would say it would be pretty scary with a cane but doable with
a good guide dog and some one with enough sight to stay in the cross
walk. One major difference between a cane and a dog is the dog can see.
I have had Sherman for 6 months now and I seeker to be amazed at his
abilities. I was at the ATIA conference at the Caribe royal resort in
Orlando and it not only amazed me how well Sherman did but he also led
two other friends he led us over 46 acres, we had the Blind train going
on. I think now more than ever cane users in Tallahassee should really
think about using a guide dog considering growth and changes in
transportation.

Much like the intersection of Thomasville and
Temberlane, where there are no less than 9 lanes to cross, but many
business and shopping opportunities, I believe this is an excellent
intersection for APS. Yes, large and busy intersections can be a bit
overwhelming, can't they? Thank God for APS(s)!

I don't know Darla if others will be happy or
not for the audible signal at this intersection; Allison can't believe
Mimi or anyone else is willing to try it!

Dear Mimi and William,
I am so proud TCB is listed in the Nova 2010
plan as serious contributors to make the routes and stops accessible.
Good going to William, Sally and others who have
been so thorough in putting forth our suggestions and ideas; thanks to
the Lighthouse as well.
I am sure others in your area, Mimi, will be
happy for that audible signal, too.
Darla

I will see what I can do about an
audible signal by your wall-Mart.

Hi there atlas, it would improve living
conditions to have a audible signal to go across Thomasville rd at Kerry
forest parkway to go into Walmart and
then make the return trip with audible signal to cross back over
thonmasville going east over to kerryforest
/It would require 4 audible signals.
Also a bus stop needs to be located at
each roundabouts in kill earn estates. Currently I walk two and a half
miles to kerry park and Thomasville to take the bus to target. The
return bus could stop on Thomasville at kerry forest to discharge
passengers to an audible signal to cross over,
Need to make some type of transportation
on an as-needed basis.
Oh well...

HI William.
Does this group deal with all
transportation in Leon county or just the fixed route system?
In either case first of all we need
night service which we haven't had for about 2 and a half years and
there is no transportation to the airport on weekends. If your inquiry
deals with the non sponsored service then I have a lot to say and
recommendations for fixing the problems. At worse we should be able to
have what we had prior to prioritization of non sponsored trips by the
TD board.

Greetings list,
As you all know I am very committed to
having as good a transportation system in Tallahassee as possible. At a
recent meeting I was asked to get input from my fellow disable listers:
what would be the suggestions you might have for an effective
transportation system? This is just one more opportunity to make your
voice heard.
What is the Accessible Transportation
Coalitions Initiative (ATCI)?
ATCI is a one-year process designed to
support systems change activities to improve accessible transportation
options for people with disabilities
We can have a voice and it has been
proven in the past that they do listen to us.
I invite you to offer your suggestions
and I will carry them to the table.

Extraordinaire.
