I have looked at both versions of the proposal and do not see any differences.
The diagram on page five looks the same and does not indicate that APS, or as
they say audible signals, will be installed. Page nine on both proposals lists
four benefits of the changes. The third benefit Provides two green pedestrian
refuge islands is a real concern for me. If this means DOT intends to paint
the street green, as they have done at other pedestrian plazas, it will be
meaningless for all blind and visually impaired travelers. We must push for
the need to research to determine what material should be used and how it
should be used to provide a textured warning.
My number one intersection for APS is 24th Street and 3rd Avenue, the west
crosswalk.

Karen,
Virtually the only different I see is that more parking is being eliminated in
the update presentation.
The signaling looks the same. The same single mention of an audible signal.
No more information about FDW signal length, nothing on APS placement, etc.
It's ten fairly dense pages but that's all I see and I looked pretty carefully.
