Hi, everyone.

If it’s a contract the worker on the project is concerned about, could we not 
find out who is the city councilperson for that district and be able to contact 
them tactfully.

It’s not a matter of adding money to an already existing bdget so as to handle 
such priorities as audbile signals. It’s a matter of prioritizing it. Perhaps, 
showing the camera shots of the accident and bringing the councilmen for that 
district to the location would be helpful.

I think that when lawmakers see things firsthand, they’re more apt to move on 
local projects such as this timely and important one.

Very good. Better still if the TV news would do a story on that need.

There's an article in either today's or yesterday's Star in which that's
discussed.

I was thinking more about the need for electronics at that crosswalk.

Please excuse the cross post.  I realize that this is a technology list, but
Chip has many friends here, and I know we are all concerned.

From: Sheila Styron 




I work as the public policy coordinator for The Whole Person and represent
this organization with the city on accessibility issues. It was in this
capacity that I contacted Sergeant Fuller, lead investigator for the August
31 traffic incident where Chip Block was fatally struck down. 

This is what Sergeant Fuller told me about this accident, and this officer
had been unaware of Chip's visual impairment prior to speaking with me. 



The events were clearly filmed by a Max bus camera. The driver, a woman with
two dogs in her car was proceeding from west to east on 31st with the sun in
her eyes. She was first in line for the left arrow and when she got it,
turned left. The crosswalk was apparently in some amount of shade, and she
hit Chip as he was walking across Main in the crosswalk from east to west
traveling along the north side of the intersection. The film of the incident
clearly shows that Chip did not have the light and was not running. 



The intersection at 31st and Main is one where the city has been promising
to install an accessible pedestrian signal since around this time last year.
The Children's Center for Low Vision is right there along with the
Rehabilitation Institute. Consumer groups, orientation and mobility
instructors who train visually impaired people to travel safely and several
individuals all identified 31st and Main as a priority installation. The
city has been dragging its feet, and I recently spoke with the contractor
who has the job and says he has experienced difficulties being paid for his
work in a timely fashion. The most recent deadline for completion on a list
of 7 APS installations designated as priorities and including 31st and Main
is currently set for the end of September. I feel certain that this
heartbreaking untimely death could have most likely been avoided had there
been an accessible pedestrian signal at 31st and Main.
