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.

I realize that this is a technology list, but Chip has many friends here, and I know we are all concerned. ----- Original Message ----- 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.
