Yep, thanks from me too, Chip. I think you should tell them that as John P and
Lynda J have already discussed with them, it is better to install the signs
vertically but install them, and SOON. Thanks again! Sila

Hi Lynn,
I think you should tell them about the signage as it applies to low vision
users!
I'm thinking they've had plenty of comments on their braille signage (as it's
been in the works for a very long time), but perhaps they forget how much of
our population is aging and has low vision?
Thanks for going.
Chip

Boy do I feel dumb asking this question. Here goes.
Ok I have low vision and not a user of Braille so what should I be telling
Star Metro about their Braille signage for the bus stops. I plan to go to at
lease one of their meetings.
Also if they lower the print signage to close to eye level I may be able to
see the print. This print signage is the route letter and phone number for
getting route times.

StarMetro Wants to Hear from You!
Customers Asked to Weigh-In on System's Performance at Listening
Sessions - If you enjoy riding the bus and have suggestions for improvements,
then StarMetro invites you to attend an upcoming listening session. These
listening sessions provide customers the opportunity to share their ideas for
improving the overall system directly with StarMetro's Planning staff.
'While we accept suggestions all year round, these listening sessions
provide a special opportunity for our customers to meet with our Planning staff
one-on-one,' said Ron Garrison, executive director of StarMetro. 'This
one-on-one communication between Planner and customer really opens the door to
exploring new ideas for future route improvements.'
StarMetro's listening sessions will take place:
a.. Tuesday, September 25, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 4:30 to
6:30 p.m. at C.K. Steele Plaza, located at 111 W. Tennessee Street
b.. Thursday, September 27, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 4:30
to 6:30 p.m. at the Tallahassee Senior Center, located at 1400 N. Monroe Street
Next week's listening sessions will also give visually impaired
customers the opportunity to weigh-in on StarMetro's newest endeavor to provide
Braille signage on its bus stops, also known as StarStops.
Visually impaired customers will be able to review Braille options
under consideration for the new signage.
'We are 100 percent customer focused,' said Garrison. 'We are always
looking for ways to improve the system and make it more accessible.'
