Ahh, I see you really do know him Sila! <smile> Along with those bus stop tactile sidewalk markings (I take it you meant sidewalk markings), the only other thing is some solution for a rider to know which stop they're approaching (especially if they need to pull a cord).

Think he's working on a name change, Heckle! Seriously, thank you, John! Persistence paid off! This didn't happen over night and I fully realize that it involved time, commitment and determination. Again, THANK YOU! Now lets hope they can get the tactile markings so that blind people can locate those poles to read those signs and catch those buses! And use that service and get out and about and show the world of Talley that blind people are capable and independent and yes, dare devils!
