Also, until Friday, 3/18, the samples of the bus stop tactile markings are at the Lighthouse for your examination - there are three options, and the Lighthouse (a.k.a. Jada) will record your vote on which is your first choice to report to Star Metro.

In an email posted to this list with subject line StarMetro Begins Installation of Brand New StarStops The announcement stated in part: Another accessibility feature of the new StarStops is a one-inch Brailleplate that will sit on the front of the pole four feet from the ground. This plate will feature the route letters in Braille and in raised lettering, as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act. At the time of the launch, all StarStops at the 43 transfer intersections will feature Braille plates.All other Braille plates will be installed shortly after the launch. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sila Miller" <silam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <tabi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2011 9:01 PM Subject: [tabi] Re: Monthly meeting reminderYes indeed! Think he's working on a name change, Heckle! Seriously, thank you, John! Persistence paid off! This didn't happen over night and I fullyrealize that it involved time, commitment and determination. Again, THANKYOU! Now lets hope they can get the tactile markings so that blind people canlocate those poles to read those signs and catch those buses! And use thatservice and get out and about and show the world of Talley that blind people are capable and independent and yes, dare devils!
