Yes they are nice to have in places where the traffic is hard to gauge by sound and I would rather prefer to have them in those areas, but if they are not there it doesn’t mean that I won’t try to cross that street it just means I have to be more cautious. even if the intersection has an audible signal they’re not often loud enough to even hear over the traffic, so I think that defeats the purpose of them in the first place. The ones that I like the best are the ones that tell you what street the sign is green for. For example, when I go to Cross pueblo boulevard and Lehigh, the signal will tell me which walk sign is on for which street. Not that I can’t figure that out on my own but it is definitely nice for it to tell me. There is also a left turn there and people can turn on the green, and if I’m just crossing using the sounds of the traffic sometimes people are only turning left and not going straight and I’m going to get run over.<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Mon, Jan 20, 2020 at 8:46 AM Curtis Chong via Colorado-Talk <<a href="mailto:colorado-talk@nfbnet.org">colorado-talk@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Greetings:</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>I am not really conflicted about this. Yes, I do agree that if an audible signal is present, it should be audible even if the traffic volume is very loud. But I disagree that these are necessary for every intersection in the city. It sounds like the person complaining about this doesn't feel comfortable crossing streets at intersections where there is no audible traffic signal. This is a problem because it means that his ability to travel anywhere is severely limited since audible signals are definitely in the minority.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Cordially,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Curtis Chong</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b>From:</b> Colorado-Talk <<a href="mailto:colorado-talk-bounces@nfbnet.org" target="_blank">colorado-talk-bounces@nfbnet.org</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Gary Van Dorn via Colorado-Talk<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, January 18, 2020 6:06 PM<br><b>To:</b> Dan Burke via Colorado-Talk <<a href="mailto:colorado-talk@nfbnet.org" target="_blank">colorado-talk@nfbnet.org</a>><br><b>Cc:</b> Gary Van Dorn <<a href="mailto:garyvdrn@msn.com" target="_blank">garyvdrn@msn.com</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> [Colorado-Talk] Contact7 getting results: Belmar crosswalk signals causing problems<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><a href="https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/contact7/contact7-getting-results-belmar-crosswalk-signals-causing-problems" target="_blank">I have very mixed emotions concerning this story</a>.
