Please, please take the time to complete this, I will by close of today. Too long this issue has been floating around. We finally got the law passed, so let’s get this wrapped up. Issue of safety for the public, NOT just the blind community. Oh, and all that is needed is the sound we already know, the sound all cars make!!
