[IL-Talk] Chicago Meeting on Accessible Traffic Signals

[Patti S Chang]

Kelly, 

Thanks for posting this. Do I do hope we have great representation. 

PUBLIC MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT

The Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD) and the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) invite you to attend an Open House Public Meeting regarding a pilot project to install Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) in the Central Loop and Citywide. APS provide information in non-visual formats (such as audible tones, speech messages, and/or vibrating surfaces) to pedestrians who have visual disabilities as an aid to cross streets at signalized locations. The goal of this pilot project is to install APS equipment at various environments throughout the city to gain insight on best practices for design and installation.

Date:	Thursday, July 18, 2019
Time:	4:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Location: 	City of Chicago
	Chicago City Hall
	121 N LaSalle Street, Room 1103
	Chicago, IL 60602

The purpose of this meeting is to introduce the project, APS prioritized locations, and sample equipment, and to receive input on the proposed improvements.  The meeting will be an open house format (with no formal presentation). City representatives will be available to discuss the project and answer your questions.

Comments can be provided at the time of the meeting and will be accepted through August 1, 2019.  More info is available at:
