[IL-Talk] Chicago Meeting on Accessible Traffic Signals

[Kelly Pierce]

I will be there and hope to see you as well.  For anyone interested in
this topic, this is the opportunity to learn, offer feedback, have
your voice heard, and have all your questions answered. The major
people in city government on this issue will be at the meeting and be
able to answer any question someone has.
