City’s Mobility team (team which oversees the Public
Right-of-Way) is launching a pilot project with aBeacon.
This is an accessible pedestrian signal with Bluetooth sound
activation. The system is activated on demand by those who
need it when crossing an intersection. Brief details on the
product are provided below. As the initial part of this
pilot project we are targeting a location in downtown as
well as near the Tampa Lighthouse for the Blind and Low
Vision. We are interested in your feedback on a logical
location where this product may be most helpful for
community members with visual disabilities. As an example,
would an intersection near the Marion Transit Center be the
most helpful option for those working or traveling to
downtown for business/pleasure? What downtown intersection
would you recommend?
