[NFBSea] Floating bus stops

[Anna Zivarts]

Article about how in BC, Canada, a court ruled that floating bus stops discriminate against blind people.

I bring this up because I saw a floating bus stop proposed as part of a bike lane plan for Beacon Ave. If I had a couple of comments from people about how these are difficult for access for the blind community, I could reach out to SDOT and make sure they choose the design that puts the bike lane in the street, instead of behind the bus stop where you’re expected to cross to access the bus.
