We are scheduled to have Mr. Keith Johnson, Director of Paratransit services for HRT at this meeting. This follows our previous chapter meeting where we met with Norfolk City Councilwoman Andria McClellan who is one of Norfolk City representatives to the HRT board. She listened to what we had to say about transit services and passed them on to the CEO of HRT. This will be a great chance to find out what is new in transit and let Mr. Johnson know our concerns and suggestions for improvements. Our meeting is set for Saturday, March 18, 2022 from 2-3:30 PM in person at Ynot Italian Restaurant, 1517 Colley Ave., Norfolk, VA 23517 and on Zoom (details in the Chapter Information below.). We gather for lunch at 1 PM before the meeting. Please let me know if you will be joining us in person by Thursday, March 16 at 12 Noon so that I can let the restaurant know how many people to expect.

Street designs continue to evolve resulting in new challenges for blind pedestrians.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>The UNC Highway Safety Research Center in conjunction with Accessible Design for the Blind is looking for volunteers who are blind to participate in a study on the accessibility of Quick Build Bulb-Outs in the D. C. area. We want to find out whether different wayfinding cues like tactile surfaces, or vertical delineators such as plastic posts or raised surfaces that you can feel under foot or with your cane, improve accessibility of quick-build bulb-outs for people with little or no vision. Quick-build bulb-outs are areas of the street at a crosswalk that are marked with paint and/or flexible posts to show that the area is no longer available for motor vehicle use. This area is considered an extension of the sidewalk at street-level and is the appropriate place for pedestrians to wait to cross the street. This relatively quick and cheap change is made in order to shorten the length of the crosswalk and to improve drivers' ability to see pedestrians waiting to cross. Quick-build bulb-outs may also slow traffic.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>We are looking for experienced travelers who are comfortable using a long cane, who regularly travel independently outdoors, and who would be willing to participate in the research. If you decide to take part in the study, you will be asked to approach and cross several streets many times. The intersection does not have an accessible pedestrian signal but the mobility specialist with you will tell you when the WALK sign comes on. Compensation is $75 and travel to the study area can be reimbursed.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you are interested in participating in this study, please call me at 301-412-4224 or email me at: <a href="mailto:mbcleveland@fastmail.net">mbcleveland@fastmail.net</a> to find out if you are eligible for the study.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:18.0pt'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#202020'>Join us for the upcoming iBUG Café as we discuss personal assistant apps, including Aira, Be My Eyes and Facetime.<br> <br>WHEN: Sunday, March 12, 2023, </span><span class=gmaildefault><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>5-7 eastern and DONT FORGET THE CLOCKS WILL HAVE CHANGED (</span></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#202020'>4:00 to 6:00 PM Central Time</span><span class=gmaildefault><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>)</span></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#202020'> <br> <br>During our weekly iBUG Buzz or monthly iBUG Apple Workshop, we may demo an app and provide a high-level overview of the basic features of the app. The iBUG Cafe is a free "deep-dive" training session into an iOS built-in or third-party apps or genre of apps to gain a real hands-on, working understanding and utilization of the apps. <br> <br>The iBUG Cafe is facilitated by advanced iBUG member, Sree Roy, <br> We will be using the iBUG Zoom conference. <br><br>Join the Zoom meeting:<br></span><a href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fibugtoday.us18.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D4df096a1d765624b3d7355cf9%26id%3D0196efb20b%26e%3D55c1dc3c99&data=05%7C01%7C%7Cbc24b099a0154e87b0b808db1ff68dbd%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638138916023310112%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=QzyOPZ5%2FOdqKtGD%2B72XuYJDUVMFNS6Bq7xE31Xtns1I%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#007C89'>https://zoom.us/j/7428486329?pwd=M003RmZaa3pTbWRlZ00xbSs4YTlmUT09</span></a><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#202020'><br> <br>One tap mobile from a smartphone: +13462487799,,7428486329#,,,,*369978# US<br> <br>Dial from a phone: +1 346 248 7799 US<br>Meeting ID: 742 848 6329, Password: 369978<br> <br>Looking forward to seeing you this Sunday.<br> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#202020'>Regards,<br>The iBUG Today Team<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>Service Animal Owners please take note:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>News from Uber<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>Uber announced the 1-833-715-8237 phone number for people with Service Animals, who are denied service. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>Employees are trained to handle such calls.
