And more accessible and safer for people to access. Because much of the investment makes changes to the rightofway to protect muni to allow muni to move without having to move in and out of traffic, it also allows for changes on the street that make it safer for people to board muni and also make it safer for pedestrians in that area. Things like the bus boarding, the pieces of the sidewalk that kind of bulb out for Safety Improvement and reliability improvement. The other funding in this bond would go towards achieving the citys goal of vision zero which is a goal to reduce traffic fatalities to 0 by 2024 and really would put the majority of funding into Pedestrian Safety types of improvements. The bond itself does include a number of accessibility improvements. There is a heavy focus of the bond for elevator improvements at the shared muni downtown where the sclat escalators and elevators are. If that elevator is out of service and someone in a wheelchair has no way to access that st
Effective communication. The walk, dont walk signals dont satisfactory that criteria. We have seen son of the signals which are the visual signs of pedestrians and the rapid ticking noises or other tactile indicators that are used at those crosswalks. The sf mta has a problem by which a member of a public can request at a location. That is prioritized what is called a safety and access tool. There are many variables that an evaluator must look at recommended an installation as well as what type of aps should be installed. Those could include push about the button devices and rapidtext and vibrator tones. Once the person has requested aps, mta will provide that person with the following information. A preliminary prioritization score and preliminary test for the intersection and other that were requested and whether or not any work is being planned at that intersection and whether any aps will be installed within the next three years 3 years and the name of a phone number with a contact
Useful in my opinion to passengers travel by wheelchair. There is also always a conflict to providing between a pathway for blind users and wheelchair users that have to divert across this. There is a wider space between the dots and we are also making it all yellow. Right now there is black. So the purpose behind that is to comply with ada federal and state standards, but we will be marking the door ways in other ways. So people will know where to lineup with the sticker. We are still trying that out. We want to present first and foremost a color contrast. Thats the intent, a visual and tactile contrast for safety purposes for people with sight impairment for that strip. Even though black, people like it to know where to lineup, its not for their convenience and we will communicate that in another way. We are also expanding the directional bars. Right now its 1 foot by four 4foot, we are making it 3foot by 4foot. Because usually people are lined up in front. If you are sweeping with a

At the four center door locations. We also have detectable pathways for blind users. Bart usually tries things and to be honest we usually get it wrong but in practice we learn. For this particular example we start out with a 24inch pathway and now its too big, passengers using wheelchairs will complain. I

Bart usually tries things and to be honest we usually get it wrong but in practice we learn. For this particular example we start out with a 24inch pathway and now its too big, passengers using wheelchairs will complain. Its a pretty long way to traverse an across. Now its 12 inches and now to 6 inches and just as effective for our intend audience and less intrusive for those traveling with leading luggage and wheelchairs. We have expanded our user trial groups. We are sending out invi
