i think the thumb of rule should always be "public safety" and
other considerations are secondary.  would you rather see a person
employed or crunched by a subway.  in fact, employment and
modifications are not mutually exclusive.  these organizations who
tie the two together are clouding the issue.

i do feel that more thought needs to be made when cities and
counties put audible lights in where there're not needed and when
tactile strips are put in where not needed.  here in sacramento,
there are many star and dangerous t intersections but the only
places which have tactile edges are downtown grid intersections,
where virtually no blind person has no problems.  was that a run on
sentence!  oh well... chow for now
