 WW>     The Pathfinder Tiles thread, as you will remember, was provoked by a
 WW> message from Sabina Bilder, the director of Disabled Student Services at
 WW> the University of Pittsburgh.  She was looking for input from blind and

 WW> the urban setting of the university campus,

Willie, whether to use pathfinder tyles at the university campus
there would not be easy to say to or not to, since I have not seen
the campus.  I know that I traveled around the LSU campus without
any pathfinder tyles.  However, at that time I had light
perception, and it help me.  If there are not any particular hard
to navigate places, then I would say that the expense could be
spent better somewhere else.  If there are hard to navigate places
across wide open places such asparking lots, or the like, then some
sort of markers would be of a lot of help.
