Hi Gary,
   In your message to Beth Hatch-Alleyne you mention the possibility

of sighted people appreciating and utilizing the tiles themselves.
I believe this message was addressing the use of these tiles in subways.
If this is the case, as a sighted person I can definitely say that
the tiles would be of assistance to us as well. Of course, I am not
speaking for all sighted people, but many a time when rushing through
the subway system in Philadelphia, I've come close to the edge. As
you cannot constantly look down when you walk, the tiles could be
quite handy.
