Evening all,

Haven’t posted in a long time and it’s great to see all the responses on this issue. I agree with Gene, this is controversial and is an ongoing problem in NYC and the greater region.

On another topic Grace brought up concerning canes.  The pediatric belt cane is a fantastic device for early mobility that I’m currently using with a student with very positive results.  Thanks to our friends at SafeToddles.

John

The city says they will hasten installation of detectable warning surfaces - buy they promised that 30 years ago.
