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

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.

Loop, it was wonderful. You can hear everything through the head set its just a good technology. Those are my comments oovment briefly we are going to be indicating displaying on the platforms whether its a new or old train and creating a symbol by it to be tied to the marking on the flat form. So there will be an audio, visual, a color coding tie in between the designated cars and the cars will have a symbol. It will be a green bike symbol or ada blue wheelchair area on the side of the car. You will get a clue on the side of the car. There will be passengers that are confused. I have one more comment about the bicycles. Its going to be door 1 and 3. What was the compromise for the bikes . One of the doors will have bikes. Andre ethier 1 or 3 depending on which direction the train is traveling. Thats another confusing part. Okay, thank you. I have a couple of questions. Obviously quite a bit of effort and time went into issues that surfaced last year and i appreciate what bart has done
