THUNDER BAY — It didn’t take Kiri Butter long to figure out there’s an accessibility problem for visually impaired pedestrians trying to navigate the crosswalks on the city’s most prominent roundabout.
Butter, who has her sight, works for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, an organization that’s partnering with researchers at Lakehead University and the City of Thunder Bay to determine what steps need to be taken, if any, to improve safety at the roundabout. “Yes, they’re accessible to wheelchairs and other individuals, but when it comes down to people with vision loss, we may need a few other tools and resources in the crosswalks to make it a safe environment, so they’re able to go to the grocery store.”
One thing he knows for sure is that people with vision loss it’s harder to judge when to cross in a roundabout.
