Shawn Napier explained this was a <br />request given to TxDOT by a local citizen to install audible signals for a blind <br />person. Councilman Wilson wanted to know if we were participating. Shawn <br />informed the Council that it was all TxDOT money. Councilman Poston had <br />a concern about the signals going off all the time. Councilman Ray wanted to <br />know if the tones were discernable from other tones and if a blind person <br />would know which side the audible sound was coming from. Councilwoman <br />Wilkerson wanted to know if there had been a safety study done on the plaza. <br />Shawn Napier informed Council that he did not have information as to what <br />they did. Mayor Fendley asked if they wanted to table this and have TxDOT <br />bring Council more information. <br />Councilman Wilson said that there had been a complaint and by law when <br />there was a complaint, it was his understanding there wasn’t a lot TxDOT <br />could do. Councilman Wilson expressed that Council should let TxDOT take <br />care of this because they had received the complaint. <br />Motion to table this item by Councilwoman Wilkerson, in order to receive <br />additional information from TxDot.
