Karen, have any of the participants here, have any of their comments sort of lit like a little thought bubble above your head and giving you ideas for next year or ideas for your work in general?

I think as far as education goes, we, I think, need to be more proactive.
8:22
proactive about getting the word out there about all the different needs.

You know, when we're designing intersections and we're putting in lights for pedestrians, it's not to inconvenience the driver.
8:37
It really is because there is a need for that.
8:40
And when people hear like the beeping in order to be able to cross a signal, it's I know sometimes people can find that annoying but it's so necessary and I think this right here gave us a good example of the education that we can do of getting people more empathetic and understanding and I think sometimes as designers because we have more of that background that we forget how often that other people don't and I think the more that we can educate people the more we can get the word out there the more that we can get the general public aware of everybody has to be able to navigate our roadway.
9:14
It's open for the public.
