The court-ordered independent monitor documented APS installation at 78 intersections, eight more than required in the first year. “The report suggests that the city is figuring this out, but obviously slower than we would want,” Weisberg said. “It's important that when we're revamping an entire system, lessons are learned … so blind pedestrians can use these APS safely and effectively.” The Chicago case is a reminder to all cities that APS are not optional, she said. Disability Rights Advocates and several other groups sued Chicago in 2019 because it was “behind other large pedestrian cities,” Weisberg said.
