Accessibility for Visually Impaired

What problem would you like to solve?

For visually impaired people living in the Bronx, there should be a talking virtual system at the corner of streets to help them cross the streets.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

For visually impaired people and seniors, it can be challenging and scary for them to cross the street. A virtual talking system, which is already located in areas in Manhattan, may prove helpful and provide safe crossing for these populations living in the Bronx.

What idea do you have to address the problem?
