DESIGN WITH THE BLIND IN MIND | BENEFIT

The city landscape “with the blind in mind” has rich, walkable network of predictable and generous “sidewalks with a dense array options and choices all avilable at the street level”; well-balanced space between people and cars; “accessible, well-connected mass transit system that connects all parts of the city and region all around.”

“Movement, memory and sensation other than sight contribute to the experience of the city landscape.”

“It’s noted that the NSW BioNet Atlas search found one record of Dusky Woodswallow (a bird listed as vulnerable under the BC Act) occuring on Glebe Island. However, due to the site being part of an operational port area and the lack of natural habitat present, the site does not offer any viable natural habitat for this species. It’s unlikely that this species would inhabit or use the site to any notable extent, and if present, would generally be in the locality as a transient only.”
