Dear Colleagues, I'm involved with the Commission on Disability in Acton, Massachusetts and have accepted the challenge of helping to design and build a braille Trail in our town's Arboretum. The Internet has some information but very little on design and construction.I wonder if anyone on this list has a working knowledge of braille trails or knows someone who does. Please let me know if you do. thanks George Hi George, There are a lot of sites on the Internet to look at .........
