This is great! really, really great!
I must say I was a 'doubting Thomas' when news of this first broke, but to see it coming together so quickly - yah, mon and big ups to all involved.
It will definitely change the experience of walking to/from town - for the good, and safety will be greatly improved.
Here's a thought - maybe people walking along the sidewalk will not be 'beeped' by route taxiis!! It makes sense right? Why beep a guy walking along the sidewalk, if he wanted a taxi he would be out on the road. Wouldn't that be great! I mean, think how many beeps will be eliminated if that happens. Getting 'beeped' 10 times a minute is annoying, so maybe these sidewalks will have a serendipitous noise reduction impact too.
