Agility on the Dots

Bursting through the lobby door, I jogged straight down the block until I reached the corner bus stop! Right along the curb sat a wide yellow tactile paving pad covered in neat rows of raised round bumps. Instant agility drill! I crouched low, dug my feet into the concrete, and high-stepped across the dotted pattern—hop, pivot, bounce! Every single step landed dead-center on a raised stud. At the edge of the grid, I propped a folded silver foil wrapper upright between two bumps to serve as our official finish pylon. First outdoor course of the morning cleared!
