Description:
This 1998 photograph depicted a publicly-accessible staircase, which had been designed with consideration for those that were visually-impaired. Note that the underside aspect of this structure had been cordoned off by the inclusion of a fountain-pool, and seating area, in order to prevent the visually-impaired from walking beneath the low-hanging staircase, thereby, avoiding head or bodily injuries. In this way, normally unused, though potentially dangerous walk-through space, was turned into an attractive, and safe amenity. See PHIL# 9047, and 9049 for additional views of this structure.
