Crossing the Rubicon, Part 2

Well, after giving up on the written word, I contacted the City Council by phone and got a return message from a Mary on Thurs 31 July in the Traffic division who had asked Aidan the engineer who said that the audio signals would be installed once all the visual signals are in place, in a couple/few weeks time.

Now, that means that, since I first noticed the signals being changed and asked about them on the 28th June, and it is now August, and there will be an undefined number of weeks yet before audio signals are added, a busy road (Douglas Road) is virtually impassible by those of us with impaired/no eyesight and many points along the route.

Q: Is this fine and dandy?
Q: Could the original audio signals have not been left in place until the new audio signals were installed?
Q: Could audio-visual signals not have been installed in the first place?
