Gene Hubbard, a 69-year-old senior from Milwaukee lost his eyesight from diabetes. But he hasn't let his physical limitation get in the way of living a productive life. Gene, like a number of other visually challenged individuals, relies on bus transportation to take him to and from his job. He has followed this arduous routine for roughly 20 years.

Gene is usually capable of navigating the intersection where he catches the bus for his morning commute. Just a short time ago, however, it became a construction zone. It soon became a maze of unfamiliar cones and barrels. Without some assistance, Gene may have ended up in a hazardous situation.

He remarked to local WITI news reporters, “If I don’t have a regular locating point to start from, I may as well be in the middle of the ocean.”
