Less than one week after telling CBC Windsor how difficult it is to follow city council meetings, things have improved for Rebecca Blaevoet.
Blaevoet said she was frustrated the city was not making council packages available in braille.
The city said it couldn't at the time of Blaevoet's original request a few months ago, because a machine that converts the written word to braille was broken.
The city now has a new embosser.
