KESQ NewsChannel 3 Palm Springs, CA: Bob Hope Airport to add facilities for deaf
As part of a disability settlement, Bob Hope Airport in Burbank will add monitors and a kiosk to make security, baggage and other information available for the deaf and hard of hearing.
The airport settlement with the Greater Los Angeles Agency on Deafness calls for the terminals to add monitors displaying messages, officials said yesterday.
The airport will also install a video information kiosk to help hearing-impaired passengers navigate the facility, arrange for sign-language interpreters and increase the number of teletype pay phones to at least nine.
The consent decree filed in August specifies that airport officials must meet the phone requirement within six months and install the information monitors within two years.
The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority will also pay $4,000 in damages to the plaintiffs and $68,000 in attorneys' fees
