CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2007-09-24 | 3 | Commission on Disability Issues September 24, 2007 Minutes Page 3 of 3 Chair Lord-Hausman encouraged the members to be attentive to the meeting agendas of other Boards and Commissions that may be of interest to the Commission. 4. Alameda Hospital Health Fair: The Alameda Hospital Health Fair will be held on October 20'2007, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 pm. The Commission will have a table at the event. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS Transportation Coordinator Barry Bergman and the secretary updated the Commission on the recently installed audible/countdown traffic signals. Of the twenty-three intersection locations where signals have been modified to include audible and pedestrian time countdowns, six locations have had the audible portion deactivated due to adjacent neighborhood noise concerns. City staff is investigating the installation of push button activators at these locations to reduce the frequency of operation. Staff requested that the Commission agendize a future meeting for discussion on additional audible/countdown locations and priority. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS/NON-AGENDA ITEMS 1.
