CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2017-02-08 | 10 | COMMISSION ON DISABILITY ISSUES MEETING MINUTES OF Wednesday, February 8th, 2017 6:30 p.m. BART stations and so we talked about it even today is doing a better job of getting the word out about those services. We just have a new AC Transit service line 19 along Buena Vista avenue, for example that goes between Fruitvale BART, and Oakland Downtown BART and so basically we need to do a better job getting the word out of how to get to Oakland and we're fortunate to have a lot of ways. Chair Kenny: Okay. With the capital improvements, I believe we have a Commissioner who is not here tonight, Commissioner Franco who has looked at different spots where she thought pedestrian crossings might need a little bit more marking or where we've heard from the public. I would love it if she could get in touch with you guys and mention those spots to you if she hasn't already. Gail Payne: That would be helpful and what is her name again? Chair Kenny: Commissioner La Donna Franco. Gail Payne: Okay. Chair Kenny: It's through the Alameda County Transportation Commission, but I never knew about the wheelchair and scooter breakdown service, that's pretty amazing. I've had plenty of clients who have had issues with their scooters and wheelchairs, so that's a completely free service? Gail Payne: Yes. Chair Kenny: Oh wow! That is wonderful. Gail Payne: Yeah. And so is the hospital discharge service. They are both administered directly by the Alameda County Transportation Commission. Chair Kenny: Great. Commissioner Brillinger? Arnold Brillinger: The wheelchair breakdown thing, is that for wheelchairs that are broken down at your house? Gail Payne: Anywhere, so if you are in an emergency situation. Arnold Brillinger: Oh, I've called them, and it says, "We'll get back to you next Monday.' Gail Payne: Okay. Arnold Brillinger: They're only open certain days, I mean certain hours per day. Gail Payne: Oh. I thought it is for emergency. Let me look at. Arnold Brillinger: I did too, but I called them just to find out and I got an answering machine, it says we'll call you, leave a message, we'll call you tomorrow. Gail Payne: Okay. Arnold Brillinger: And to me, that didn't sound like anything I want or needed. Gail Payne: Okay. 10 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2017-02-08.pdf |
