CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2017-04-12 | 28 | ITEM 2-B COMMISSION ON DISABILITY ISSUES MEETING MINUTES OF Wednesday, April 12, 2017 6:30 p.m. Victoria, "We've got a lot of drive-bys." And she said, "Oh well. It doesn't stop at the places on the schedule unless there's somebody waiting there." I said, "But no, I'm talking about we've got a lot of places on the schedule that there is no sign. No one would stand there in a million years, knowing or thinking that the bus is going to be there." These are all things that they're going to be working on. There's a lot of things that need to be done and I hope that if you are, or I know lot of you are at work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays but, if you have the chance to and you see the bus, go ahead and get on it. I also asked, "why can't we go ahead and put the shuttle in the parade?' Arnold Brillinger: I was told, "Well, there's not enough time." I went in after our last meeting. I was there in February. The Friday after that Wednesday. So, it mystified me it takes the city that long to work. I'm realizing now that she meant that there's not enough time from when the new contract starts, because the new contract starts the 3rd of July. The Monday of that week. And to get it wrapped and all that kind of stuff. So, we'll probably see it in the next 4th of July parade. Not in this year. But the following year. And we're inviting all of you to come and ride on it. I'm thinking that that would be a good thing to have the Transportation Committee also to ride on it. Make a big deal of it. Beth Kenny: Yes, I'm so happy that you are doing this because we've really been offered a seat at the decision-making table as to where they going to contract the transportation through, and then also Commissioner Lewis has been doing something similar but with the taxi services that they going to contract with. To me it's wonderful. We're getting at the table where decisions are being made and thank you for doing that. Arnold Brillinger: Because, Beth, in response to that, Ikind of had the feeling that a lot of times, we are given presentations, and we're just asked to rubber stamp them. Now, we're saying that, "Hey there are chances for people from this commission to be involved in those decisions before they get rubber-stamped or stamped." So, that's a good deal. Beth Kenny: Yes. Thank you. Lisa Hall: So, one quick question then. So that means we won't be able to have the shuttle for this 4th of July parade is basically what they've said? Arnold Brillinger: Right. So if we're going to do a float or some other transportation. Lisa Hall: So, we need to figure out something else. Some other transportation. A truck or something else if we're going to do that. Arnold Brillinger: Yes. Beth Kenny: And that's where perhaps partnering with somebody like the Independent Living Center could work well for us. If we couldn't, maybe get a trolley or something with them, that would be a great way to get this done. Susan Deutsch: I agree. 8.
