Item 5A is Commission and Board Liaison Reports. So in this section, we need people to talk about if their sub-committees have met and what has happened, or the board or commission that you're assigned to, if there's anything that Commission on Disability should be aware of. So Commissioner Brillinger, Vice-Chair Brillinger, would you like to go first? Arnold Brillinger: Yes. I want to talk about the Transportation Commission. The important thing that I want to make sure that you know is that the ICS, that's where AC Transit meets with officials from Alameda and goes over the different routes and how things were working in Alameda, they've got a meeting, I believe it's on the 18th at 10:00 AM in the morning, and it's in the room right next to the conference room, right back there. They're going to be talking about having AC Transit include the Main ferry terminal, the Main Street ferry terminal. They've got three different options. It's online that you can check it out. If you want, you can send me an email, and I'll pass it over to you of where it is.

I can't get into a taxi. I have to use the buses and BART, and so forth. And also, I could get on the ferry. So I'm always interested in how to make that easier. So I just wanted to bring that up to the Commission, so that you would be aware of it. Beth Kenny: Thank you. Is there anything else you would like to discuss? I think you did a street fair? Arnold Brillinger: Well, we did a street fair, and Jen and Lisa and Tony was there. Anto helped with getting the stuff over to Park Street, and also taking it back. And so we did have a lot of participation here from the Commission. One of the things was we were in front of the Walgreens, right there on Park Street, and next to us were a couple of other booths, and they were all up on the sidewalk, even though most of the people were down in the street. But they were up on the sidewalk because across the street from us was where the big rides were, the things for kids to play on, the 12/13/17 Page 7 of 16 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2017-10-11.pdf |
