CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-07-11 | 10 | COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday July 11, 2018 6:30 p.m. Anto Aghapekian: That's the City? Rochelle Wheeler: Yes, SeeClickFix is a way to get that request to the City or to give that complaint to the City. I don't know if you want to bring that up, that's in the bottom of this strategy. You can see it written out there. So you see it, you click like on the website. I think that's what the click means. And then fix, is the City fixes it. So if you look that up online you can find the City's website. Laurie might look it up for you right now, SO you can see what that looks like. Anto Aghapekian: Well, the question I have is, a few weeks ago on a street, on a sidewalk where it meets the street, it was not for wheelchairs, but there was a lady stuck in her wheelchair and she couldn't get back on the sidewalk, she couldn't get back on the street and we happened to be there. We helped her out and we talked and she said, she's been sitting there for almost an hour, people zipping by her. So do you think I have any chance of calling SeeClickFix and see if they can include people in wheelchairs that are stuck? Maybe Arnold has had experiences like that yourself, where stuck with your wheelchair because of the street, the sidewalk. Arnold Brillinger: Okay, okay, can you tell us again what the problem was? Anto Aghapekian: Oh, the problem was a person, a lady in her wheelchair was stuck between the sidewalk curb that slopes down to the street. It was not done properly, it was haphazard, no asphalt and she was stuck there. She couldn't back out and she couldn't go forward and she was sitting there and we happened to be there and we helped her out. And my question is, can we have an organization like SeeClickFix in order to make the wheelchair people, excuse me, to assist people in wheelchair that are stuck. And I was thinking that maybe with your experience in the wheelchair, you may have had occasions where you're stuck. Arnold Brillinger: Okay, I think we're getting off the topic. Chair Beth Kenny: Our staff person, Laurie, is actually the SeeClickFix administrator. So that's something that maybe you guys can talk about together. Laurie Kozisek: Yes, I'm not the administrator, I use it. Chair Beth Kenny: Oh sorry. Laurie Kozisek: But SeeClickFix is so that we can schedule to do the maintenance a few weeks from now. If you have an immediate emergency, you call 911 if it's really bad, or you call Public Works or you call the non-emergency police or Fire number and Fire does a lot of what they call lift assist, where they come and they help somebody who's fallen down. So that would be the best thing. Anto Aghapekian: Okay. Rochelle Wheeler: And just quickly on your second point about the increasing popularity, I think 09/12/18 Page 10 of 29 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-07-11.pdf |
