CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-07-11 | 12 | COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday July 11, 2018 6:30 p.m. that we're looking at when they park. That's the time to remind them, "Park correctly." And so in the proposal, it talked about six months for electric bikes, but I don't think we're having electric bikes, we're just having the pedal bikes. And so I'd like to see a commitment towards getting that, certainly within the life of the contract. Chair Beth Kenny: Another suggestion, gamification if you're going to do that, it would be great to see some sort of like where you enable LimeBike riders to get points for re-parking somebody else who might have misparked. And then I wanted to ask about how geo-fencing might work as far as, would it be something where we could say, in an area where we know, like at the Waters Edge Lodge, there's lots of people with mobility concerns. Could we block off that area from parking your bike or would it have to be the whole block or how specific is it? I know it can't get between the sidewalk and the grass area. And then would that be something where organizations that are providing services to people with mobility concerns could come to the City and say, "We want our area fenced-off." Or come to Lime and say, "We want our area fenced off." Rochelle Wheeler: Why don't I answer the second part of the locations, but do you want to talk about more of the technology and how specific you can get with that? Albert Lin: Yes, so we currently in our kind of dashboard, if you will, where we can control, visually see where everything is, where all bikes, everything are, as well as kind of establishing those geo-fences. So we basically, once we get the GPS coordinates, we just enter those in and then that will basically create however big of a parameter or however more specific, obviously, it can't be just one address. Chair Beth Kenny: Right. Albert Lin: But yes, it's relatively easy. Rochelle Wheeler: And then I think that the blocking off, if it's a public area, we would want that to come through the City and we'd want to work with whoever it is. We don't want to see half the City end up getting blocked off because one person is complaining for instance. But definitely the situation you're describing could be a place where there's a heavy concentration of people coming and going with mobility issues, or visual impairments that might be a good place to block off. And so I think we would work with individuals. Then there's also private property, when they work directly with Lime to say "They're in our apartment complex, we don't want your bikes at all in here". And so Lime works with those people directly. Chair Beth Kenny: Yes, I would want it to be a need-based thing. And how likely would it be for us to be able to get the hub locks on the LimeBikes? Albert Lin: That's a really good question. I think I'd have to talk to our product and engineering teams to see how much they can expedite that process, as right now it's just the pedal bikes alone. We'd have to outfit them with additional hardware, so that the biker could communicate with our servers to kind of establish that hub lock. So I'd have to get their take on that. 09/12/18 Page 12 of 29 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-07-11.pdf |
