CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-07-11 | 4 | COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday July 11, 2018 6:30 p.m. to get input from this committee and see if we can work towards an agreement on a contract with Lime and then in the next couple of weeks we'll also be working with the City Manager to make sure that she is comfortable with us moving forward with this. So, what you have in your packet, I think it's the second exhibit, is LimeBike's parking strategy. And per the contract that we will have, which we attached a draft of that or an agreement to our RFP, so it was very clear what our requirements would be. We have a whole section on bike parking in that agreement, which was the first exhibit. You don't have to open up the first one, but the second one is fine. Rochelle Wheeler: So, two of those requirements for bike parking in that agreement, with whichever provider we select, are to develop this bike parking strategy. And that strategy is supposed to have two parts: Part A is about identifying. You can see Part A, identifying appropriate parking locations. And then Part B, which I think is what we'll focus on tonight, although I'll go through this whole thing, is on enforcement strategies. So this is what we're looking for input on tonight from the commission. Rochelle Wheeler: Before I go into what's in that strategy, I just want to say that, in addition to what the provider, what Lime would be doing, we also as a city will be setting performance goals and will be monitoring those goals and part of that will be about what percentage of bikes are properly parked. Through payments that Lime would be making, we will be using an independent contractor to do some verification of bicycles actually being parked correctly and the responsiveness to the other contract requirements. That's something that came out of our evaluation process, is wanting to have a better handle on the responsiveness to complaints, to mis-parked bikes or to bikes that are broken and need repair or things like that. So we will be also monitoring that and we will have in our agreement the option to impose penalties if performance measures are not met. Rochelle Wheeler: So with that, I think I will go through the parking strategy unless there are any just general questions on what I've described so far. Okay, great. So, like I said Part A is about identifying appropriate bike parking locations and LimeBike has a method of doing that, looking at where people are wanting to use them and they can see, because this is all app based, they can see where people are wanting bikes and so that's where they tend to put the bikes. Through this process, they would be working with us to also, maybe, designate areas where we don't want any bikes parked. Rochelle Wheeler: There are some, for example, some HOAs or the East Bay Regional Park District may decide they don't want any bikes in the Crown Memorial Beach area or certain parts of the Crown Memorial Beach area. So we can designate areas where no bikes would be parked as well, as well as where bikes can be parked. And obviously, on the positive side, the places that they tend to get located and the people want them are the ferry terminals. Those are the top, the Main Street ferry terminal is the top pick up and drop off location for the LimeBikes, which we were really happy to see in our evaluation because that means a lot of people are using that as a first and last mile connection to the ferry terminal and to transit. Rochelle Wheeler: So, I think the bulk of what we'll focus on tonight is probably the next section, Part A, which is about enforcement strategies. The first one is geo-fencing and this is actually a requirement for our agreement, that they use geo-fencing in their parking strategy.
