There are areas that can be designated as no parking zones, and those would show up as areas when you're picking up a bike, say, so that you can know when you drop off your bike, "Oh I can't park it on that one block" or "I can't park it in that commercial zone, so I'm going to have to be thinking about where I park it before I get to my end destination." There also can be these pop-up messages which you see on the right which can say, "Remember this is a no parking zone as well. Jenn Barrett, Vice Chair: Sorry, is there anything that physically prevents them from parking the bike there? Like does it not lock back in or something? Rochelle Wheeler: So we have Albert Lin here, who is the Operations Manager in our area for Lime, and I think I know the answer but I'm going to let him describe that. Albert Lin: Yes, sure. So currently right now we do not have any sort of physical thing that will prevent them from locking it. That's something we're looking into certainly six months' time. But we're also looking into alternative ways of, maybe, imposing fines, violations, etc. Rochelle Wheeler: And that is something that I know that Lime is doing in other areas where they really don't want these bikes. If you have people who are repeatedly mis-parking them, those can be identified easily and you can start fining them when they're putting the bikes in the wrong place or you can just delete their account and say, "You're a bad player, so we're taking you out." And we can come back to all of these. I'll just give a big overview. And the second one that they propose is gamification. So that is generally used for positive, to enforce positive behavior and create incentives for good behavior. So when you do good things like park in the right place, you get little badges or bonuses. Rochelle Wheeler: I'm sure some of you have seen this in other social media apps. So that is something that they have said they are working out and testing and rolling out and would be using. The next thing is actual physical signage to encourage people to park in the right place. That can be a decal in the proper parking areas on the sides of the sidewalk, generally in that landscaping strip that's between the curb and the sidewalk. Rochelle Wheeler: Also, some cities have tested out and we could work with Lime to paint boxes and maybe have some sort of signage so that then you know that that's where the bikes would get parked to be used and then at the end of your ride you would use those. And you would use these in select locations where you have maybe a really congested area and people keep mis-parking the bikes. We would not do this for every single location around the city. It's just a way to kind of create some order where you're having a lot of problems. And this would probably be used in places like Park or Webster street where we have a lot of congestion of uses and people and objects and parking meters and a-frame signs and things like that. Rochelle Wheeler: Then there's, obviously, education. So they have said that they provide education at events and then they also can do that with in-app messaging also to remind people about proper riding, using a helmet and also proper bike parking and what the acceptable places are 09/12/18 Page 5 of 29 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-07-11.pdf |
