CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-07-11 | 6 | COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday July 11, 2018 6:30 p.m. per the City's direction on where to park. There's also, the next item is something called hub locks. This kind of, I think gets to your question earlier. So do you want to explain the hub lock idea? Albert Lin: So currently on our electric scooters, we can have the ability to lock them through an app. And SO when I mentioned to you, "Oh we don't have the current functionality," that's for our pedal bikes only that don't have any sort of e-assist or any hardware or software that we can communicate directly with. So that's essentially what this would be. Jenn Barrett, Vice Chair: Okay. Rochelle Wheeler: I didn't quite understand that explanation, but it's a little technical, but just to also explain like that, in order to lock the bike, you have to open up the app again. That means that, then there's I think an opportunity for you to get direct alerts or like, "No, you are not in the right place, definitely. Do not park your bike here.' Whereas right now with the bikes we have now, you don't have that. You can just close the lock and walk away. You don't have to open your app again and interact with it. Rochelle Wheeler: And then the last thing is actually something that came up, which was a great idea that came up through the interview process, which was being able to integrate with the City's SeeClickFix system, which probably many of you guys know about, where when you see a problem, a pothole, a car blocking the sidewalk, a tree limb that fell down, you can alert the City through SeeClickFix. It's online, and so the option would be to integrate Lime Bikes, reporting problems with Lime Bike with SeeClickFix so that through that system, you could report Lime Bikes being a problem, and that is helpful for people who don't have the app on their phone already for Lime Bike. You can do that if you're a Lime bike user, or even if you're not and you download the app, but I think a lot more people are familiar with SeeClickFix. That's generally where we're trying to funnel people's concerns and complaints, and then that could kind of automate that process, this relieves, I think the staff burden of responding to complaints, and I think also is probably ultimately easier for Lime as well. Rochelle Wheeler: Those are the strategies that Lime has presented. They proposed in the proposal to have a rate of 90%, at least at minimum, a target of 90% of bikes being parked correctly on average. I think that would be per month, and these are the strategies they would use to get to that. What we're looking for you guys, and I will also be giving input on this strategy, but we're looking to the commission now to get any input on whether you think this is adequate, whether you have other concerns, whether there's more we should be doing, or things we should be doing differently. Chair Beth Kenny: Great, thank you very much. And as Rochelle stated, I was fortunate to be part of the interview process, and it was apparent in that interview process that a ton of work had gone on before we got to the interview process. So I want to thank you for all the stuff that you've been doing to make this happen. We generally go around and ask questions, so I'm going to start with you Commissioner Brillinger. Arnold Brillinger: Yes. Has the City proposed any equivalents for disabled people? 09/12/18 Page 6 of 29 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-07-11.pdf |
