CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-07-11 | 8 | COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday July 11, 2018 6:30 p.m. of reasons. Have you considered at all putting language on the actual bike? So that when they're riding, it's right there like, "Do not block sidewalks" or something. Rochelle Wheeler: Yes, I think that we have talked about the best opportunity for that is generally on the basket and that we could have something that is specific to Alameda because the bikes are manufactured the same for all of their markets, but we could attach something to the basket, I believe. Jennifer Rolloff: Can I jump back in now? So with some of the apps that I have downloaded on my phone, I can opt in or out of, I think they call it push notifications. And so you just get periodic things, whether it's anecdotes, updates, so is there a way to almost mandate push notifications like reminder, and everybody gets a reminder once a month, once a quarter, or various reminders for certain weekends to not block or things like that? Do you do push notifications now? Albert Lin: I don't think we do, but that seems like it's pretty simple to do with our engineering team, especially we could tailor even for Alameda itself and maybe it's a big event coming up and users that are opening up the app within a set area can get push notifications. Jennifer Rolloff: Right. As they go to use it, it comes up. Albert Lin: Yes. Jennifer Rolloff: Yes. Or as they come up, they get that alert. Albert Lin: Yes. Chair Beth Kenny: And just to clarify, Commissioner Roloff, are you suggesting that that would be directly about education around the bike parking that would be pushed regularly to people? Jennifer Rolloff: Yes. Or I think I'm just sort of brainstorming out loud. Albert Lin: So yes, I think it would be good for parking, but you could expand on that for whatever. For the community. Chair Beth Kenny: Commissioner Deutsch. Susan Deutsch: Well, I really think you've done a really good job in exploring issues related to the bike parking because I think in driving around Alameda, I have seen a lot of bikes parked in odd places. So I think that all the suggestions have been great. I'd like to echo Arnold's idea of maybe having some bikes that older people can ride, people who are not comfortable riding on a regular bike, like a trike, or something that a disabled person could ride. That would be a great addition. And I also I'm a little bit concerned about the helmet issue. Susan Deutsch: I think there's potential for head injuries, especially the ways I see some teenagers riding the bikes. So it would be great if we could come up with a strategy for the helmet issue.
