CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-09-12 | 13 | COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday September 12, 2018 6:30 p.m. boards and it's primarily goes from Broadway to Grand Street along Clement Street, and they're going to modernize it and make it accessible. I walked that distance to see and it needs a lot of work to make it accessible. And I have a meeting set up with her next Tuesday and to go over the plans. And she's also volunteering to come and do a presentation to us. I don't know when she'll be ready for it, but she would like to do that. And that's where that is. Commissioner Anto Aghapekian: The flyer that we talked about for the emergency workshop is planned, and I talked with Mastick's director and she was very happy to help out. And the flyers are being distributed at Mastick Center. And then the parks, I've been talking and there is a lot of enthusiasm. I would like for us to push for making even the existing parks at least somewhat accessible if they're not totally. At least something. And I got positive feedbacks but I will work with Susan to help out as much as I can. Okay? Commissioner Susan Deutsch: I think that is may be part of the plan that they're redoing the playground. Already planned. She apologized for not having, presenting those plans to us, but she said she presented it to others. The next time she'll let us know what's going on, and I'll keep in touch. Chair Elizabeth Kenny: Great. Yeah, and I think she also mentioned that the next park that they were going to work on would be the Estuary Park. When I was talking to her, it's something we were all included on. But that's the area of town that we're all talking about, it's Clement Street, it's what they were talking about the Planning Board, it's the Marina project where they're going to be having lots of universally designed units. So I think it would make great sense to have Gail Payne come and talk to us about the transportation project on Clement Street. Chair Elizabeth Kenny: Anybody who's tried to walk on Clement Street before, it's a big project, because a lot of it doesn't even have sidewalks. If we can reach out to Gail, Laurie, that would be great. Thank you, Commissioner Aghapekian. Commissioner Hall? [Commissioner Lisa Hall and Chair Elizabeth Kenny briefly discussed the upcoming election. ] Chair Elizabeth Kenny: As far as my reports on city council, well, they didn't meet in August, so I'm a little light on reporting. 5-B Climate Action Input Sessions Chair Elizabeth Kenny: I'm going to move on to the climate action input sessions. Those are coming up and I asked Laurie to attach it to our agenda just because I had sent it out to some different groups that I know of and I encourage you all to do that. Send it out to Alameda Special Education Parents Group, because there are needs out there that people have that we're just not going to think of unless they're brought to our attention. And I think that as many people who can have input especially people with disabilities is going to be important. And I encourage you all to attend one of these sessions. I don't believe there's any difference between the three sessions, so I don't think that you have to go to more than one if you're interested in going. Pick one. Alright, does anyone else want to talk about item 5B, the climate action? 09/12/18 Page 13 of 16 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-09-12.pdf |
