Disabilities and whereas Municipal Transportation Agency in the past engaged in efforts to make the surface light rail system accessible to passengers with mobility disabilities and key stops. And whereas the existing surface light rail system has sizable gaps between accessible key stops in certain areas making travel for people with mobility disabilities more challenging and whereas, currently wait side platforms at accessible key stops lack lighting, signals for transit operators and passenger seating result in unequal facilities. Now, therefore be it resolved that fees ability study about the construction additional key stops via way side platforms be made a priority for the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency and be it further resolved that the Disability Community will be actively involved in the process of exploring and choosing where new accessible stops might be placed and be it further resolved that way side platforms have accessible gaps at key stops and commercial
You . Thank you for that comment. Thank you. My next item is on the Mayors Office with disability website. We have discussed with our web masters to update the web page. The city as a whole is moving to a new content system. One of the advantages is that its going to be consistent across about 100 or so different departments. Its also a system that will be easier for people to access on mobile devices because it will have drop down types of menus. Our office is still in the very early stages of discussion about this process. What weve done is weve created an outline on how we want to see the page structured. We are aiming at a page that is very simple and intuitive because thats what i need. We also want a web page that will provide better links to services to connect to other city departments and some of those city departments that have great content are the public library, recreation and parks and the office of small business. So we want links to those. We also want to connect to oth
Received inquiries. Additionally we received eight complaints for curb ramp request and 11 Service Request and one request for an accommodation. Records have shown in the past that a decline in the number of contacts we received during the Holiday Season is pretty typical and we expect a significant increase within the next coming months. The manuality of our complaints was about noncompliant barricades, damaged curb ramps and damaged sidewalks. Other complaints included power door maintenance here at city hall, Service Issues with sf mta and elevator maintenance at sros. Most were inquiries about people seeking information about affordable and accessible housing and service for animal information and how to request for housing. Many of those services and support for animal inquiries were from tennants currently facing eviction by private landlords. This is an issue we are continuing to see. In curb ramp related news we want the public to know that the department of public works has se
Session for would be june 23, 2014, titled complaints and request for accommodations. Again, same time, same location, room 421, city hall. And we will send that to you by email. Carla, i have one question as well. During the trainings, i was curious if there ever needed to be covered a fourth module when it comes to complaints and request. When it comes to communicating or working with people with disabilities and making sure the communication is effective and understanding between both parties especially when it comes to local government officials. I know there was an issue that arose during a disaster training. I wonder if there is a way to improve upon communication between the both parties between people with disabilities and local government. Sure. And Effective Communication with the module is not only about making the coordinator an aware of the obligation but also different resources and it would include some disability etiquette about the proper way to talk with people and to
