Learned the cities that implemented only one or two of those key elements were not successful. This next slide represents the committees first recommendation and that was to increase the supply of blue zones. Shown on the picture was a blue zone itself with the mta blands and increasing the number of blue zones is a local initiative. We dont have to go to the state to ask for any changes in state law to do that. One of the reasons why increasing the supply of blue zones is so important is that blue zones actually provide the highest level of access in the parking environment. Blue zones are located on a relatively level surface, they have a clear space on the sidewalk adjacent to allow for a ramp van to be able to discharge their van and they have curb ramps it allow you to get from the street level on to the sidewalk.

We who have a disability need to be able to easily find parking and have parking thats near where we want to go to eat, to shop, whatever our issues, whatever our needs, our interests, we need to be able to get close to those destinations. Its important also to acknowledge that we came from Different Levels of information. Some of us had very strong ideas about what might be Acceptable Solutions and what were unAcceptable Solutions. During the 6 months of our deliberations three of us changed our minds. This is regarding the issue of whether or not to ask the state to delete the exemption for meter payment. Some of us said no, no, no, keep that for us. In the course of our questions, of our discussions of the research that staff di
