Okay,

I
have

a

unfamiliar
with
zoom
controls
in
the
top
right
corner
of

you'd

see
just
sharon

your
screen

gallery.
If
you'd

to
see
us
all
and
you'll
see
sharon
highlighted
in
a
yellow
box
and
again
we
have
the
live
transcript
available
for
you.
A
I'm
joined
tonight
by
rick
scott
who's,
the
deputy
director
of
infrastructure,
maintenance
for
the
department
and
irene
ding
who's,
going
to
be
doing
most
of
the
talking
tonight.
She's
the
project
manager
for
this
ada
transition
plan
update.
We
have
several
other
dot.
Colleagues
on
the
call
tonight
in
case
we
get
asked
questions
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
that
we
need
their
help
with
a
bit
of
housekeeping.
A
A
This
meeting
is
scheduled
till
7
30..
I
doubt
we're
going
to
need
that
much
time,
but
I
wanted
to
give
us
plenty
of
time
to
go
through
the
content
and
any
questions,
and
I
am
recording,
although
you
should
have
all
gotten
that
notice
at
the
beginning,
when
you
logged
in
any
questions
before
we
get
started
with
the
presentation.
B
B
B
So
this
requires
that
cities
evaluate
their
services
and
programs
to
determine
if
they
are
in
compliance
with
ada
and
it
prevents
discriminating
against
people
with
disability
in
1994,
the
city
performed
an
ada
self-evaluation
and
they
also
implemented
an
a
city-wide
ada
transition
plan.
So
this
transition
plan
it
described
the
process
and
schedule
for
providing
curb
ramps
and
other
public
improvements
throughout
the
city.
B
At
the
end
of
2021,
we
had
about
10
700
that
were
compliant
and
about
19
000
that
still
need
to
be
built
or
to
be
upgraded
to
be
compliant.
So
that
was
the
end
of
2021,
and
here
on
this
graph
on
the
right.
We
have
the
total
number
of
ramps
built
per
year,
starting
in
2014
and
you'll
notice,
that
in
recent
years,
from
2019
to
2021,
we've
built
about
2
000
over
2000
ramps
per
year.
B
B
B
So
each
of
these
points
have
information
on
the
specific
curb
ramp
location,
the
slopes,
whether
they're,
compliant
or
not,
and
so
this
is
what
this
is.
The
snapshot
of
the
2018
inventory
that
we
have
in
this
image
here,
you'll
see
all
you'll,
see
the
entire
city
of
san
jose
and
you'll
also
notice
a
lot
of
colored
dots
here.
Each
of
these
dots
represent
a
curb
ramp
that
was
constructed
from
2018
to
present
so
internally.
We
can
see
this
as
part
of
our
dot
team.
B
B
In
addition
to
our
inventory,
we
also
categorized
different
ramp
conditions
in
this
amendment
to
the
transition
plan.
We
have
four
different
categories
of
ramps.
The
first
one
is
compliant
ramp,
so
this
is
what's
good.
We
have
all
the
right
slopes
on
the
ramp.
We
have
a
good
landing
area,
we
have
detectable
warning
surfaces
or
also
known
as
truncated,
domes
and
also
no
tripping
hazards.
B
We
also
have
the
category
called
high
barrier
ramp,
so
these
ramps
are
excessively
steep
in
their
slope,
as
you
can
see
here,
or
here
would
make
it
hard
for
wheelchair
users
to
use-
and
these
may
also
have
tripping
hazards
and
other
things
that
that
prevent
wheelchair
users
from
using
them.
Well,
we
also
have
substandard
ramps,
so
these
kinds
of
ramps
are
in
between
a
high
barrier
and
a
compliant
ramp.
B
B
B
So
we
are
here
in
2021
end
of
2021,
beginning
of
2022,
as
mentioned
before,
we
have
about
10
700
ramps
are
compliant,
so
the
total
of
these
three
three
other
lines
are
about
19
000,
more
ramps
to
either
build
or
to
upgrade,
and
so
with
an
average
of
2
000
ramps
built
per
year.
We're
going
to
see
that
we
finish
all
building
all
of
our
missing
and
high
barrier
rents
before
our
target
or
around
our
target
year.
B
B
B
So
let
me-
and
and
when
you
get
to
the
website
here,
you
can
click
on
this
button
request
a
curb
ramp
and
it
will
bring
you
to
an
application
form
where
you
fill
out
your
name,
your
contact
info,
the
curb
ramp
location
and
also
you
can
put
down
whether
you
or
someone
you
know,
has
a
disability,
because
I'll
show
you
in
the
next
slide.
We
have
a
priority
system
for
building
ramps
that
are
requested,
so
you
can
go
on
our
website
to
request
the
curb
ramp
be
built,
or
you
can
call
this
phone
number
408-794-6463.
B
This
is
our
priority
system
for
for
determining
how
we
address
curb
requests.
So
those
who
those
that
are
made
by
citizens
with
a
disability
have
the
highest
priority,
and
then
we
have
priority
one
through
priority.
Six,
so
party
one
are
locations
near
city,
government
offices
and
facilities,
priority
to
our
transportation
corridors
party,
three
hospitals,
medical
facilities
and
similar
party
for
our
places
of
public
accommodation
like
commercial
business
zones,
party
five
are
facilities
with
employers
and
party.
Six
are
residential
areas.
B
A
Thanks
irene,
this
is
colin
haney.
Again,
I'm
going
to
first
go
into
the
chat.
There
were
a
couple
comments
and
a
question
while
you
were
presenting
michelle
mashburn
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
having
our
full
our
full
build
out
of
all
the
curb
ramps
in
the
city
does
not
pardon
me,
does
not
necessarily
guarantee
sidewalks
are
accessible
to
everyone.
Michelle
do
you
want
to
let
that
comment
stand
or
did
you
want
to
unmute
and
explain
a
little
more.
C
C
I
think
it's
important
for
anybody
who's
working
in
d.o.t
to
understand
that
barriers
happen
in
many
many
places.
Colin
an
example,
I
think,
is
that
image
that
you
commented
on
of
mine.
That
was
on
mission
next
to
the
county,
building
where
I
can
get
on
the
curb
ramp.
However,
I
cannot
go
down
that
sidewalk
and
instead
I
get
halfway
down
the
sidewalk.
C
So
there's
all
of
these
variables
that
you
just
have
to
stay
mindful
of
and
as
soon
as
you
think,
you're
doing
the
best
work
possible.
I
know
the
law
shifts
and
you
have
to
shift
with
it.
So
if
you
stay
with
people
with
disabilities
you're
going
to
get
further
ahead
than
you
know,
immersing
yourself
totally
in
what
the
laws
say.
So
just
fyi.
A
A
A
C
This
is
michelle
a
quick
question
regarding,
while
this
is
like
a
beginning
of
a
very
focused
ada
transition
plan,
is
there
still
other
elements
that
are
in
the
works
towards
addressing
the
various
other
barriers
that
disabled
people
encounter
in
the
city
of
san
jose
and
then
also
have
you
guys
reached
out
to
like
the
vista
center
and
organizations
like
that,
so
that
you
can
also
get
the
people
to
contribute
on?
You
know
the
blind
experience
of
curb
cuts
and
what
they
need,
because
the
other
variable
in
this
is
making
sure
the
stupid
push.
C
A
A
D
A
I
also
I
just
remembered
I
wanted
to
relay
comments.
I
got
from
another
member
of
the
community
who
called
me
she
couldn't
make
it
to
the
meeting
and
I
promised
her.
I
would
share
her
comments
at
the
meeting.
Her
name
is
jean
gillespie.
She
has
arthrogryposis
good
luck
with
that
sharon.
I
can
spell
it
it's
a-r-t-h-r-o-g-r-y-p-o-s-I-s.
A
A
She
does
not
feel
safe,
walking
over
them
and
trips,
so
she
needs
to
use
her
scooter
when
she's
out
traveling
around
and
she's
gonna,
obviously
cross
over.
Those
detectable
warning
strips
and
her
comment
was
that
not
that
she
has
any
shame
about
it,
but
that
making
it
but
being
forced
to
use
her
scooter
makes
her
appear
more
disabled
than
she
actually
feels.
But
she
does
it
for
confidence
when
she
encounters
those
truncated
nerves
and
she
wishes
that
perhaps
the
bumps
were
indented
or
there
was
some
other
some
other
technology
for
detectable
warning
surface.
E
D
B
A
Okay,
any
other
comments
or
questions.
Before
I
adjourn
us,
I'm
going
to

my
email
address
in
