They care about theirs. Io made his mark by bringing the debate back to the middle class. Folks understand they want somebody in the oval office whos going to really understand their problems, whos going to ar them. Trump lacked specifics on policy but still had some moments, especially with jeb bush. He supports clinton. When he asked florida to have casiur gambling, we said no. Wrong. We said no. Thats the simple fact. Dont make things up. Theres a long haul in this and im confident i will pic...

Ginsburg, why would we bother to go there . I think that the. If we are not going to do anything to him and not having any finding of willfulness, why would we need to get into a big discussion about that . Well, i mean, i think that the preliminary question before the commission is whether he personally engaged in a violation of the ordinance, willful or nonwillful and so i think that that is something, that is a question that is squarely before the commission. Do we have to answer that . I mea...

Other than general manager ginsburg that is beyond the scope of what tonight is for. I have a question for mr. Pilpal. And i agree with mr. White on that last point. You said that it was your view of the task force that there was a problem with naming mr. Ginsbuger and could you elaborate on your rationale for that . First the initial underlying complaint was against miss gong and she is the person that appeared at the various hearings and after the order was made and came back to the full task ...

Seats will be a different color. One of the things that we heard early in the project when we put out that solicitation, i referenced earlier what you like or dislike about the old train cars . We often heard people say that can ustomers dont frequently enough yield to senior and disabled seats to those who need them the most. One of the improvements we are making is to make those seats a different color and to improve the signage of those seats to help encourage people to stand up and yield tho...

To another. Slide 7 talks about features for individuals who are blind or have a vision impairment. One feature that will continue from the old cars are the external inter car barriers that are meant to help protect people with vision impairments from inadvertently stepping off the flat form and being in danger. Those were retro fitted into old bart cars after ada was passed. But these will be built in from the ground floor to the new cars. I mentioned earlier that we often have people on bart t...

Back in 2012, we began the process by asking can an can you customers about what they liked and didnt like about the cars and asked them to include what they have seen in their travels elsewhere that we can consider emulating. We used that information in our process in 2012. We began working with the bart advisory committee. The bart Accessibility Task force. We worked with them to think in particular about the accessible features of the new train cars and you will see in the slides that follow ...

Find a nonwillful violation or a willful violation but i dont think that tonight, you can find a nonwillful violation by someone else in the rec and Park Department. Base ed on the chapter three, we could find the nonwillful violation of mr. Ginsburg. Right. Under three, the votes of at least three commissioners are required to make a finding that they have created a willful violation or a nonwillful violation. But i think that if you are going to talk about someone other than general manager gi...

Contrast the color strip to the pole to provide greater visibility for lower vision individuals. Slide 8 talks about a few other major improvements on the new train cars. First of all, i talked already about having more doors. Thats going to make getting on and off the train faster and easier and take away for some people that feeling of panic that the doors may close before you have an opportunity to exit. Its going to have a secondary effect of reducing the volume of people going through each ...

Department head is under different rules and regulations that is where we need to, that is why we are under Chapter Three and the burden is on the complainant, and so on and so forth. If this is a nonwillful violation by someone, who is not a Department Head, and then the sunshine ordinance the task force, will make their decision, and refer the matter and it is going to be presumed that it is a violation, unless the respondent carries the burden that it is not. And so i think that the upshot of...
