Valley Metro I 101 N. 1st Ave. Phoenix, AZ 85003 602.262.7433 1. Public Comment on non-agenda action items Chair Glover said thank you. The first item on the agenda is to take Public Comment. There are three cards. Each speaker will be allowed up to three minutes to speak. I apologize. I'll try to speak better into the microphone. Our first speaker is Susan Fields. Ms. Fields, you'll have three minutes. Ms. Fields said ladies and gentlemen, I appreciate your attention. We have some items that we need to talk about. One is the buses that you just bought. You only have half of a seat belt for those who are in wheelchairs. And, believe me, when you asked to be hooked up with a seat belt, they cannot do it. All of your new buses that's the way they work. I'm very appalled at that. I know you spent a lot of money. The other thing on those new buses you only have one four-seater that goes up. I'm a medium-size scooter. You got bigger ones. You can't squeeze them into the threes. You got to put them in the fours. I would hope that you would go and correct this. Number two, we have a -- City of Mesa, please listen. We have a situation over on Power and Main over by the JB's there is no -- and I mean no bus shade. I carry my umbrella with me. But we had a lady that was going down in the morning because it was so hot. There was no seat. She had to sit on the macadam, and she was really sick. Now, you don't need that. Neither do I. We've been asking for that bus shade for quite some time, even a bench would help. But it's very hot and that is a very hot place. The third one -- I can't remember the third one. But those are two very important things that you need to do. I know your drivers need breaks. For God's sake, let them have breaks. Oh, I remember the other one. The back end of my scooter has been pulled off twice. And I have called into your people, and they act like it never happened. I've called into your -- when it happened this last time, I called immediately into customer relations. I got a number. I've called the number. No one has called me back. I would appreciate you, please, do your ADA. Please instruct these drivers that they're not Mario Andretti. Chair Glover said thank you, Ms. Fields. The next speaker is Howard May. 2 Mr. May said good afternoon. I currently have a comment card somewhere in this building, and I've mentioned it to Ron Brooks and a few other people. Carol Ketcherside knows about this. You guys redid your Website. When you redid the Website, you took away a few things I used. For example, the mobile version, the old one, was more accessible to me than the current Website is because the mobile Website, separate than the Website, was already a nice font and it was text only. On the current new Website there is no spot for text only. Most of it is squares and pictures. And the font you're using on the new Website I think a lot of people are going to have trouble with. And I would appreciate if staff or IT would get back to me about this sometime today or in a couple weeks. And I can go over everything with them. I brought it up. I've called it in. I've let a few other people know. The other thing is currently we have a problem -- and City of Phoenix knows about this. I've told them about it forever. You have bus stops in Glendale and Phoenix, which is where I'm at, that do not have light. You have shelters. You have everything else, but no lights. Fortunately a few bus stops have an actual street light and that concerns me with safety. So those are the two things. And that's all for now.
