i think it's good with the bart going on. it's good. bart is good. i think one thing about people with low income in san francisco with sro's a lot of people don't get to ride bart. a lot of people cannot even afford muni. i hope this can come to pass. we used to ride bart from balboa to the inner city. we need to bring that back because bart comes to our city. once the bart there it's a sign of relief in san francisco. a lot of people don't know that. i know a lot of people in wheelchairs and sro of market they would love to ride bart to loektsz. -- locations. we have to depend on the soul train and t train. it's a heavy train that goes out to third street. i think this is good that they are redesigning the bart trains and a different color would make people realize that they need to honor those. people don't think that i have disabilities. they don't recognize that. the bart will be a good service. also, we never get to use the restrooms in san francisco. all other bart station, because the restrooms are underground and people have the restrooms to

she was going to leave bart. amid rumors bash corbin was also having an affair with one of his dental assistants, the corbins separated and filed for divorce. on december 4, 2004, the corbin's seven-year-old son found his mother dead of apparent suicide. a .38 caliber miss stall was at her side. >> when i woke up this morning i went to go see my mom and there was a gun right by her. >> there was no suicide note but the divorce papers were underneath her body. >> she was served or found out about the divorce filing she had shot herself. it looked like a lot of indicators that were consistent with suicide. >> it wasn't completely outside the realm of possibility that a woman who was facing the loss of her children because of an online affair could have been afraid that she was going to lose custody of her sons, lose her home, lose everything. >> bart corbin had an alibi for the night of jennifer's death. he was out at friends at a bar a half hour's drive away. >> credit card statements showed about 14 beers had bee

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 that there are quite a few features that have been added to the new train cars that are testament to their hard work and good advice in helping us better meet the needs of people with disabilities. in 2013, we had a variety of preliminary mock ups and prototypes. in july of 2013, we had what is called a soft mock up, a first level mock up of the new train car at the mcarthur station and we had 25,000 people come through and participate and walk through including a special session we did at that time with the bart accessibility task force. subsequent to that, we did 9 events around the bay area testing out prototype seats and getting feedback from the public about different levels of cushioning and different densities of foam and that helped us select the seats for the new train cars. finally just over the last 6 weeks, we've had the final train car

they are great bart cars. one of the questions i had was, could you give me your impression or your opinion on how, on the process for how the bart accessible task force has been working with bart representative and if you can shed some light for how that process works. >> sure, we also have in the audience the chair and vice-chair of the atf. they may also in the public session be able to describe more fully how that works. but they produce agendas based on their assessment of what kinds of issues in the bart system need attention that could be in the stations in the parking lots, a lot of accessible path issues, it could be new stations that we are building. i know they are working hard on that. because that's a real chance to come up to code with upgrades. there is also a lot of reinvestment in bart stations and that is something they weigh in on. and then also there is, you know, a project managers that partly for compliance reasons they approach the bart accessibility task force to agenda ized and item to

bart -- bart seems to think that our needs need to be weighed against the needs of everyone and, you know, we're sort of in the middle of this wonderful process. if you agree that bart should eliminate the pole in the boarding doors, one way that you could help us out is by coming out to the protest today at 4:00 in west oakland. another way is to let the board of directors know by e-mailing board of directors at bart.gov, and remind them that disability rights isn't an interest group. this is about civil rights. for my people, civil rights is being able to move freely in the environment. again, okay, i think this is number 3. again, if you want to help us in our efforts, one way that you can help is by making a $10 donation by texting the word "access" to 2022 2, that will make a $10 donation toward the center and the work we are trying to do. i'm excited because joanne asked me to speak about our upcoming move, and we are slated to move on july 11th. we will be having a grand opening celebration on july 26th to coincide with the 24th anniversary of the ada. mark your calendar. any

we have to reduce the crowding level on bart. so finally the last slide is called tripod pole options. what i have been doing the last week and will be continuing for the next week is to engage disability organizations and individuals in a discussion of options to the tripod pole. the current design or at least the schematic of the design is shown on page 10. you can see many of the things that i described in the design. the green seats are the priority seats for people with disabilities and again, there is 50 percent more than we had on the old cars. you can see in the design the three doors, the two wheelchair zones, the designated area for bikes at the middle door to make it separate from the wheelchair areas and other features including the proposed pole locations and i'm sure it's too hard to see from a distance, but it does show the dimensions of the accessible path and i even need to hold it close to my eyes to read them to you, but the engineering measurement for the path from the doorway to the wheelchair zone is 48.83 i

i would also like to comment on the new bart trains. i think there should be also some kind of barrier in between the seats. there should be a barrier in between the different seats for people that are hyper sensitive and psychic. there should be in each car a monitor of what's going on because people i have seen on a documentary they can hypnotize an entire train. i think this is up and coming in the future and you should beware of these things. >> thank you. is anybody available on the bridge line who would like to give public comment at this time? >> yes, thank you. my name is bruce wolf. i apologize for not being able to attend in person today. as i'm recovering from surgery last week. that said i'm still pretty sore. i attended and testified in public comment to you all at your last meeting regarding upcoming appointments to the sunshine ordinance task force. this appointments were being considered yesterday. the topic for you that i testified at was regarding the requirement of a person with a disability to be appointed in order f
