Chair Cihacek asked individual PWETC members to think about the information they wanted Metro Transit to provide to staff for dissemination to the PWETC as part of their future work on the comprehensive plan transportation aspects. From Metro Transit's perspective, Mr. Lamb advised he would do the same on their end with their staff to make sure the appropriate and most helpful level of data and input is provided to Roseville staff and the PWETC. At the request of Member Seigler, it was determined that the presentation data shared on Roseville boardings per location was available for the public and PWETC, but was in GIS format. Mr. Lamb advised he would get Roseville staff additional information on how to make access of that data easier. For the viewing public, Member Heimerl asked for contact information for those having any transit issues or concerns, with Mr. Lamb referring the public to the Metro Transit website or customer information phone number, as well as it being posted in shelters. During his short six months at Metro Transit, Mr. Williams noted their customer- focused interests and his favorable impression with treatment of riders equitably. Recognizing that future transit isn't sustainable under current models, Mr. Williams noted the interest in providing a mass transit product to Roseville, as well as the bigger picture to assist with continued growth. Mr. Williams thanked the PWETC and Roseville staff for their support, and asked that they feel free to contact him personally at Metro Transit with ideas or if there was any way he could help. On behalf of the PWETC, Chair Cihacek thanked Mr. Williams and Mr. Lamb for their attendance, presentation, and valuable information. 7. ADA Transition Presentation Mr. Freihammer introduced in-house staff work to-date for creation and adoption of a citywide transition plan, as required by law, for Americans with disabilities Act (ADA) for the City of Roseville. City Engineer Luke Sandstrom provided a presentation on the draft plan (Attachment A) and how the city transitions into citywide ADA compliance. At the request of Chair Cihacek, Mr. Sandstrom advised that anything not currently at a proper grade or based on the now dated 1990 ADA requirements, would need replaced or revised. Mr. Sandstrom noted that this typically focused on public rights-of-way and areas not at today's proper grades for curb ramps. While required by law now, Mr. Sandstrom noted that the city had been proactively updating them when doing a project within the area, in order to facilitate Roseville residents and visitors to the area having physical and/or visual issues.
