[0:08] Sorry, we have a quorum and it is 05:45, so I'm gonna call our city council listening session to order. It's Monday 5 May 05:45. Thanks very much for everybody who's here. [0:27] So here are the folks that I have pre scheduled and raise your hand. Linda Lang, there's Linda. Elizabeth Carbonie, there she is Yep. Pam, and then Parker, I don't see her yet tonight. So, why don't we get started? Linda, you're up 1st and what I'm gonna ask you. [0:47] So as you come up, you can sign in after you finish up just so we make this move along, 5 min and we'll maybe ask some questions, we'll try and engage a little bit and. [0:58] What else was I gonna say? Oh, and just make sure you state your name as you start to state channing for the record so we have that as well. So, ok? Hello, my name is Linda. 9125 shell in Bloomington, and I grew up in Bloomington. I think Bloomington is great and it's wonderful to see the city council. [1:18] People in the staff here. I did mail in my comments. We don't want to read them too. I'll go over the highlights briefly and I have a couple other points and I don't think I'll take the entire 5 min. [1:30] I did attend activities with my mother and my parents bought bought their house in 1963 that I'm now only and before that we lived in East Bloomington and they bought that in 19 built that also in 1955, and I was born in. [1:50] 1956 so you can see where that's all going. I did go to the creek side activities with my mother and intend to go more now than I myself older. I did work as an orthopedic nurse. I have a registered nurse license. [2:07] I volunteered at local nursing homes for years and pushed a lot of wheelchairs, helped a lot of disabled people both as a nurse and a volunteer, and I've recently had both my hims replaced, so I'm now bionic parking at the main entrance just to make. [2:25] My ideas, if the world was perfect you would do all of these things. So parking at the main entrance, I would request that the handicapped parking be across the front of the long, longest entryway. [2:41] That, so if this is the door and this is curved in the sidewalk that all of the parking starts there, ok? So that you get out of your car, you get into the sidewalk in the winter with the snow of the sleep eyes, you can make your weight door. [2:58] And then in my perfect world, we'd replicate that backwards for handicapped people and we'd have a lot of them because people body people in America need to walk, but it's harder for handicapped people with. [3:13] Wheelchairs and walkers, I I think you can't have enough handicaps. Entrance doors, it's hard to always find where the little button is push the door. [3:29] Pushing the wheelchairs to stop, park the wheelchair, walk over. If you're in the wheelchair, the walker, you make your way over. The doors are heavy. If we have auto, auto open motion detectors, at least for the main entrance where all of the parking is, you just walk up. [3:49] With whatever disabled body peop…
