City staff outlines Daxbot outreach and FAQs for ADA transition plan
Summary
Staff briefed the Infrastructure Committee on planned outreach for a sidewalk‑survey robot program tied to the ADA transition plan: social‑media FAQs, a library 'meet the robots' event, and a website with QR codes that will accompany the robots in the field.
A staff member gave a brief update on the city's planned Daxbot program for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) transition plan, saying staff will publish an FAQ and social‑media posts, host a library "meet the robots" event and operate a website with QR codes so residents can scan robots in the field and read detailed information.
"They're gonna do a in informational social media post, including a frequently asked question sheet," the staff member said, adding the city will coordinate a public demonstration at the library where residents can "see what they do and ask all the questions they want." Staff also said the vendor would host a website with QR codes to provide information while robots operate on sidewalks.
The presentation framed the outreach as pre‑deployment public engagement intended to address common concerns—ownership, recording/privacy and purpose—before robots operate on sidewalks. Staff said they would announce the date of the informational event once it's set and would push details via the city's social channels.
No formal council action or vote on the Daxbot rollout was recorded in the transcript; the update lasted under a minute and was described by staff as informational.
