November 9, 2009 Section 7: Implementation ^ More aggressively distribute information on existing energy efficiency and renewable energy programs. Transportation and Land Use It is also recommended that the City continue to aggressively implement the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Strategy to support a vibrant downtown area with diverse transit options and attractive features for pedestrian access and enjoyment. Other recommended actions include coordinate establishment of voluntary transportation management associations in partnership with local businesses, prioritizing the implementation of the City's Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and associated improvements, as well as promoting car share in the community, especially in the downtown and BART station areas. Summary of near-term priority actions related to transportation and land use: ^ Continue to implement Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Strategy ^ Establish a Transportation Management Association ^ Create a larger network of safe bike routes • Locate car sharing sites in San Leandro, starting at the San Leandro BART station ^ Make existing traffic flow more efficiently to reduce the amount of time people spend idling in city traffic by improving the traffic signal system Waste Reduction and Recycling The City is recommended to continue to partner with StopWaste.Org to promote waste reduction and recycling in the community. StopWaste.Org currently offers discount compost bins as well as programs to support proper recycling and disposal practices for electronic waste (E-waste). Other programs are available in the community, including the Salvation Army for redistribution of large furniture and other objects. Additional education to community members is recommended on different ways of reusing materials in their homes, as well as in business operations. Simple tasks could include the use of the blank side of a paper to reprint or use for other tasks. Summary of near-term priority actions related to waste reduction and recycling: ^ Compile a list of relevant recycling and composting programs available to the community and distribute widely. ^ Continue to partner with StopWaste.Org to promote home composting programs and consider offering an additional subsidy. ~5~1F~~ Page 59 .~ ~~,.
