19 City of San Leandro | Economic Development Initiatives and Work Plan | May 2013 <br /> <br />actively engaged with developers and property owners to continually assess the availability of <br />opportunity sites and the economic viability of the TOD zoning. <br />Accomplishments To-Date: Business Development staff frequently meets with interested <br />parties who are considering building TOD projects in Downtown San Leandro. <br /> <br />Public Art – Whenever possible, the City seeks to support the creation of public arts projects <br />that can bring a sense of identity and place to public spaces. In the past, Business Development <br />staff has worked to incorporate public art into Commercial Facade Improvement Program <br />projects. A recent example is the tile mosaic constructed in 2011 at the Stepping Stones facility <br />on MacArthur Boulevard. <br />Accomplishments To-Date: Staff has been working in early 2013 to identify locations for public <br />art in the heart of Downtown San Leandro. Target projects will be defined later this year and <br />staff will work with property owners and the local arts community to bring them to fruition. <br /> <br />Holiday Lighting – For many years, the City <br />and Redevelopment Agency provided holiday <br />lighting at City Hall, along East 14th Street, and <br />throughout much of the downtown area. <br />Although funding restrictions have forced a <br />reduction in the scope of the lighting projects, <br />Business Development continues to budget <br />and support lighting efforts each year. <br />Accomplishments To-Date: Holiday lighting for the 2012 season included decorative lighting in <br />and around Joaquin Plaza in Downtown San Leandro. <br />
