Trees are infrastructure and the City should take the lead to plant more instead of relying on private citizens to assume the cost/logistical burden. My question is: how will you accomplish these sophisticated and necessary goals? How can the local community support these goals? How can you use the communities around the Bay Area to support our goals? • Some of this stuff is quite creative! o I find myself questioning how City personnel are going to accomplish even half of it. o One item I like is "Improve bicycle safety by incorporating bicycle detection at signalized intersections." This would greatly improve my standard of living. o Is TE-5 EV Financing really only a supportive policy? I would think it could significantly reduce GHG emissions. o Is TE-6 feasible? How can one city force a TNC to pay for EV's? • This is all great! • We need to have a better idea of what is generating GHG emissions in the transportation sector. I understand that existing data does not allow separating GHG in the transportation sector into resident produced and that produced by non-resident activities (freeway and commercial). Maybe an approximation could be derived at if data was collected / parsed by neighborhood. Doing that would certainly give a richer, more nuanced image of San Leandro's transporation emissions. Of course, that would require more data reading stations than currently exist in San Leandro. o Another smoke -filled year like last could actually enhance a community outreach campaign and stimulate more air quality assessment stations in backyards. I know many old timers who insist that particulate matter is now higher than they ever saw in the past because of what collects on their window sills and cars; there is grassroots interest in measuring particulate matter from previously unexpected constituencies. There are more PurpleAir sensors in San Leandro now than there were in 2020 but for only $179
