Does the project achieve multiple benefits across sectors (e.g., public health and safety is enhanced while also improving environmental conditions)? The plan will address impacts related to flooding damage to facilities and amenities essential for maintaining public health. The City’s Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) is located along the Shoreline and may experience flooding to overflow storage ponds and impacts to equipment and/or infrastructure caused by subsidence or uplift as the water table rises, which could result in public health impacts. Can the project leverage other sources of private, local, state or federal funding? City of San Leandro will provide a total of 201 in-kind staff hours to assist the consultant hired for the development of the San Leandro Shoreline Master Plan. The City is also actively working with San Leandro 2050 and Common Vision on other grant-supported projects around community outreach and will leverage the relationships built from that work. Can the project be scaled to provide increased resilience in the future? Completing the San Leandro Shoreline Master Plan will enable the City of San Leandro to be better positioned for future regional and state funding opportunities for engineered designs and project implementation. Can the project be replicated in other geographies? Once the San Leandro Shoreline Master Plan is completed, the plan can be shared with other cities in the Alameda Estuary Adaptation Working Group and BayAdapt as examples of shoreline resilience initiatives. Many of the Bay Area cities share the shoreline and understanding the vulnerabilities, costs and benefits, and feasibilities of green/nature-based infrastructure planning will be helpful to other jurisdictions. Does the project involve collaboration with neighboring jurisdictions? The City will work with regional agencies such as BCDC and BayAdapt to meet regional guidelines and best practices. The San Leandro Bay-Oakland-Alameda Estuary Adaptation Working Group is supportive of the project and is actively pursuing funds to create a subregional organizational structure and action plan to accelerate sea level rise action in the San Leandro operational landscape unit. This project aligns strongly with their goal to enable member organizations to collaborate on planning efforts and share resources to accelerate project funding, design, permitting and implementation. City of San Leandro commits to coordinating through this Working Group around this project and other sea level rise initiatives and will benefit from the Working Group’s increased engagement to Sogorea Te’ Land Trust, West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, East Oakland Collective, and Community Action for a Sustainable Alameda. Does the project involve collaboration with the private sector? The development of the Shoreline Master Plan will involve significant collaboration with community groups such as Collective Resilience, San Leandro 2050, Common Vision, and Unity in the Community for public engagement. This will involve leveraging their existing meetings and focus groups, as well as connections to youth ambassadors at San Leandro High School. Does the project incorporate greenhouse gas emission reduction measures? The plan will prioritize adaptation measures that reduce GHG emissions, such as nature-based green infrastructure. Does the project use the best available science and locally specific data and/or tribal ecological knowledge?
