Planning Climate Action in B'game

The climate action planning continues in B'game.  Here are some of the tangible activities courtesy of the Daily Journal reporting on the Joint Council-Planning Commission meeting last month:

Officials are crafting the proposal in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the coming two decades through improved mobility routes, more efficient development practices, natural resource conservation and more.  Among the most notable programs and practices identified to cut greenhouse gas emissions are:

• implementing a transportation demand management plan
• establishing a complete streets network
• adopting more efficient construction management
• becoming more energy efficient and
• supporting Peninsula Clean Energy

We will have to see just how tangible these become in the face of potential mass over-development driven by Senate Bill 50 (if it becomes law).

Another example of the Libs riding the Gravy Train and making money on the backs hard working Americans.

This plan is 100% BS red tape and is another reason for businesses to relocate to more friendly States.

The Climate Action Plan has been approved by Council. The DJ is reporting:

Among the most notable programs and practices identified in Burlingame’s plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions are implementing a transportation demand management plan for the city, establishing a complete streets network, adopting more efficient construction management policies, becoming more energy efficient and supporting Peninsula Clean Energy.

Adoption of Peninsula Clean Energy, the county’s provider of electricity drawn from renewable sources which does not generate greenhouse gases, will be the most impactful initiative, according to the plan. And by encouraging carpooling, dedicating prime parking spots for electric vehicles, promoting bicycling and other alternative modes of transportation and similar initiatives, officials can help facilitate significant greenhouse gas emission reductions through transportation management programs, according to the plan.
