Community Encouraged to Attend City Workshop on Walkability and Energy

The City of South San Francisco will hold the first of several community workshops on Saturday, March 10, 2012 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for the public to learn more and provide input on the City’s Climate Action Plan and Pedestrian Master Plan. The community is encouraged to attend the workshop, which will be held in The Meeting Room at the Municipal Services Building located at 33 Arroyo Drive in South San Francisco.

The public will have an opportunity to provide input on how to improve pedestrian access and safety and ways to conserve energy resources. There will also be a survey to determine when and where people walk in South San Francisco.

About the Climate Action Plan

The Climate Action Plan (CAP) will identify ways the City can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and implement energy saving measures with the goal of a thriving, well‐balanced and sustainable community. The CAP is being prepared to assist the City with reaching its overall target reduction goal by 2020 consistent with State Assembly Bill (AB) 32.

About the Pedestrian Master Plan

The Pedestrian Master Plan (PMP) will promote a pedestrian‐friendly environment; where public spaces, including streets and off‐street paths, will offer a level of convenience, safety and attractiveness to pedestrians that will encourage and reward the choice to walk.
