Comments on the Draft CAP 2.0 2021.12.22 Page Comment Comment From Consider allowing an option for electrical storage for new construction: EITHER the new construction include adequate local energy storage (batteries) OR they participate in a community based shared electrical storage system. The Phil Bowman community based system may be more affordable and optimizes the number of batteries required when pooled over a 38 larger number of buildings. Tesla is currently piloting a community power -wall storage system in Australia. One important indicator of improved sustainability would be a significant increase in the percentage of Pleasanton residents who work in Pleasanton. Providing housing opportunities for the employees of businesses located, in Becky Dennis 39 Pleasanton, most of whom earn 60%AMI or less, will do the most to reduce emissions and VMT. Those earning above 80% AMI commute to locations outside the Tri -Valley. Was there any discussion of urban heat islands? This would be in support of "adaptation" rather than reducing GHG 39 emissions. The City is currently making our existing streets blacker by resurfacing, thereby making our ambient Todd Nelson temperature hotter which worsens the effects mentioned earlier. Other technologies are available for road surfaces but there are trade-offs. 40 Does this include the Alameda County Safe Routes to School (SR2S) program? Todd Nelson remove "those without personal vehicles have" — we should encourage reliable access to alternative transportation for Anonymous 40 those with and without personal vehicles. Great to see the City working to phase out pollution (air and noise) from gas powered small engines. With the State of California prohibiting sales of small gas -powered engines in 2024, seems like a great opportunity to educate residents on the 'why' and 'how' of phasing out their own use of lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and more. This should include Jim van Dyke encouraging residents to ask their lawn maintenance service providers to only use electric or manual alternatives, in 40 place of high -polluting gas powered devices. Suggest including an education and promotion campaign to encourage use of bicycles over cars. Perhaps sponsor Phil Bowman 42 monthly "bike -to -work" days with incentives. Even with Valley Link and BART at capacity, they will only be able to carry a limited percentage of the people who 43 currently commute. Encouraging people to telecommute or, if not feasible, live close to their jobs and commute by EV, Jocelyn Combs foot, or bike, will be necessary to achieve our climate goals. 44 Can we measure and report numbers for Pleasanton residents who work within Pleasanton? I suspect the balance is Todd Nelson quite bad for those commuting in/out vs those who work locally. A baseline metric would be useful.
