HomeMy Public PortalAboutPublic Comment - Anna Klovstad (3)1.I would like to see a separated bikeway (class IV) along DPR near
the schools as a test area.
2.How are we going to mitigate a 266% increase in freight rail? 18
times per day is already highly impactful. 66 equals almost 3
freight trains per hour. Additionally, if we want the rail to be used
for tourism transportation, but freight has priority, I wonder how
realistic it is to share the tracks.
3.M1.A: Do you expect this to be a special stakeholder committee?
Once developed, this should be shared regionally through CTA.
4.M1.B: add an action to support local business and agencies to
adopt a work from home program for appropriate employees. The
Town’s Friday program is a good example of VMT reduction. CTA
Could help distribute this program/policy.
5.M1.F: Add ‘collaborate with utility providers to provide
incentive/rebate for this purpose.’ This is really key to reducing
energy usage in the evenings and at night when the energy
production is dirty.
6.M2.H: Are these not part of the green business certification
program? Perhaps a general goal should be added to update the
green business program to align with the Town’s Climate Action
Plan. Also, this needs an incentive (grants, loans, advertising,
etc.).
7.M2.K - add VTT to the partner list.
8.M2M - add ‘work with Chamber of Commerce and Downtown
Merchants Association.’
9.M2.M and M2.N: Change the timeline to short term - we need the
infrastructure before we get too many bikes. There are a lot of
bikes already.
10.M3.3: work with Sierra Pacific Railroad to allow bikes on their
trains and buses. Short term.
11.M3.J: change to short term - especially the NextBus technology.
12.M3.K: I thought this was already happening. Why is this time
frame midterm?
13.M3.9 Low/No-Emissions Transit Fleets: Where is the action for
this policy? It also needs a timeline.
14.On that note, add a policy and action to support other local
agencies' conversion to renewable diesel for their fleets. We can
provide free test tanks, supplier and agreement recommendations,
and share our experiences. This can be shared via CTA.
15.M5.B: Add development of parking maximum standards instead
of parking minimums.
16.M7.3: Why would we state that we need to support continued
freight service? We have no authority over this anyway. Change
‘work with Amtrack and Caltrans,.....’ to “Develop plans with
Amtrack to expand passenger service to Truckee to minimize
vehicular traffic coming to and through Truckee via I80.
