Speaker Ruth Abbey with Community Action for a Sustainable Alameda: Excited to collaborate with the Commission and Parks on issues of climate action and greenhouse gas reduction including carbon sequestration through urban forest and compost application. The idea of using this land that's not ready to develop for renewable power is very important with an added benefit of improving the area around the landfill for recreation and education. Support this project. Speaker Irene Dieter: Asking Commission to make a recommendation to Planning Board and City Council. This is a fantastic use for the land and benefits us and the environment right now. Add more park benches and trees to attract more pedestrians on the path. Add native grasses and shrubs to attract bees and butterflies along the path. Opportunity to add pollinator friendly plants under solar panels or along path. 2 | RecreationandParkCommission/2019-11-14.pdf |
