Focus public investmentswith a Smart Growth “Development Plan”……get the land use zoning (RD-60 & MU) …then build it !!
1. Identify “opportunity” sites
2. Identify the barriers and constraints
3. Develop sustainable solutions and infrastructure

Folsom Blvd - Prior industrial and RR uses
Identify Gaps
1. Identify needed infrastructure and costs for development of 5 TODs, and
2. Connect and access our communities thru safe and improved bike/ped facilities and access to transit.

Public-Private Partnerships
We’re in this together…..1. Funding for local governments for infill infrastructure
projects in transit priority areas- especially TODs. (Direct more state and federal $ to smart growth, walkable, sustainable projects.)
2. CEQA relief for Infill projects in Transit Priority Areas – SACOG SCS/SB375 other incentives needed.
3. Capitalize on existing infrastructure & location efficiencies.
4. Maximize and build on our existing communities.
5. Small & incremental quality, sustainable development.
6. Stay the course.
