Hi. I'm not sure if this issue is on the agenda or not. I wasn't able to tell from the agenda text so apologies if this is out of order. First, I (still) miss you all and hope everyone is well. It's very nice to see both experienced and new members of this commission. I thank all of you for your excellent and important service. It is much appreciated! I am commenting on the issue of developing a Climate Change Action Plan for the city. I was disappointed to hear that another drive thru was approved but, at the same time, heartened that the Planning Commission and Council are considering a ban on future drive-ins. As we all know by now, climate change is here and is making a grave impact. This is a small city with disproportionate traffic that is harmful both to the environment and to our individual and collective health. We MUST address this as a city in whatever ways we can--particularly the climate impact of all of these gas powered cars driving through our city. I'm hoping this commission in particular will be attentive to and pro-active on this and other issues that negatively impact our climate--in addition to the business of preserving and maintaining our open space which we all cherish.
As a resident of American Canyon since 2004, I am writing to ask you to be the leaders we need right now by recommending that our city maintain a strong commitment to a 2030 net zero climate pollution goal, and to doing everything in your power to help the city meet this goal.
I love this city and I want to see it remain safe, healthy, and livable far into the future and especially for future generations. Let us please work together on a plan to keep our community safe and livable. I have confidence that this commission can take the lead in helping all of us to be courageous and commit to reaching net zero climate pollution by 2030. Thank you so much for your time and attention.
