The field researchers Aleksandra Marta Duda, Alina Brasoveanu, Dalia Campoccia, Etrit Shkreli, Hana Belohoubkova, Isabel Fernández de la Fuente, Joakim Toll, Judith Schicklinski, Júlia Colomer Matutano, Juliette Muguet-Guenot, Lea K. Baumbach, Michael Bockhorni, Mikaela Lise Vasström, Renaud Hourcade, Vasileios Latinos, and Vildan Aydin did a great job collecting and delivering the data for these case studies. We want to acknowledge the efforts of former members of the project team, Enkeleda Kadriu, Adrien Labaeye, Nadine Marmai and Kira Reich in managing the operations of the field researchers. I Case study reports The reports were written by 16 field researchers as the result of the field research conducted in the second half of 2013 in 40 cities in 14 countries across Europe. They explore what institutions are required to ensure a local transition towards sustainability. They synthesise all relevant information for each city, collected by the field researchers throughout their field and the preparatory research, enriching and contextualizing the data collected via questionnaires and face-to-face semi-directed interviews as well as additional desktop research. Thus, they constitute a relevant component for data analysis and interpretation and for answering the research questions of the research project “The Role of Cities in the European Socio-Ecological Transition (ROCSET)”, which is part of the larger WWWforEurope project. The reports are structured into seven sections. In the first part, a general city profile first provides background information, giving factual data on size, population, climate, special characteristics, etc. and providing information on basic government/administrative structure as well as on economic conditions (growth trend, key business and industries, employment, etc.). Then local lifestyle and key challenges and trends (economic, social and environmental ones) are addressed. The second part comprises a sector specific synthesis for water, energy and green spaces, each referring to availability, affordability and consumption levels, key issues, key actors/partnerships and key actions/measures/initiatives. The third part looks into governance and citizens´ participation, specifically into multilevel governance (province, national, EU) and participation and bottom-up action. In the conclusion, a short summary is provided, and finally trends and challenges for the future are outlined. All reports contain a references section at the end of the document. The compendium covers all selected countries and cities and provides an important insight into each case through the eye of the respective field researcher processing all his/her collected relevant information in it.

Denmark – Aalborg 1.1 City profile Background information Factual data The population of Aalborg’s municipal area is approximately 203,400 inhabitants (2013). 120,000 of these live in the city of Aalborg. The municipal area is 1,373 km2 (2013). Aalborg is located in the Northern part of Denmark on the peninsula of Jutland and has a temperate climate. The Limfjord cuts through the peninsula of Jutland and the city of Aalborg and thereby connects the Western sea (Atlantic Ocean) with Kattegat (and the Baltic Sea). The city is located on both banks of the fjord. Historically, this was a very important transport route to Scandinavia, and the port of Aalborg one of the greatest in Denmark. The surrounding land is mainly agricultural and industrial farmland, there are few natural forests. The Municipality of Aalborg was merged with five smaller (and rural) municipalities in 2008 after a major national public steering reform. The municipality has also become responsible for rural development politics and nature management in these areas. The municipality is divided into eight main land areas. Aalborg is an old industrial city with the largest industrial harbour in Denmark. The harbour has now moved out of the inner city to a new industrial area east of the city. The old harbour area has been renewed during the last decade with green spaces, open-air swimming facilities, and development of youth housing, housing, university facilities, and a cultural centre. Through the last two decades, a conscious strategy has been in place to renew old industrial sites to new (sustainable/green) housing areas and cultural areas. The city is trying to reinvent itself as a knowledge economy instead of an industrial city. Aalborg University is the third largest in Denmark, and very aware of their regional development role both regarding business/industry development and public authorities (planning, schools, etc.)i. Basic government/administrative structure The city council is the highest authority. The administrative leader is the city executive. The highest political leader is the mayor. Aalborg has seven committees: the Committee for Health and Sustainable Development (which was established in 2005); the Technical and Environmental

Lusk Street Boise, ID 83706 [email protected] 208.429.6520 www.boisebicycleproject.org ACHD, March, 2016 The Board of Directors of the Boise Bicycle Project (BBP) commends the Ada County Highway District (ACHD) for its efforts to study and solicit input on implementation of protected bike lanes on Main and Idaho Streets in downtown Boise. BBP’s mission includes the overall goal of promoting the personal, social and environmental benefits of bicycling, which we strive to achieve by providing education and access to affordable refurbished bicycles to members of the community. Since its establishment in 2007, BBP has donated or recycled thousands of bicycles and has provided countless individuals with bicycle repair and safety skills each year. BBP fully supports efforts to improve the bicycle safety and accessibility of downtown Boise for the broadest segment of the community. Among the alternatives proposed in ACHD’s solicitation, the Board of Directors of BBP recommends that the ACHD pursue the second alternative – Bike Lanes Protected by Parking on Main Street and Idaho Street. We also recommend that there be no motor vehicle parking near intersections to improve visibility and limit the risk of the motor vehicles turning into bicyclists in the protected lane. The space freed up near intersections could be used to provide bicycle parking facilities between the bike lane and the travel lane, which would help achieve the goal of reducing sidewalk congestion without compromising safety. In other communities where protected bike lanes have been implemented, this alternative – bike lanes protected by parking – has proven to provide the level of comfort necessary to allow bicycling in downtown areas by families and others who would not ride in traffic.

  • City of Del Mar Staff Report
    City of Del Mar Staff Report TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Clem Brown, Environmental Sustainability/Special Projects Manager Via Scott Huth, City Manager DATE: May 6, 2019 SUBJECT: License Agreement with Gotcha Ride LLC to Operate the North County Bike Share Pilot Program in the City of Del Mar REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION: Staff requests that the City Council approve a license agreement with Gotcha Ride LLC (Attachment A) to operate the North County Coastal Bike Share Pilot Program in the City of Del Mar and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement. BACKGROUND: The City of Del Mar is committed to reducing local greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to limit the effects of climate change, while also offering viable transportation alternatives to driving. Del Mar has adopted a Climate Action Plan (CAP) that establishes a number of strategies to meet GHG emissions reduction targets, including facilitating safe, convenient, and affordable alternative transportation options. Specifically, Goal 14 in the CAP includes a strategy to “explore implementation of a bike share program…to provide another transportation alternative for traveling in town.” Transportation, especially travel via single occupancy vehicles, is a major source of GHG emissions in Del Mar and the other north San Diego County (North County) coastal cities. Offering and promoting programs like bike share, that replace vehicle trips with bike trips, is one way Del Mar can help to reduce emissions while offering more efficient and more affordable transportation modes for residents, employees, and visitors. Bike share is a service by which bicycles are made available for shared use to individuals on a very short-term basis, allowing them to borrow a bicycle at one location and return it either to the same or an alternate location within a defined geographic boundary.

Since then, it has been caught during the periodical (three times per year) monitoring only sporadically. Conversely, in October and November 2012 R. cf. belingi was recorded frequently along an y60-km lowermost stretch of the Nida River. The abundance of this fish gradually increased downstream. This paper provides details of that phenomenon and discusses it in the context of the currently known distribution of this species.

  • BBP Employee Handbook
    Boise Bicycle Project Employee Handbook 2010 Edition Boise Bicycle Project- Volunteer Handbook Introductory Letter Welcome to Boise Bicycle Project! I can still remember waking up early on Christmas morning in 1986, the 4 th year of my life. I actually don’t think I even fell asleep that night. I knew I was getting a bicycle, it was the only thing I asked for, and the only thing I wanted. When I ran into the family room and looked under the tree, there it was, my very first bike. It was a white and black BMX bike with off road tires and Murray written on the side in bright red letters. I had just received my first key to the world; the adventures to come would be limitless. The idea of Boise Bicycle Project (BBP) originated from Co-founder Brian Anderson and my shared passion for cycling and shared dissatisfaction with Boise’s incomplete cycling community. We knew there must be other people in Boise who felt the same way, we knew Boise needed a community ran bicycle cooperative that would offer bicycles and bicycle education to everyone regardless of income, and we knew that with the help of the community, we could make it happen. In October 2007 Brian and I purchased 60 bicycles from the Boise Youth Ranch for $20. We began fixing them out of a 200 sq. ft. studio apartment and distributing them to children of low-income families. Soon, the word caught on and we quickly out grew the small studio. The community began sending us all of their old bikes, and volunteers began to pour in.

  • Travel Information: the Foundry, Cavendish Street, Leeds
    Student Travel Information Pack. 2018/19. 1 Travel Information: The Foundry, Cavendish Street, Leeds We can all see the effects of the way we travel on our environment, our health and our quality of life. Increases in road traffic have produced unsustainable levels of congestion and pollution. However, sustainable travel can reduce congestion, improve local environments and encourage healthier and safer lifestyles. All of The Foundry residents are encouraged to use sustainable modes of travel to and from the site. This document has been produced to inform students about local facilities and travel options available, and to encourage the use of sustainable travel to and from The Foundry by promoting walking, cycling, public transport and responsible car use. Walking Facilities All roads surrounding The Foundry have footways and are lit by street lighting with the majority of uncontrolled crossing points having dropped kerbs with tactile paving. Crossing facilities in the form of signal controlled - including pedestrian phases, advanced stop lines, guard rail and tactile paving, assist pedestrians at the nearby junctions. All these extensive facilities provide convenient pedestrian access to the surrounding areas including Leeds City Centre, off-site amenities and Leeds Beckett University Campus.

  • Public Bicycle Schemes
    Division 44 Water, Energy and Transport Recommended Reading and Links on Public Bicycle Schemes September 2010 Reading List on Public Bicycle Schemes Preface Various cities around the world are trying methods to encourage bicycling as a sustainable transport mode. Among those methods in encouraging cycling implementing public bicycle schemes is one. The public bicycle schemes are also known as bicycle sharing systems, community bicycling schemes etc., The main idea of a public bicycle system is that the user need not own a bicycle but still gain the advantages of bicycling by renting a bicycle provided by the scheme for a nominal fee or for free of charge (as in some cities). Most of these schemes enable people to realize one way trips, because the users needn’t to return the bicycles to the origin, which will avoid unnecessary travel. Public bicycle schemes provide not only convenience for trips in the communities, they can also be a good addition to the public transport system. Encouraging public bike systems have shown that there can be numerous short that could be made by a bicycle instead of using motorised modes. Public bike schemes also encourage creative designs in bikes and also in the operational mechanisms. The current document is one of the several efforts of GTZ-Sustainable Urban Transport Project to bring to the policymakers an easy to access list of available material on Public Bike Schemes (PBS) which can be used in their everyday work. The document aims to list out some influential and informative resources that highlight the importance of PBS in cities and how the existing situation could be improved.

  • The Leeds Trolley Vehicle System Order Business Case Leeds NGT: Business Case Review January 2014
    Transport and TWAO Document Ref. C-1 Works Act 1992 The Leeds Trolley Vehicle System Order Business Case Leeds NGT: Business Case Review January 2014 Leeds NGT – Business Case Review Executive Summary The Leeds New Generation Transport (NGT) project will be a 14.8km trolleybus network with lines to: I Holt Park (North Line) I Stourton (South Line) The scheme includes Park & Ride sites on the North Line at Bodington and at the South Line terminus at Stourton. NGT will provide a high quality, highly segregated, rapid transit service with high capacity, greater punctuality and faster journey times than bus services. It will significantly improve the quality of public transport in Leeds and provide an attractive alternative to private car travel. NGT is being jointly promoted by the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (Metro) and Leeds City Council (LCC). It will open to passengers in early 2020. On award of Programme Entry to the NGT Project, DfT committed capital funding of £173.5 million towards the investment cost of the trolleybus solution as specified in the funding approval. The Promoters will contribute further to this. This document fulfils DfT’s requirements for a Business Case submission. It sets out NGT’s: I Strategic Case I Economic Case I Financial Case I Commercial Case I Management Case The Strategic Case sets out the scheme context and includes a description of the problems and issues which NGT will help to resolve. It sets out the scheme objectives and describes how the Preferred Option was developed. The Strategic Case demonstrates that NGT will make a strong contribution to meeting national, regional and local policy objectives.
