The City and project team seek to develop a community-driven transportation plan to synthesize and advance past planning efforts, reflect the priorities of this culturally diverse neighborhood, and define a path forward for implementing multimodal transportation improvements within the study area. A successful East San Jos é Multimodal Transportation Improvement Plan (ESJ MTIP) depends on an inclusive and equitable public outreach process that will solicit input from key individuals and organizations as well as a broad cross-section of East San José’s communities and s takeholder groups. This project will also draw upon outreach and recommendations developed as part of ongoing and previously completed transportation projects in the study area. Close collaboration between city staff, the consultant team, and other current planning efforts will be essential. This Public Involvement Plan (PIP) outlines strategies to involve and engage East San José’s various communities and diverse populations, detailing the ways the project team intends to seek and secure broad participation and the expected outcomes from such participation. This PIP is a living document that will be updated throughout the project to address changing needs. Previous and Concurrent Planning Outreach Efforts Numerous planning

  • Assembly Bill No. 1765 CHAPTER 157 an Act Making Appropriations
    Assembly Bill No. 1765 CHAPTER 157 An act making appropriations for the support of the government of the State of California and for several public purposes in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 of Article IV of the Constitution of the State of California, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately. [Approved by Governor August 2, 2003. Filed with Secretary of State August 2, 2003.] I object to the following appropriations contained in Assembly Bill 1765. Item 0250-490—Reappropriation, Judicial Council. I delete Provision 3. I am deleting Provision 3 of this item as it is unnecessary and infringes on a process that is already well underway. The search process should be left up to the Judicial Council, in conjunction with the Department of General Services as the real estate experts, to determine the best site that meets the programmatic needs of the court who will ultimately reside on the property. Item 3600-001-0001—For support of Department of Fish and Game. I revise this item by deleting Provision 2. Provision 2 requires the Department of Fish and Game to develop a long-term sport fishing hatchery program and prohibits the Department from closing any fish hatch- eries until January 1, 2004. This language inappropriately restricts administrative flex- ibility in addressing funding priorities with limited resources. Item 3760-301-0005—For capital outlay, State Coastal Conservancy. I delete this item and Provisions 1, 2, and 3. This language would exclude priority projects within San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties from competing for these excess funds.

Fun facts about the celebrated one of the East Bay Regional Park District’s East Bay Regional recent restoration projects and illustrated its ongoing Park District commitment to climate change adaptation. The rise in sea level is just one of the ramifications of climate change, and the Dotson Family Marsh was designed to offset such effects through 2080. The Regional Parks Foundation shares that commitment to protecting our natural resources. One of the Foundation’s core programs, aided by generous Donors, is Environmental Restoration and Habitat Enhancement—helping to keep parklands and wildlife healthy. The creation of the Shorebird Sanctuary at Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline and cleanup efforts at Strawberry Cove and on park trails are a few of the Foundation-supported projects you’ll read about in this issue. Hours spent in the parks are not only about work, of course. There are many areas to explore and breathtaking vistas to revel in for the first (or the 50th) time.

He is a terrific ambassador for our parks, not East Bay Regional just because he’s well-behaved and well-loved on the trails. The Hayward pooch is also a great role model for environmental Park District responsibility. When Bigges visits our parks, he makes sure he leaves them cleaner than when he came. In fact, he’s picked up hundreds of plastic bottles and other debris over the years, scouring the hillsides for trash left by other hikers. His owner, Diane Petersen, collects the trash from Bigges and recycles it. Throughout the District, we follow a similar environmental ethic: to be conscientious stewards of the land and set a good example for others. We’re proud to be part of the national Leave No Trace movement, which encourages park visitors to have a minimal impact on the environment when spending time outdoors. For decades, we’ve also worked to restore habitat, remove invasive species, acquire and protect important open spaces, and educate the public about the importance of environmental stewardship.
