TRANSPORTATION/LAND USE MEETING
INTRODUCTIONS
Brendan Reed reminded the group that the purpose of the first 4 CCWG
meetings is to get an overview of possible municipal actions that can be
taken to decrease carbon emissions. At subsequent meetings, group
members will vet measures to find ones that are suitable for Chula Vista.
PRESENTATIONS & DISCUSSIONS
Land Use and Transportation – Ed Batchelder, City of Chula Vista
Alternative Fuels – Mike Lewis, Pearson Fuels
The presentations and discussions generated numerous clarifying
questions by the group. In particular, there were questions about Allied
Waste’s experience using biodiesel in their fleet and the applicability of
other fuel types in Chula Vista. In addition, some members questioned
whether new commercial and residential developments in eastern Chula
Vista would really generate “walkable” communities.
