Please make more Walking paths and Trails in Long Beach. Especially in low income areas so residents can feel safe when walking for health.

Expanding transit lines and enhancing bus stop amenities, further creating bicycle infrastructure, and expanding City bike share programs (particularly in low-income communities or on college campuses) would make alternative transportation more accessible and decrease dependence on automobiles. It also ties in with Buildings & Neighborhoods and other focus areas. Reducing emissions related to the port, airport, and City-affiliated vehicles (buses, street sweeping vehicles, etc.) should also be a priority, however.

In addition to air quality and reducing emissions, maintaining noise levels to an acceptable level must continue to be enforced and protected to keep our neighborhoods livable. Decisions such as introducing international flights at the Long Beach airport must seriously consider sustainability. Not just building facilities that are incorporate green building standards but also the effects it will have on the livability of neighborhoods impacted by noise, how international flights support the local economy and whether such services are in keeping with the original intent of what a municipal airport was meant to be. Also whether it makes economic sense given LAX and OC already have such services. Decision making regarding this proposal must balance social, economic and environmental considerations.
