SUMMARY:Green Streets for Sustainable Communities Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Green Streets for Sustainable Communities Symposium\n\nIn memory of Joseph "Joe" Kott\, Ph.D.\n\nOur public roads and their rights-of way are a huge public asset that must be better managed in an imaginative and integrated way. This symposium will bring together diverse stakeholders to explore how to better design\, fund\, build\, and maintain streets to optimize performance on many dimensions.\n\nWho Should Attend:\n\nThis symposium is for city council members and local elected officials\, city staff leaders\, sustainability coordinators\, stormwater experts\, complete street/transportation experts\, citizen and environmental activists\, public and private utilities\, arborists and tree experts\, groundwater and urban ecology experts\; and sustainability and real estate leaders for companies and other institutions.\n\nVision: Urban areas of the Bay Area are fully integrated into a "no net impact" system with the larger natural environment. This includes an integrated water system that follows the call to "slow it\, spread it\, sink it" and brings together the planning for storm water drainage\, drought concerns\, and flood prevention. No net climate change emissions means we reduce single occupancy vehicle use and promote walking\, biking\, transit or other shared low- or zero emission vehicles. Human-caused emissions are offset by a rich canopy of trees\, grasslands\, and chaparral in our open spaces surrounding the urban area and integrated throughout our urban areas parks and gardens but also greening our infrastructure especially our street grids. Air flows are slowed and softened by trees canopies\, our soil systems are protected by and enriched with natural compost.\n\nDesired Outcomes: Participants will (a) learn from experts and peers\, (b) be empowered by a community of peers and citizens who support this vision\, (c) bring this vision and set of practices to standard policies and design guidelines for their cities and organizations and\, of course (d) this will lead to change "on the ground" through both plans\, specifications and implementation.\n\nAgenda\n\n8:30 9:00 am Registration and Continental Breakfast\n\n9:00 9:10 am Welcome/ Joe Kott Remembrance/ Call to Action: Former Mayor Yoriko Kishimoto\, President Transportation Choices for Sustainable Communities\n\n9:10 9:20 am Blessing and Greetings: Kanyon "Coyote Woman" Sayers-Rood\, Ohlone Leader\n\nIndian Canyon Mutsun Band of Costanoan Ohlone People\n\n9:20 9:45 am Keynote Address: John Bela\, Partner\, Gehl San Francisco:\n\nPublic space designer\, urbanist\, sculptor\n\n9:45 11:00 am From Vision to Policy to Practice:\n\nVision of Green Streets for Sustainable Communities and how it is being translated to Practice and Policy \n\nRobin Grossinger (Scientist\, SFEI)\n\nSustainable Water Jill Bicknell\, SCVURPPP\n\nSustainable Transportation Jessica Zenk\, City of San Jose\n\nSustainable Ecology Erica Spotswood\, of SFEI\n\nSustainable Human Habitat Alison Hicks\, Mountain View City Council Member\n\nBringing it together Complete\, Green\, Sustainable Streets\n\nModerator\, Gita Dev\, Sierra Club\n\nPanel discussion and audience Q&A\n\n11:00 11:20 am Break\n\n11:20 am 12:00 How to Pay for It Investing for Sustainability:\n\nJosh Bradt\, San Francisco Estuary Partnership\, Moderator\n\nSpeakers: Active Transportation Program\, MTC (One Bay Area Grant)\, CTC (SB 1 Gas Tax funds\, Natural Resources Agency (GGRF urban greening funds)\n\n12:00 1:00 pm Lunch Interactive Multi-disciplinary Table Conversations\n\n1:00 2:00 pm "Where the (Green) Rubber Hits the Road": Making the System Work for Complete\, Green and Sustainable Streets" How to Execute the Vision: Managing Silos\, Lessons Learned and Wisdom Gained Exploring Case Studies in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties\n\nModerator: Marianna Grossman\, Minerva Ventures and TCSC Board\n\n\n San Mateo Sustainable Streets Master Plan: Prioritization of projects\, community outreach\, climate modeling\, project concepts and illustrations\, Matt Fabry\, C/CAG:\n Mountain View North Bayshore: A new paradigm for a whole area\, green complete streets\, using a Specific Plan\, incentives for ecology improvements\, storm water\, Transportation Management Association\,\n\n Michael Tymoff\, Director Real Estate District Development\, Google\; Martin Alkire\, Principal Planner\, City of Mountain View (invited)\n Palo Alto: Working across silos and community engagement.

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Green Streets for Sustainable Communities Symposium
\n\nIn memory of Joseph "\;Joe"\; Kott\, Ph.D.
\n\nOur public roads and their rights-of way are a huge public asset that must be better managed in an imaginative and integrated way. This symposium will bring together diverse stakeholders to explore how to better design\, fund\, build\, and maintain streets to optimize performance on many dimensions.
\n\nWho Should Attend:
\n\nThis symposium is for city council members and local elected officials\, city staff leaders\, sustainability coordinators\, stormwater experts\, complete street/transportation experts\, citizen and environmental activists\, public and private utilities\, arborists and tree experts\, groundwater and urban ecology experts\; and sustainability and real estate leaders for companies and other institutions.
\n\nVision: Urban areas of the Bay Area are fully integrated into a &ldquo\;no net impact&rdquo\; system with the larger natural environment. This includes an integrated water system that follows the call to &ldquo\;slow it\, spread it\, sink it&rdquo\; and brings together the planning for storm water drainage\, drought concerns\, and flood prevention. No net climate change emissions means we reduce single occupancy vehicle use and promote walking\, biking\, transit or other shared low- or zero emission vehicles. Human-caused emissions are offset by a rich canopy of trees\, grasslands\, and chaparral in our open spaces surrounding the urban area and integrated throughout our urban areas &ndash\; parks and gardens but also greening our infrastructure especially our street grids. Air flows are slowed and softened by trees canopies\, our soil systems are protected by and enriched with natural compost.
\n\nDesired Outcomes: \;Participants will (a) learn from experts and peers\, (b) be empowered by a community of peers and citizens who support this vision\, (c) bring this vision and set of practices to standard policies and design guidelines for their cities and organizations and\, of course (d) this will lead to change &ldquo\;on the ground&rdquo\; through both plans\, specifications and implementation.
