Dear Ms. Nichols:
Thank you for your excellent work on the draft AB32 Scoping Plan. The plan is an exciting and bold step in meeting the challenge of climate change.
For the past 50 years, Greenbelt Alliance has been the Bay Area’s advocate for open spaces and vibrant places, supporting smart land-use planning at the city and county level. We appreciate the opportunity to offer our comments on the draft Scoping Plan.
