To provide a healthy and safe community with low greenhouse gas emissions that is free of air pollution.
Holden Heights: Traffic measures; more trees; complete phases at one time rather than start, stop, start, stop; proper drainage; road sweeping; I-4 construction mitigation
Parramore: more plants, proper drainage to get rid of standing water, I-4 construction mitigation, truck traffic
Mercy Drive: protect forest
Resilience Mobile
Resilience Mobile
A mobile unit to be used outside of hurricane season for education about energy efficiency, and during hurricane season as a mobile pop-up Resilience Hub that could go to locations where it is most needed. The unit would be available for community events, and could serve in disasters:
Mobile health care (vitals and others) capabilities
Hunger relief
Education & relief
Transportation
A transportation system that includes reduction of emissions from traffic in ways that support a better quality of life by: reducing vehicular traffic, reducing emissions from traffic, meets the needs of the most vulnerable, addresses community concerns related to hurricanes.
Downtown Orlando is beginning Climate Action Planning that will address building energy use and transportation. The climate change impacts that Downtown Orlando is experiencing now will also be addressed in the plan. These effects include extreme heat, extreme precipitation and more frequent and intense hurricanes. Join the planning effort.
El centro de Orlando está comenzando la Planificación de Acción Climática que abordará el uso de energía en el edificio y el transporte. Los impactos del cambio climático que el centro de Orlando está experimentando ahora también se abordarán en el plan. Estos efectos incluyen calor extremo, precipitación extrema y huracanes más frecuentes e intensos. Únase al esfuerzo de planificación.
