    The draft Greenest City Action Plan will include directions that support less polluting, appropriately sized goods movement vehicles, including rail where appropriate. Trucks will still have a role to play for the forseeable future. Success requires support and leadership from regional, provincial, and federal partners.

    Wish I hadn't up all my votes; I like this posting. Having some sort of way of measureing progress is a very good idea. In sports they keep score. In business they keep accounts. In science they track the results closely. But what have we got to really add up how we are doing with ghg reduction? This is an intelligent and important observation. The poster I think is right in her observation (condensed) that there needs to something to give feed back in order to keep-up and accelerate momentum in this area. I'm am not sure that it is everything nor am I not sure that it must be highly comprehensive, but it is a really good point. Nice.

    I am not sure all your points would work, but the basic idea of taking the problem in hand and just fixing it is great. Taking action not just making talk!

    Ya, nice idea. I have considered that myself, but there is an issue with limited dock space, keeping competition low. Solar should reduce the cost of those little boats to something more reasonable, which would encourage usage. They are a keystone in the transportation paradigm of False Creek.
