Promote opportunities for people only spaces in commercial areas complete with benches, places for bicycles and lots of trees.  This is a great way to increase foot traffic in retail areas while at the same time creating great places for people to meet, exchange ideas and sip on their favorite beer or coffee.

Many people use Hwy. 101 and it is really a boring drive and frustrating.  If we could make it more beautiful and relaxing, perhaps we could lessen the road rage, etc.  Also, this greening of the highway by planting more trees would bring more rain to this desert state (as trees attract more rain).  I, for one, take Hwy 280 because it is such a lovely drive and never go on Hwy 101 unless I have no alternative.  Once the trees are planted, they should not need any upkeep.  Nature would provide that.

Thanks for this opportunity.
My main concern is the ugly billboards.
Get rid of them.
