Summary
City staff told the Farmers Branch Sustainability Committee the active‑transportation plan and complete‑streets policy will go to a council study session and that the city is preparing a LEED for Cities certification submission.
City sustainability staff updated the Farmers Branch Sustainability Committee on multiple program efforts, including the active‑transportation plan and complete‑streets policy, the city’s pursuit of LEED for Cities designation, water‑conservation rebates, and a smart‑meter pilot.
Staff said the active‑transportation plan and complete‑streets policy will be the first item on an upcoming council study session (staff said the session starts at 3 p.m.) and that the sustainability committee’s formal recommendation supporting adoption was included in the materials sent to council.
