Changing ways of getting around is very troublesome to elderly and poor people. Electric vehicles <br />are a joke. They are heavier and will destroy roads, poor people can’t afford and charging them will <br />cause higher electric bills for people who can’t afford it . <br />Instead of choosing to put in mixed use, properties are more businesses that would allow me and <br />my family to walk to fulfill most of our errands. The city is putting in more and more apartments. I <br />take issue with that . Also, we would love to walk more, but the area of Saint Anthony, in which we live <br />does not have sidewalks, making it a safety hazard for my children. <br />Instead of choosing to put in mixed use, properties are more businesses that would allow me and <br />my family to walk to fulfill most of our errands.

We use battery snowblower or clear drive way by hand. We use battery <br />chain saw. <br />Avoid stop and go traffic and stop signs to increase fuel efficiency. <br />It seems the city needs to step up and try to get more federal or local grants. Also, many <br />homeowners have moved due to increase in taxes. Stop allowing for kids that get rides out of the St <br />Anthony area and there parents do not pay same taxes as SMALL St Anthony area residents do? <br />I don’t have a car! <br />limit trips to store. I'm 76. There really aren't good public transportation options. <br />Buying an electric car for us isn't smart , since we drive minimally and our 8-year old car has many <br />good miles le to go. <br />trying to minimize trips to stores, reduce using my vehicle and maybe an electric vehicle (depending <br />on factors like cost , charging options) <br />None of the listed options are realistic for our situation <br />Not doing anything <br />I am already doing, or have done most of these. No additional actions needed. <br />Plug in hybrids are a great alternative especially if you have solar at your home <br />I would love to see the city provide electric circulating buses in the community to local clinics and <br />shopping areas. <br />Could we balance these questions with accountability on ALL venues? <br />electric vehicles have downsides too (environmental costs) so am unsure about embracing those <br />I can't think of anything. I don't drive a lot or use anything excessive in my lifestyle
