Talking points:

• We support Edmonds efforts to create policies that will preserve economic vitality, the quality of life and protect the environment.  
• We encourage Edmonds to create walkable, livable neighborhoods with the majority of new development centered around transit to make it easier for residents to get around and to reduce Green House Gas emissions.
• We would like to see the city develop standards for low impact development and green building that protect our environment and make our community a regional example for sustainability.
