Phase one of the City s solar energy PPA includes installation on the rooftops of public parking facilities City Place A (50 W. 6th St.), City Place B (50 E. 5th St.) and City Place C (50 E. 3rd St.) in the Downtown area. The solar energy system totals 415.2-kilowatts, capable of generating electricity equivalent to power 60 homes. The project will reduce the City s carbon footprint by an estimated 530 tons while the City s utility partner, Southern California Edison, transitions to green technology to meet its goal of 80 percent renewable energy by 2030. The solar arrays will also provide covered parking for approximately 130 parking spaces, improving the experience for public parking customers.
TORONTO The City of Toronto has decided to opt out of an e-scooter pilot project due to safety and accessibility concerns. City council’s unanimous decision Wednesday applies to both shared and privately-owned e-scooters and will see Toronto’s existing ban on the use of the vehicles on public streets, bike lanes, sidewalks and other public spaces upheld. The provincewide, five-year pilot project, which began on Jan. 1 2020, allowed municipalities to approve the use of the vehicles on roadways or on the shoulder of a highway with municipal bylaw amendments in place, In a report released last month, accessibility advocates had argued the scooters present safety hazards, especially for people living with disabilities and seniors, when encountering them illegally operating on sidewalks.
