Community Voices: An environmental opportunity at Tropicana Field

Idea Stacking

"There is a missed opportunity to address climate change in St. Petersburg. The "Sunshine City" should not be as ironically named as the "Sunshine State". Planting trees is great - but it's not like there is a lack of trees in St. Pete. An aerial view of the city can show that there is about as much CO₂ capture as we're going to get. Mangroves are great as well. But I heard no mention of incentivizing solar roofs, ubiquitous electric vehicle charging stations (especially in the new condos being built), and lithium-ion storage. The candidate who is serious and knowledgeable about renewable energy gets my vote."

from "Mayoral candidates talk Trop site, Rays’ future, systemic racism and more" - George Everitt

"Why not have a monthly pass with a reduced fee for daily commmuters, make them the bread and butter customers! Chicago has monthly fees for all forms of daily commuters, Lake Superior has a ferry that transports people and vehicles between Bayfield to Madeline Island, my point is that there are a number of options to provide a reliable transportation option to relieve the congestion on our roads!"

from "Cross-Bay Ferry service to return, and will go year-round in 2024" - Karen Swedberg
