Expanded Vision Statement
From report:
The City of Alameda is an inclusive and accessible place where people of every age, ability, gender, sexual orientation, race, culture, and background are supported and meaningfully engaged. We celebrate and embrace our most important asset - our people - in everything we do. Alameda is a low-crime community thanks to our ability to meet the needs of our most vulnerable community members, while maintaining well- resourced public safety and supportive services. Residents are proud to have beautiful, clean, and safe outdoor spaces for play and recreation, as well as a variety of high quality schools, local businesses and restaurants, public events, and art that reflect the vibrancy of their neighborhoods. One of our biggest projects, Alameda Point, is becoming a fully activated community and contributes to the economic, cultural, and recreational landscape of the entire City. The City is working to ensure that all Alamedans (including our most vulnerable community members, workers, students, and seniors) can afford housing that meets their needs, and that those who are unhoused or at risk of being unhoused can access the services they need. Alameda supports accessible, safe, and climate-friendly transportation options, including walking, biking, and public transit, in addition to auto infrastructure, to get residents and visitors to more destinations in the City and across the Bay Area with less traffic and fewer crashes.
Alameda is actively working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while becoming more resilient to climate change and rising sea and ground water levels. Residents and businesses feel prepared for natural disasters, such as earthquakes and flooding, and the City is prepared to support them. Through fiscal responsibility and good governance, Alameda leverages its committed staff and many assets - housing, businesses, transportation choices, architecture, recreation, and natural resources – that contribute to the long-term betterment of the community. Overall, Alamedans are proud and hopeful for their City.
