Obama's New Climate Rules" (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/04/iames-
brainard-climate-republican n 5440736.html) 1,243-word story resulting from
interview set up for Mayor Brainard. The story included these comments about
Carmel:
Over the last 20 ears Carmel has emphasized making its downtown more
years, p 9
walkable,which Brainard said has been done through public-private partnerships.
"The more you sprawl out, the more driving you have, the worse your quality of
life," he said. "By creating a walkable, pedestrian-friendly center,we get a lot of
people out of cars and driving shorter distances."
The city has also led the way in installing traffic roundabouts, which cut down on
automobile idling, reduce emissions and decrease gasoline use while also
�
preventing accidents. Carmel has converted its automobile fleet to hybrids and
alternative fuels, and is looking at doing the same with its police cars. The city
also has built 126 miles of bike trails.
