Perhaps the most valuable policies of AlbD are those enacted at the governmental level. Examples of these policies include the following: (a) creating an official active living advisory board to provide recommendations for capital improvements and to provide input on active living-related policies (Chapel Hill’s town council, North Carolina); (b) adopting a pedestrian-friendly street standards amendment to the general plan of streets citywide (Sacramento’s city council, California); (c) approving $150,000 in redevelopment funds to construct a comprehensive streetscape and pedestrian safety design for 23rd Avenue (Oakland’s city council, California); (d) implementing a new active living design standards checklist by the city planning department
