This month our
Civic Affairs committee heard from
Starship Technologies about their robots and their plans for Walnut Creek. The robots, which are 99% autonomous and under constant human supervision or control, can detect obstacles and traffic and makes decision on whether to stop or adjust speed autonomously. With a delivery distance of 1-1.5 miles, they can carry up to 10kg (2-3 shopping bags) in a locked cargo compartment and can be used for delivering a whole host of different items.
The committee also heard from
Blake Griggs Properties
, the developers of the
Walnut Creek Transit Village
, about the mixed use project breaking ground at the Walnut Creek BART station. Visit their
website
for information about the project.
Civic Affairs
Business advocacy is the heart of the
Civic Affairs Committee and critical to the mission of the Chamber. The Civic Affairs Committee monitors and analyzes public activities that could impact the greater business community. From growth management to business enhancement, from parking meters to parking structures, from the general plan to site-specific plans, the Civic Affairs Committee is engaged. In addition, the Committee is often supported by WALPAC, the Chamber's effective political action committee.
Please contact Nicky Henzie at [email protected] if you would like more information about the Civic Affairs Committee.
