LB Municipal Vehicle Fleet goes Electric

 SO WHAT? 

LB City Council is considering a replacement of the city vehicle fleet with electric vehicles to ostensibly, reduce the road noise they produce and "chiefly to reduce the number of polluting vehicles the City operates."

Let's try some math. 

 The city operates 200 vehicles (20-21 Budget)...............let's say they operate 1000 cars, trucks, beach buggies, and fire trucks. According Caltrans the Average Annual Daily Vehicle Trips to Laguna when people park is 29,400.  The entire city-fleet represents 3% of the tourist fleet of vehicles; the electric vehicle replacement program will do nothing to achieve stated goals.
