During implementation, this entity should be maintained and institutionally strengthened. In addition, working level technical teams from across agencies should be formed to support and enforce implementation in specific areas of the city (i.e., a high density transit node, a suburban neighborhood, etc.) This could be done on a pilot basis to test its effectiveness.
