Strip malls that are not pedestrian friendly
All the attention is on the downtown, but Martinez has many other shopping areas, such as the Walmart / Home Depot center, Virginia Hills, etc. These were understandable developed with 100% focus on cars. They're very unpleasant places to be on a bike or on foot. By 2030, these will undoubtly be reworked, and they should include better pedestrian connections to their neighborhoods to allow and encourage local residents to walk to the store, or to the coffee shop, etc.

Pet pickup areas
It would be a good idea to have more pet pickup facilities, especially right by the community garden area adjacent to the Hidden Valley School on Glacier.
