Position Papers
Freeway Congestion and Traffic in Pleasanton
Traffic is impacted on I-580 and the I-580 west to I-680 interchanges for large portions of the day. PLEASANTON SHOULD NOT BUILD PARALLEL ARTERIAL STREETS to relieve this interstate freeway congestion. Freeway congestion will continue to increase as development continues in San Joaquin County, Dublin and the Tassajara Valley in San Ramon. Relieving freeway congestion is the responsibility of the State and Federal government, NOT the citizens of Pleasanton
The Bernal Park
For the last ten years I was part of a community group working to reduce the development on the Bernal Property situated across from the fairgrounds. It took a long time to get to where we are today, 581 housing units and 320 acres for a public park. This park should include amentities for all residents of Pleasanton.
Economic Vitality
My goal is to maintain Pleasanton as a healthy, safe, and attractive place to live, work, and raise a family. To do this, we must encourage quality businesses to stay or relocate to our community. These businesses will provide a needed tax base to continue our level of community service.
