Significance Criteria The impact questions above constitute the significance criteria for this environmental topic. Discussion of Checklist Items Less than Significant Impacts. The City of Pleasanton Police Department would continue to provide police services throughout the city, including to the proposed trails, bicycle routes, and sidewalks identified in the proposed Master Plan. Although there could be some increase in crime along these routes, the proposed Master Plan would not result in development not previously planned or accounted for by police service providers. Implementation of the proposed Master Plan could result in a minor increase in emergency medical services along the proposed trails. For a discussion of parks and recreation, see the discussion, below, under 14. Recreation. No Impacts. The proposed Plan would be expected to add trails, bicycle routes, and sidewalks throughout Pleasanton. No additional need for fire fighting services is expected to result and no impacts on the Fire Department for these services would result due to the proposed Master Plan or its implementation. The proposed Master Plan would have no impacts on the Pleasanton Unified School District as it would not result in an increase in population. Note that some of the planned pathways could accommodate children and their parents traveling to and from school. Revised 9/4/09 27 9/4/2009
