Box 520 <br /> Pleasanton, CA 94566-0802 <br /> www.pleasantonrecycles.org <br /> From: Andy Burstein [ <br /> Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 1:48 PM <br /> To: Mayor and City Council <br /> Subject: Measure PP prohibits road construction <br /> Dear Members of the Pleasanton City Council, <br /> I am writing to urge you to vote to affirm that the measure PP ban on structures also includes a ban <br /> on roads. <br /> I believe this follows both the letter of the law and the spirit of measure PP. <br /> It follows the letter, since common usage of the term "structure" in the engineering and construction <br /> industry includes roads, as Pleasanton's own Planning Commission has twice confirmed <br /> unanimously. <br /> It follows the spirit of the proposition as well, since PP was intended to stop construction and grading <br /> on our hillsides. Constructing roadways on steep slopes will clearly require massive amounts of <br /> grading and will have a major, visible impact on our hillsides. <br /> I know that many people want to change what PP means so they can build new roads that will bypass <br /> traffic in their own neighborhoods. But the proper and legal way for them to do this is to get a new <br /> law passed, not to ignore the clear meaning of the existing law. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Andy Burstein <br /> <br /> <br /> Click here to report this email as spam. <br /> t <br />
