(3) We feel the expansion of El Charro will benefit the entire community, not just East Pleasanton. In fact, it will bring more travel options to the entire Valley, including vehicles coming from Livermore down Stanley Blvd. We believe other funding sources than just East Pleasanton development should be used to pay for it. This would then allow the total number of units in East Pleasanton to be reduced since infrastructure costs will be reduced. (4) We are concerned about traffic! The traffic layout should be designed so Busch is not the primary collector carrying most of the vehicle volume as it connects to Valley. The East Pleasanton internal street network should distribute and disperse traffic to provide less impact to Valley which is congested at commute hour, and which is one of the most heavily traveled streets in the city. (5) We ask you to continue the City's program of controlled and balanced growth so that East Pleasanton will not be flooded with an inordinate amount of new houses over short period time. In order to meet the expected infrastructure costs, developers will be seeking a glut of housing approvals right up front. (6) We would like to see an option where the OSC is moved so the new development can be better blended with existing homes. (7) We hope you as our representatives will continue to fight to maintain local control in City planning. We desire a pushback on RI-INA and ABAG and its One Bay Area decentralized planning. We don't want Pleasanton planned by planners in Oakland! We appreciate your consideration of the above issues. Thank you.
