SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL <br />Provided to the Planning Commission <br />Atter Distribution of Packet <br />Date Distributed: 0111 I"1 —41 <br />From: <br />Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2017 2:53 PM <br />To: Steve Otto; Jenny Soo; Kendall Granucci <br />Subject: Johnson Drive comment... <br />Dear Planning Commission and Staff, <br />Thank You for allowing comment... <br />Perhaps, this may only be comment, and would never pass the test...but I must believe alternative <br />information for a sustainable future is worthwhile. A little background...when I was 11-12 years old, I watched <br />1-680 being constructed almost everyday. My entry point was just West of the new/semi-new Safeway. The <br />highway was being poured at least a foot thick, more if my memory is good. A few of my friends were the kids <br />who opened the celebration... racing from Bernal Ave...South, to almost Sunol Blvd. We were the first traffic, <br />causing "minor" congestion...when there were no cars. Fast forward to October 11, 2017 and 135,000 + cars <br />and trucks daily. Road maintenance sucks on 1-680. You understand why I am writing...I know. <br />21st century technology is required for Johnson Drive(JDEDZ) and Pleasanton's future sustainability. So...for <br />the lack of a better word, I will, perhaps, share my own thoughts, Transitional Congestion. Johnson Drive is a <br />pilot/experiment/trial...to support quality of life services, not just someone's retirement. <br />Sustainability,flexibility and any other form you could recommend would be a worthwhile support mechanism. <br />I know your minds,creativeness and professional senses are up to the task. Although, I could go on <br />forever...with many points to ensure a Transitional Congestion support mechanism. The #1 area that <br />continues to devour my thoughts, is, In -Ground Parking Space Sensing Technology with application to support <br />residents,business,regional and traveling pass -by. Although, this is one of many areas of concern! have...along <br />with safety of all our citizens of Pleasanton...this would be a start. People require choice...!!! The details are <br />actually easy. The environmental component being reviewed tonight, IMO, without the ability to immediately <br />impact this project, if necessary, to create flexibility, existing infrastructure mitigation measures are not <br />current and lack depth...creating a self interest style of development. <br />Anyhow, "Thank You" for your time. <br />Respectfully, <br />Pete Miller <br />P14-0852 and PUD -105, JDEDZ - Public Comments Provided for October 11, 2017 Planning Commission Meeting 63 <br />
