ENTAL MATERIAL <br /> Provided to the City iltrom: Pleasanton City Clerk After Distribution of Packet <br /> ubject: Owens Drive <br /> Date I (O <br /> From:Craig Lanway <br /> Sent:Tuesday,January 16, 2018 12:21 PM <br /> To: Mayor and City Council <br /> Subject:Owens Drive <br /> Dear Mayor and Council Members, <br /> In anticipation of the Owens Drive issue coming up at this evening's City Council meeting I spent a few minutes looking <br /> at the ground floor of the apartment building where it was explained at one or more past Council meeting that the space <br /> was to be used for retail. That was the rationale for the parking in front of the structure and the reduction of the <br /> eastbound lanes to one.As of this morning there is no evidence of any retail space either in operation or in <br /> construction. In fact it appeared as I walked past the ground level units on both Owens Drive and Willow Road that a <br /> few of the units may be occupied but not by retail. <br /> From reading the engineering report that is part of the agenda for tonight's Council meeting I am certain that this issue <br /> is largely past in the Council's mind and there will be no widening of Owens in the near future.As a resident and <br /> homeowner in Pleasanton since 1983 I think this is one of the most misguided changes to traffic, bicycle and pedestrian <br /> fety I've witnessed. However, if any of you are interested in reading an excellent opinion piece on this subject, please <br /> fer to a short article in the January 16th Nextdoor.com. <br /> Craig Lanway <br /> Pleasanton,CA 94588 <br /> Share a Gift of Kindness <br /> Click here to report this email as spam. <br /> • <br /> 1 <br />
