Multiple Unit system extending from Pleasanton to Lathrop. Mayor Thorne addressed <br /> his fellow Authority members explaining that the City of Pleasanton's formal policy <br /> position was to support a BART extension and that the alternative should be carried <br /> forward and considered in the EIR. Mayor Thorne also requested that a presentation is <br /> made to the full City Council in a public meeting so that the Council and the community <br /> could consider and evaluate the Multiple Unit system alternative recommended by <br /> Authority staff. <br /> The presentation to be given by Authority staff and consultants will include information <br /> on several of the issues important to the City Council and the community including <br /> comparative ridership estimates, required right-of-way take, cost, project schedule, and <br /> parking. They will also present details on the Multiple Unit system technology, design <br /> and operation, and will present the reasons they favor this option over other <br /> alternatives. <br /> City and Authority staff will keep the Council informed as to future opportunities for <br /> discussion and input on key decisions in advance of the July 2019 feasability study due <br /> date. Topics of interest include the Dublin/Pleasanton station expansion design, and <br /> project operational cost solutions. <br /> Submitted by: Approved by: <br /> rian Do an Nelson Fialho <br /> Assistant City Manager City Manager <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
