She inquired whether this design is intended to be the standard for the future design of all bus shelter benches within the City. Community Development Director Gerry Beaudin responded to her concern and advised her that the benches and bus shelters are not designed nor maintained by the City of Pleasanton; however, they are the property of Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) otherwise known as "Wheels." He agreed to provide the speaker with contact information for LAVTA. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS None MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS Commissioner Balch voiced appreciation for the striping along both sides of the street at Kottinger Gardens, noting the street was narrowed to slow traffic for seniors to allow them to cross more safely. He mentioned the timing of the project may not have been in line with the City's expectation as it created some concern among drivers, however, now that the striping and signage have been installed, he likes the design and appearance, especially given it slows traffic and gives the public a safe avenue to cross. He also appreciates that the City has addressed the traffic in front of Meadowlark Dairy with traffic cones. Commissioner Ritter referred to the Pleasanton Downtown Association (PDA), the Chamber of Commerce and Friends of Pleasanton as formulating a group to make recommendations on the parking in the Downtown. He asked and confirmed that the City Traffic Engineer Mike Tassano was the correct staff contact. MATTERS FOR COMMISSION'S REVIEW/ACTION/INFORMATION 4.
