.•► <br /> it <br /> A t <br /> DOWNTOWN <br /> ASSOCIATION <br /> October 3, 2023 <br /> Mayor Brown and Pleasanton City Council Members, <br /> The Board of Directors for the Pleasanton Downtown Association (PDA) has carefully <br /> reviewed the staff report regarding the Lions Wayside and Delucchi Park Conceptual Plans. At <br /> this time, we formally request that this item be continued to the October 17th City Council <br /> meeting so that the PDA has the opportunity to provide thoughtful comment on both the <br /> proposed conceptual plans and elements of Phase 2. As noted in the staff report, the PDA <br /> Board of Directors will be seeing this full presentation by city staff for the first time on <br /> October 101h at our monthly board meeting. <br /> The Lions Wayside and Delucchi Park Project has been a top priority for our organization for <br /> nearly 15 years. We have attended numerous council meetings and worked collaboratively <br /> with city staff through multiple rounds of community outreach, planning workshops, state <br /> and local governmental outreach and conceptual design development. We are champions for <br /> this project and want to see the eastern gateway of Downtown become a beautiful and <br /> functional amenity for the entire community to enjoy for decades to come. We do not want <br /> to hinder the progress of this process, but we do feel we deserve the opportunity to fully <br /> understand all elements of the proposed project and provide comment before this is moved <br /> into the next stage. <br /> We are grateful for the time and effort put into this project and appreciate your <br /> consideration of our request for continuation. <br /> Best Regards, <br /> Laura Brooks <br /> Interim Executive Director <br /> Pleasanton Downtown Association <br />
