I do not like the noise or the smell, but my points listed below override <br /> these issues. If the city's concern is pollution the city council should mandate that all new housing construction must be <br /> equipped with solar panels (I notice that all the homes by the Adobe on Foothill are without solar. This is ridiculous. <br /> I use to cut my own grass and 1 used a battery operated leaf blower. I often had to charge it a second time in order to <br /> complete my work. <br /> I currently use a lawn service and I do not see how they can complete multiple homes'yard's without having to have <br /> several batteries. Batteries are very expensive and I it would greatly increase their cost. It is worth pointing out that we <br /> are fortunate to be able to live in Pleasanton. Most lawn service individuals are not as fortunate. I also believe such a <br /> decision would be racist. <br /> I also oppose the removal of the east side crosswalk at the corner of West Las Positas and Muirwood. I use this <br /> crosswalk a couple of times each week. If it is removed I will have to wait and cross 3 streets instead of just 1. 1 do not <br /> understand why this would even be considered.This make Pleasanton less walker friendly. I would hope that <br /> Pleasanton encourages walking. <br /> Ron Lessard <br /> 1 <br />
