We've lost access to Amador Courts and the courts at First Street and Bemal Avenue <br /> because they were replaced by parking lots. We have to travel to neighboring cities during <br /> peak hours because we are turned away from courts that are overloaded. <br /> <br /> · We pay for the courts because there's a system here where we have to pay to keep them <br /> nice but there isn't enough to meet demand. You can give some of that space for tennis <br /> courts. <br /> <br /> DAVE MCCARROLL (Board for Pleasanton Softball League) <br /> · Softball is popular this year and we've had to turn away adults because of the limited <br /> amount of lighted fields. I think there's a need for lighted softbalt fields. <br /> <br />JEFF BAUSER (President of Pleasanton Foothill Little League) <br /> · One reason I chose to raise my kids here was the amount of sports opportunities. Youth <br /> sports are important to youth development. So, I just want to reiterate the importance of <br /> having multi-use fields that we all can share. <br /> <br /> RICHARD OCHOA <br /> · Will the park facilitate running and jogging? Will there be paved trails? <br /> <br />BOB NICKERSON <br /> · Keep in mind, these facilities are going to cost money, there's maintenance, electricity costs <br /> for lighting, and there isn't an infrastructure. <br /> <br /> · I disagree with Joe Russo's assessment that everything should be in one area. Move the <br /> Community Park south where the three access roads come together to provide more <br /> access and the lighted fields will fit in better where there's already more noise and more <br /> parking. <br /> <br /> · Leave a buffer zone between Downtown and the park. It will keep some of the glare and <br /> noise out of the Downtown area and it preserves some of the rural character of this town. <br /> <br />MR, GREYWALD <br /> · One thing I want to point out, the mission statement makes four points about open space. <br /> <br /> · Why do we need to have a cultural arts center on the property when there are so many <br /> vacant buildings in town? When you're driving in to Pleasanton you see open space, which is <br /> a good first impression of the town but if you add more buildings, like this Cultural Arts <br /> Center, it's going to take away this impression, rd like to see things as open as possible. <br /> <br />TESSY WAGNER PEAS <br /> · There is a strong vibrant adult community in sports. We have over 500 players in our adult <br /> soccer league (ages 21-50+). We fight for field space iust as everyone else. We're just as <br /> important as the kids. Our league was instrumental in gathering a lot signatures for the "Save <br /> <br />Bernal Property Town Meeting ]SummaryReporL-Apdl//,2005 Pagel5 <br /> <br /> <br />
