add a senior assisted-care housing complex similar to the assisted living center that was built in Livermore, at Murietta and East Stanley Boulevard across from the Valley Care Hospital? Will Pleasanton be known for its concern and care for all segments of its population? I believe our Vision statement needs some specific recognition of this need. 4. We all know that traffic surrounding Pleasanton will probably get worse given the growth in Dublin and possibly in North Livermore. What is our vision ten years from now? Is a worsening situation inevitable? If so, what should our vision of the city be? Should we insulate ourselves from the problem by closing offcut- through streets? Should we concentrate on having the state build a Route 84 super-highway? These are specifics that usually are part of a Strategy statement but should start with what our vision is for our city. When Martin Luther King presented his "I have a Dream" speech in Washington, he said "I have a dream .... where little black boys and black gifts will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers." One can visualize that. One can visualize the changes that had to be made to make Dr. King's vision come true. In these Vision statements, - I have a difficult time visualizing change. I see status quo, which may be OK. What I believe is needed, are more Specific mental images of where we want to be in 10 years. I want to see the picture in my mind. I believe what's here are niceties that 10 years now we would end up saying - this is nice, but did we achieve our vision? I don't believe we would know. So, my suggestion is to be more specific in our vision so we will have the ability to better measure ourselves in 10 years.
