ATTACHMENT 3 <br />TOWN HALL MEETING, MAY 31, 2005 <br />Flip Chart Notes <br />(underlined statements were consensus of the group) <br /> <br /> ,, Principles = how; Vision = what. Don't duplicate the two. <br /> · Do we want Pleasanton to be as it is today in l0 years time? Ifso, we should say <br /> that. <br /> · Issue: Bemal Park - is it a center for the region or a City park? (Project has its <br /> own vision statement) <br /> · Issue: Do we want the downtown to be as it is today or much larger? (Issue <br /> addressed in Specific Plan) <br /> · Issue: Aging population. How will Pleasanton demonstrate care for the aging? <br /> Concern and care for all segments of the population? <br /> · Issue: What is the vision for traffic for the City? <br /> · We need a more concrete vision. <br /> · Traffic - hard to articulate a vision when the problem is so large and we want to <br /> maintain community character. <br /> · Solutions to this are regional in nature. <br /> · If we specifically address one group (i.e. families) in the vision, we should <br /> include everyone - families, seniors, singles, older people, professionals, children, <br /> etc. <br /> · Bemal property - what should be its relation to the City and the region? <br /> · Downtown - should it be larger and more spectacular? <br /> · Favor Version 2 in paragraph form, and eliminating some redundancies <br /> · Comments on Bemal Park are too specific - it has its own planning process <br /> · Vision should not address specific roadway improvements - too detailed <br /> · Need stronger reference to the importance of business (a strong and healthy <br /> business climate) and attracting quality businesses <br /> · Favors Version 1 and adding in reference to "embracing" diversity, natural <br /> environment, sustainability, valuing prosperity for all, valuing all residents; <br /> increasing housing opportunities and choices <br /> · Like "we" in Version 1 - gives ownership and sounds like a personal pledge <br /> · Should emphasize regional cooperation - go further and talk about "positive <br /> productive relationship" with TriValley communities in addressing traffic and <br /> land use issues "collaborativelv" <br /> · Have Principles as separate bullet points <br /> · Use Version 1 narrative with additional ideas, plus principles <br /> · Business - economic vitality and related community vitality fostering a good <br /> business climate <br /> <br /> <br />
