<br /> <br />pL EASANTON@ <br /> <br />February 7, 2006 <br /> <br />Ashley Nguyen <br />MTC Staff Liaison <br />101 Eighth Street <br />Oakland, CA 94607 <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Nguyen: <br /> <br />RE: Regional Rail Plan - Inclusion of the BART Extension to Livermore <br /> <br />This is in follow-up to the public workshop held in Livermore on December 5, 2005, at which <br />Livermore's Vice-mayor and a Pleasanton City Council member pointed out the merits of extending <br />BART to Livermore. The City of Pleasanton supports the inclusion of the extension of BART to <br />Livermore in the Regional Rail Plan. <br /> <br />Tri-valley residents, along with other residents of Alameda, Contra Costa and San Francisco Counties, <br />approved BART's initial plans to include a core system of 33 stations to serve 17 communities in the <br />three counties; a Livermore station was one of the 33 envisioned. The City of Pleasanton supports the <br />retention of the Livermore BART station as originally proposed and supported by voters. <br /> <br />We believe that the retention of the Livermore BART Station in the Regional Rail Plan is consistent <br />with the Plan's stated goals of expanding the regional rapid transit network, improving connections to <br />other trains and transit, and increasing rail capacity and rail investment around transit-friendly <br />communities and businesses. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration of this matter. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Jennifer Hosterman <br />Mayor, City of Pleasant on <br /> <br />c: Councilmembers <br />City Manager <br /> <br />PUBLIC WORKS <br /> <br />Administration <br />200 Old Bernal Ave. <br />(925) 931-5648 <br />Fax: 931-5479 <br /> <br />Engineering <br />200 Old Bernal Ave. <br />(925) 931-5650 <br />Fax: 931-5479 <br /> <br />Traffic <br />200 Old Bernal Ave. <br />(925) 931-5650 <br />Fax: 931-5479 <br /> <br />P.O.
