issue for the Smoketree Commons residents is unresolved and a meeting between the residents and the City's Traffic Engineer needs to lake place. However, the access issue will have minimal impact on the improvement drawings and can be addressed as a separate issue. While the public meeting was laking place on March 14th, a separate meeting occurred with the homeowners at Vineyard Villa. The preliminary plan for the Vineyard A venue Median/Landscaping and Overlay project was shown to the residents. Feedback from the meeting indicated that the homeowners' major concern is to mainlain the parking fronting the Vineyard Villa Mobile Home Park and placing a 4-hour parking limit in order to discourage cars being advertised for sale. The residents Slated they need the parking on Vineyard Avenue when large events occur on the property, citing the lack of parking on-site. While Slaff has not observed the on-street parking demand (other than for cars advertised for sale), if the City Council wishes to provide on-street parking, Council should provide direction to Slaff to include parking in the design. Currently, the improvement plans do not accommodate parking. If parking is desired, the new landscaped median island would need to be redesigned 2 to 3 feet south of the current alignment, creating a narrower median at this location. This issue needs to be resolved in order to incorporate it, if desired, into the design drawings currently underway.

The City of Pleasanton began working with the residents in the Vineyard A venue neighborhoods in 1999 to address concerns of speed and traffic volume increases in the area due to proposed development along the Vineyard Corridor. Slaff developed a series of solutions to mitigate these concerns. One of the solutions implemented was the conversion of Sauterne Way to a one-way "entrance only" roadway. This solution was supported by the residents as well as City slaff and the Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department. Several different street conversion options were discussed with the residents. The residents in the neighborhood supported a fully landscaped conversion while Slaff supported the lower-cost pavement striping conversion. Slaff presented both a landscaped and pavement striping only design to the City Council in 2000 and recommended to the City Council to complete the conversion by using pavement striping only. The City Council approved the conversion using pavement striping only. If the City Council supported the landscaped conversion to the one-way road, slaff would have held additional SR 06:132 Page 3 of5
