The Bernal Avenue /Valley <br />Avenue loop loosely defines the older inner core of the city, centered on the Downtown. The city's <br />main arterial streets all lead to the Downtown, €n-rtlie~reinforcing that area as a major community <br />focus. <br />Pedestrian pathways connect neighborhoods to parks, such as those in the Pleasanton Meadows and <br />Birdland neighborhoods. However, few exist that connect to other neighborhoods or to schools, thus <br />limiting the walkability of the city as a whole. To reach their destination, residents, including children <br />walking to school, often use sidewalks along major arterials designed primarily for vehicle use. <br />Commuiuty Chacaeter Oll607 redline 10-3 1 /03/2IX)7 <br />
