<br />Stank)' Beuk'.'ard The Arroyo del Valle Bridge, landscaping, and narrowing of <br />the road width all contribute to the pronounced entry to Downtown Pleasanton. <br />Although efforts have been made to preserve the native black walnut trees located <br />on the north side of Stanley Boulevard iust west of California Avenue. their age is <br />causin$! their decline: the City should consider developinf! a plan for their <br />revlacement. The Downtown Specific Plan vrovoses imvrovements to this and <br />other gateways into the Downtown. " Also see Program 11.1 which addresses <br />infilling street trees on City streets. <br />23. Page 10-11 mention on Vineyard the entrance to Pleasanton with the Ruby Hill <br />Winery?? Lots prettier than now. Something to look forward to. <br />[JI} See #20, above. <br />24. Page 10-12, under bridges, are we not asking a developer to put a new bridge over the <br />Laguna at Bernal to enhance the entry into downtown Pleasanton while maintaining the <br />historic bridge presently there? <br />[JI} Yes. The cost of the new bridge will be shared by Greenbriar (related to <br />development on the Bernal Property), DeSilva Gates (related to Laguna Oaks), <br />and the City. The new bridge will accommodate east-bound traffic and <br />construction will start in 2007. <br />25. Page 10-13, paragraph 3, when we talk about parkway strips and we know it takes 6-10 <br />feet for a tree, should we not look at conditioning new streets to have this size to allow <br />trees and continue our community streetscape character? (Esp. the East side to soften <br />the quarry lands) <br />[JI} Yes, a wider parkway strip can be a requirement for new streets since street <br />standards are usually determined on a case by case basis for new PUD <br />developments. In addition, see proposed Program 11.5 which addresses this. <br />26. Page 10-13, should we mention our new distinctive downtown signage and the signage <br />for the seasons? <br />[JI} On page 10-13 the following can be added after the last sentence of the <br />paragraph under Public Signage: "In Downtown Pleasanton. distinctive new <br />signs now direct peoDle to additional stores alon$! side streets. Throughout the <br />year. the Downtown area also disvlays decorative seasonal banners on streetlight <br />standards. " <br />27. Page 10-14, the Country Fair sound walls are bouquet canyon rock and are very nice <br />compared to stucco. Maybe we should talk about other sound walls that are bland like <br />the walls along the freeway on Windsor and along West Las Positas as they are ugly!! <br />[JI} The description can be amended to reflect these comments if desired. <br />28. Page 10-14 under community activities should we mention the Senior Center and the <br />Library? <br />[JI} Those facilities can be added to the list of facilities in paragraph 5 on page <br />10-14. <br /> <br />Goals, Policies and programs: <br />29. Is the Pleasanton Arch a historical building or is it an architectural feature? It is not <br />included here as I see it. <br />[JI} I would consider it to be a distinctive historicalfeature which is considered <br />to be an icon for Downtown. As noted above, it is included in the list in the Draft <br />Conservation and Open Space Element. <br />30. Is there a mention of a historic building, architectural features ordinance? <br />
