CITY of PLEASANTON <br />Planning Commission <br />SPECIAL <br />MINU~~~- ~QF X MEETING, <br />Date f February 20, 1974 <br />Time"~ s:o5 P.M. <br />Place; Veterans Memorial Building <br />Next. Mr. John di Man to spoke. He <br />stated he had attended a presentation <br />at Walnut Grove School on February 7, <br />1974, and the choice was three to one <br />for the northern route. This was his <br />choice as well. He cited traffic <br />congestion problems because of antic- <br />ipated use of Station D by San Ramon <br />residents totaling about 100,000, <br />which could be alleviated by placing <br />,another station at W. Las Positas <br />',B1 vd., and Santa Rita Road. He felt <br />',that the cost factor, plus more part- <br />icipation from the west end of the <br />(Valley would justify selection of <br />Station F. He closed his remarks <br />'with the question as to who would <br />'ibe the deciding body on the final <br />(choice. Chairman Pereira indicated <br />(that the City is responsible and has ~, <br />!,been asked to make a recommendation ~, <br />Lto BART's Board, and the Board, in I <br />!turn, has the responsibility of a <br />',final choice. The Planning Commis- '~ <br />sion's choice will be forwarded on <br />Ito Pleasanton's City Council. <br />'I Mr. di Manto requested that the Com- <br />mission give due consideration to <br />the west end of the Amador-Livermore <br />;Valley in the selection of any stati <br />'site. <br />Mr. Bill Hirst wished to know whether <br />BART had figures of existing usage <br />at a given station, and if so, is <br />20,000 people an inordinately large <br />number to be served by one station? <br />Mr. Blayney stated that this would <br />depend on the area in question. One <br />further method would be to use patron <br />age projections which have not yet <br />been finalized because BART is behind <br />schedule . There is ample opportunity <br />to change the size of a station to <br />suit the demand. <br />~9~ <br />\\ <br />\~\\\ <br />\\\~\ <br />\»» <br />
