<br />17. Public Comment
<br />
<br />Fred Norman addressed the City Council concerning the Iraq war.
<br />
<br />Michael O’Callaghan noted at the last meeting Council agonized over the Stoneridge
<br />extension and said there was an attempt to put personal feelings and commitments aside.
<br />He thanked each councilmember for arriving at the decision, which he felt was for the best
<br />of the community.
<br />
<br />Robert Allen said from 1974 to 1988 he represented the City on the BART Board and he
<br />has been trying to get BART extended to Livermore, which would eliminate Pleasanton
<br />cut-through traffic and provide easy access to the BART station. He urged the Council to
<br />reconsider having LAVTA put an Express bus between the BART park n’ ride in Livermore
<br />and the BART station.
