Bryon Hay, 4251 Payne Road, was concerned about the affordable housing that is being proposed for the Donlon School property. There was a meeting of over 100 concerned residents who wanted to express their opposition to this proposal. He would like the residents to receive prior notification of any matters that are being discussed regarding this property. If affordable housing is allowed to be built there it would affect the quality of his life. Vice Mayor Pico requested the order of the agenda be changed as follows: Item 6a, Item 6c, Item 6f, Item 6d, and then Item 6e. 6.

Mr. Montgomery said the capacity for each train is 600, with 1200-1400 passengers a day each way. Ms. Ayala asked if Mr. Montgomery felt the trains would pick up more passengers in Pleasanton than in the four stops before Pleasanton. Mr. Montgomery expected the trains to pick up 500 passengers in Tracy, and some would get off in Livermore and Pleasanton. Over all, the four trains are expected to hold the number of passengers projected. Ms. Michelotti asked if he expected the passengers to board in San Jaoquin County and get off in Livermore or Pleasanton and then be bussed to the BART stations. Mr. Montgomery said there will be shuttle service to and from the BART stations. Ms. Dennis asked if the train would stop if the platforms were not provided.
