portion of Sycamore Road. He would prefer that the golf course traffic travel on Sycamore Creek Road, Dale Way, and Alisal Street. Margo Layton concurred with Mr. Bringhurst's comments. She pointed out that in addition to her family, Summcrhill owned a portion of Dale Way. She believed something could be worked out if Council received feedback from the community desiring to use Dale Way. Vanessa Kawaihau, 871 Sycamore Road, stated that she never supported using Dale Way as an interim route to the Golf Course because she believed it might be used permanently. Although she would personally benefit from having the traffic use Dale Way in one direction, she did not believe, in the long mn, it would be a positive thing to do. She noted that without the bypass road, the golf course traffic would impact the Happy Valley community. She encouraged Council to continue its discussions with the Spotorno family to meet the City's needs and to preserve the Happy Valley community. Kevin Close, 871 Sycamore Road, noted that the discussion in the staff report for the bypass road conflicted with what is stated in the Happy Valley Specific Plan. He asked where he could be directed to find the information that documents that Sycamore Creek Way through Bridle Creek and Sycamore Heights, and parts of the golf course, including the West Bridge Lane, are part of the bypass road? He encouraged Council to address the traffic circulation as outlined in the Happy Valley Specific Plan. Mayor Pico informed Mr. Close that the City Attorney had defined what the City believes is the bypass road. Jim Freitas, 1019 Byrd Lane, suggested another alternative for routing traffic to the golf course would be to eliminate the S mm at Dale Way and direct traffic to continue on Alisal Street to Sycamore Creek Way. From the opposite direction, a stop sign could be located so that traffic crosses over Sycamore Road onto Alisal Street. Mayor Pico thanked Mr. Freitas for his suggestion, but believed that solution would take more property in order to use this as an alternative for golf course traffic. Mr. Wilson concurred with Mayor Pico's comments. He noted that Mr. Freitas's idea was valid in terms of trying to eliminate the S curve. The difficulty with his suggestion is that it will require additional right of way. Ms. Ayala asked if it was worth discussing whether to consider using Dale Way on a temporary basis? Even if Dale Way was used on a temporary basis, Mr. Wilson pointed out that staff would be required to negotiate with the property owners a public right of way along the length of Dale Way. A pavement overlay would be necessary to strengthen the existing pavement section. Pleasanton City Council 22 02/03/04 Minutes
