PLEASANTON SACRAMENTO FRESNO TRANSPORTATION CONSULTANTS CONCORD February 4, 1987 Chandler Lee Assistant Planning Director City of Pleasanton 200 Old Bernal Avenue Pleasanton, CA 94566 Dear Chandler: This is to present the proposal of TJKM to conduct the downtown Pleasanton circulation and parking study. We are very enthused about the prospect of being involved with this important project. We understand the purpose of this study is to develop a detailed circulation and parking plan on a block by block basis for the downtown area. This plan would represent a follow up to the General Plan studies conducted by TJKM for the City of Pleasanton and at the same time would take advantage of the long term background of TJKM personnel in the City of Pleasanton (approximately 15 years) and draw upon our capabilities as traffic engineers with a planning, operational and design perspective. TJKM has been involved with many of the traffic related issues of downtown Pleasanton in recent years including various developmental projects, specific traffic studies, traffic signal design, traffic signal systems planning, design and operation, and studies of important arterials that affect the downtown area such as Del Valle Parkway and Bernal Avenue. As transportation professionals with a statewide practice, we have had an opportunity to provide' traffic engineering services for many communities (over 185 since 1974) including many assignments in downtown areas. Further, many of our key personnel have previously served as city traffic engineers. Since our company headquarters office was moved to Pleasanton over two years ago, many of our professionals have grown familiar with the City of Pleasanton circulation issues including those of its downtown area. We see the downtown area of Pleasanton as having, unlike many mid-size community downtown areas, both an interesting past and a very exciting future. I believe Pleasanton has planned a very attractive mix of residential, retail, employment, cultural and educational activities for its downtown area which results in it being an important activity center on a 24-hour basis. In spite of our long history and involvement with the downtown area, we have no preconceived notions as to the appropriate solutions to the obvious long term circulation and parking issues in the downtown area. Therefore, we would approach this project utilizing our informed past, analyzing current conditions as 4637 Chabot Drive, Suite 214/Pleasanton, California 94566 · (415) 463-0611
