Public Comment <br />Attachments to this Agenda Report include a letter from the City of Dublin (Attachment <br />5) and an a-mail from resident Linda Garbarino (Attachment 6). The City of Dublin's <br />comments are mainly related to the timing of the construction of the Stoneridge Drive <br />extension and the need for this roadway which is acknowledged in the Draft Element. <br />Ms. Garbarino's a-mail is related to the high volume of traffic on St. Mary Street and <br />Division Street between Main Street and Del Valle Parkway and its designation as an <br />arterial in the version of the Draft Circulation Element provided to the Planning <br />Commission. Staff acknowledged this designation as an error, and this roadway is now <br />designated as a collector in the Draft Circulation Element attached to this Agenda <br />Report. <br />At the Planning Commission public hearing Ms. Garbarino spoke about the designation <br />of St. Mary Street and Division Street, and also expressed her support for the Rose <br />Avenue extension, the West Las Positas interchange, and the extension of Del Valle <br />Parkway. Cyril Bonnano agreed with Ms. Garbarino regarding the designation of St. <br />Mary Street and Division Street, the Rose Avenue extension, and greater utilization of <br />Del Valle Parkway. <br />James Paxson, Hacienda Business Park, made several suggestions that were <br />incorporated by the Planning Commission, including: a more comprehensive description <br />of available commute alternatives in Pleasanton; describing Hacienda Drive as a truck <br />route for Hacienda, as approved in the Hacienda PUD; noting that several planned but <br />yet unfunded improvements, particularly for Route 84, would substantially improve <br />traffic congestion in Pleasanton; acknowledging that improving links between jobs, <br />housing, community services and amenities improves the functionality of the circulation <br />system for all users; and referencing the regional agencies the City is working with to <br />implement roadway improvements. <br />Changes to the Draft Circulation Element <br />Please see Attachment 1 for a summary of the proposed changes to the background <br />text and policies of the General Plan Circulation Element. <br />Conclusion <br />Following the City Council's review and discussion of the Draft Circulation Element, staff <br />will incorporate any amendments directed by the City Council into a final formatted <br />version of the Draft General Plan. <br />Submitted by: <br />Jerry Iserson <br />Director of Planning <br />and Community Development <br />~~~ <br />Rob Wilson <br />Director of Public Works <br />Approv by: <br />Nelson Fialho <br />City Manager <br />Page 6 of 7 <br />
