The City also regulates traffic speeds within Pleasanton.

The 2002 Dosvntosvn Specific Plan identified parking as one of the most important issues for the Downtown and critical for the success of Downtown businesses. In addition to special parking requirements, Downtown businesses also have the option of entering into an agreement with the City to pay parking in-lieu fees or forming a parking assessment district to provide parking lots.
