Commissioner Pearce noted that at Walnut Grove Elementary School, her son parked his bike <br />next to a dumpster, and she had tried unsuccessfully to get the bike racks moved so that more <br />students would use their bikes. Ms. Stern noted that the City could encourage that suggestion. <br />Chairperson Fox noted that the Livermore General Plan included an identification of all the <br />Class I and Class II bicycle trails and suggested that the Pleasanton General Plan include that <br />information in the Circulation Element. Mr. Tassano stated that the Community Trails Master <br />Plan was included in this document and that staff was going through a Bicycle Master Plan that <br />would better identify the Class I, Class II, and Class III facilities. He noted that information was <br />another year away from being completed. <br />Page 3-45 <br />Commissioner Pearce noted a typographical error in Program 22.10. <br />• Replace the phrase "identity areas" with "identify areas." <br />Commissioner Pearce noted that with reference to Program 23.1, she was in favor of supporting <br />walkability issues and inquired whether that should be required of places like the Oak Grove <br />development. Ms. Stern noted that a meandering pathway would also qualify as a walkway in <br />the hills. <br />Chairperson Fox liked the wording from Livermore's General Plan, which reads: "Improve the <br />safety of bicyclists and pedestrians by educating all the residents about bicycle and pedestrian <br />safety and by enforcing bicycle and motorist laws and regulations affecting pedestrian and <br />bicycle safety." <br />Ms. Stern noted that Mr. Paxson mentioned "sustainable development and planning" and <br />inquired whether the Commission would like to see his suggestions incorporated. The <br />Commissioners agreed. <br />• Incorporate Mr. Paxson's suggested language with respect to sustainable development <br />and planning. <br />Chairperson Fox requested an updated redlined version of the changes. Ms. Stern noted that a <br />new copy including the highlighted changes would be distributed to the Commission. <br />No action was taken. <br />EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, October 24, 2007 Page 15 of 15 <br />
