PLEASANTON VISION STATEMENT <br /> Pleasanton is a well planned, balanced community with desirable <br /> neighborhoods, an award- winning downtown with its small -town <br /> character, a diversified economic base, excellent schools, and a wide <br /> variety of community facilities. Pleasanton is a great place to live, raise a <br /> family, work, and do business. As our city approaches buildout in the <br /> next few years, we will strive to maintain these desirable qualities by <br /> continuing to develop a safe, convenient, and uncongested circulation <br /> system; by providing a comprehensive system of bicycle and pedestrian <br /> trails; by providing additional recreational and cultural facilities for the <br /> health and well -being of our residents; by strengthening our outreach to <br /> business of all sizes; and by preserving our natural resources, including <br /> water and air quality, and our community's environmental sensitivity. We <br /> will seek to minimize health and safety hazards. <br /> Pleasanton is committed to sustainable community principles and will <br /> meet the needs of the current generation without compromising the <br /> ability of future generations to meet their needs. Pleasanton will <br /> maintain a positive and productive relationship with the Tri- Valley region, <br /> working collaboratively to address traffic and land use issues. We will <br /> continue to emphasize community participation and model the principles <br /> of the "Community of Character" of respect, responsibility, compassion, <br /> self discipline, honesty, and integrity. The City's future, this vision, will <br /> depend upon maintaining a balanced budget, using our financial <br /> resources wisely, and continuing to promote Pleasanton as the premier <br /> place to live, work, and do business. <br /> xvi <br />
