From: To: mem Subject: East Pleasanton plans Date: Friday,May 17,2013 1:13:27 PM Dear City Council Members, My husband and I have lived in Autumn Glen for 18 years, and we have enjoyed raising our daughters here. We have watched this city grow and become congested with traffic; but the growth has been balanced throughout the city. Most of the current proposals for managing future growth of East Pleasanton are disproportionately putting the bulk of low-income and high-density housing in the Eastern part of Pleasanton. This will substantially change the feel of this side of town; it will overburden our streets and schools, and it will create a very different "rental" mindset that is less committed to the well-being of the area and of the city. I urge you to choose Option One for a fair mix of single family and high-density units. Please try to keep the city balanced and keep the East Side housing numbers at a lower level to reduce the overall impact on surrounding neighborhoods. It is also essential that El Charro is extended to Stanley Blvd to reduce traffic impacts on the Valley corridor. Yes, we must allow growth, but let's do it fairly throughout the city and with a balance of home- owners and renters, so the feeling of community and pride in our community is consistent throughout our lovely city. Thank you. Sincerely, Jennifer Rieble Click here to report this email as spam.
