This email acknowledges receipt of your email to the Mayor and City Council, the City Manager, and City staff. Thank you for your interest in the City of Pleasanton. Regards, Ellen Holmgren, Administrative Assistant City of Pleasanton From: kerry ,> Sent: Wednesday,January 25, 2023 12:22 PM To: Mayor and City Council <citycouncil@cityofpleasantonca.gov> Subject: Increased Bike Parking in Objective Design Standards and School District Development ISome people who received this message don't often get email from am why this is important Dear City Council Members: My wife and I are recent transplants from the East Coast to Pleasanton— where our daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren live — and the greater Tri-Valley area. We are retired and very happy to be here. After moving here, and after a very long hiatus, I began road cycling again. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of bike trails and lanes, as well as the general receptivity to cyclists and the courtesy shown to cyclists by most motorists in this area. That, in turn, has gotten me interested in the general role and place of cycling in the Tri-Valley area. As a general proposition, I believe that the more we can reasonably encourage residents to cycle — both as a means of transportation and as a form of recreation—the better off we will be as a community, from multiple perspectives (environment, personal health, reduced auto traffic congestion, etc.). With that as a background, I write now regarding two current issues before the Council. 1
