First, I urge you to support secure, weather protected bicycle parking spaces at the ratio of one <br /> per-unit in the Objective Design Standards that will be discussed at your January 26 meeting, as <br /> well as adequate electrical to recharge e-bikes. (I think it is a given that the number of e-bikes <br /> in use in the Tri-Valley area will only increase.) Lower income residents, in particular, need <br /> affordable transportation—which in a climate such as ours can, and often hopefully will be, a <br /> bicycle — as well as a secure place to store their bicycles. <br /> Second, as the grandfather of two future Pleasanton public school students, I urge you to <br /> support the School District's proposed redevelopment of their Bernal/First and Vineyard <br /> Avenue properties at the densities the School District is requesting. The School District must <br /> be able to raise the funds needed (i) to provide good teacher housing (if we are to attract the <br /> most qualified teachers which I think we can all agree our students deserve), and (ii) to purchase <br /> a school site property to reduce overcrowding. I understand that if the densities are too low, the <br /> School District may invoke AB2295 which would require (i) densities 50% higher than those <br /> the School District is requesting, and (ii) 30% of the units to be affordable. I believe it is not in <br /> the City's interest to force the School District to invoke AB2295. <br /> Thank you very much for your attention, and for your service on the Pleasanton City Council. <br /> Kerry W.
