6th Cycle Program 6.4: Work to enhance multimodal transportation throughout Pleasanton by: 1. Implementing the network of bicycle and pedestrian facilities envisioned in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, to enhance the citywide network of bikeways, walkways, and trails that are accessible, safe, comfortable, and convenient for people of all ages and abilities, and to maximize multimodal transportation options by improving access to BART, ACE, and bus lines. The City will accomplish this by dedicating local and regional transportation funds as available to advance high priority bicycle and pedestrian improvement projects, pursuing grant opportunities to augment local these funds whenever feasible, and by requiring developers to implement multimodal improvements as part of projects. 2. Actively participating as a member agency of LAVTA and ValleyLink, and through State and regional advocacy efforts to secure improved transit service to and throughout Pleasanton, including more frequent and convenient bus and rail service. Enhance multimodal transportation and redcue VMT's for existing and future residential development. Ongoing 1.The City has combined the West Las Positas roadway reconstruction project with the West Las Positas Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project. This combination of projects allows for the relocation of the curb and gutter and the Bicycle and Pedestrian improvement design has changed to an elevated cycle track along both the north and south sides of West Las Positas. This was the preferred design, but not originally selected by the Pedestrian, Bicycle and Trails Committee due to the high construction cost. With the need to reconstruct the curb and gutter as part of the roadway reconstruction, the overall cost to the pedestrian and bicycle project is reduced making this design alternative feasible. Preliminary design is underway with anticipated completion in 18 months (spring of 2024), with construction to follow in the summer of 2024. A pilot phase project will be installed using paint and plastic to create protected bicycle lanes between Hopyard Road and Hacienda Drive. 2. The City is the current chair of LAVTA and actively collaborates with other cities in the Tri- Valley area. 6th Cycle Program 6.5: Implement the applicable housing- related air quality, climate change, green building, water conservation, energy conservation, and community character programs of the Pleasanton General Plan, including: 1. Programs 1.5, 1.7, 1.8, 1.12, 1.13, 1.14, and 3.12 of the Water Element 2. Program 9.1 of the Community Character Element 3.

Ongoing The following actions have occurred with respect to implementation of the various General Plan Programs: - Water Conservation: The City continued to implement Water Conservation programs and measures, such as lawn-replacement rebates, water controller assistance, and pool cover rebates. More significant mandatory conservation measures that had been imposed in 2021 and 2022 due to drought were lifted in April 2023, with end of the Statewide declaration - Energy Efficiency: The City adopted REACH codes (building electrification, solar and battery storage, and EV parking) for new residential and commercial construction in 2022 that became effective in 2023, amended the definition of ""covered projects"" to make more projects subject to Green Building requirements; and partnered with East Bay Community Energy to initiate efforts to improve solar and battery facilities at City facilities; and expand the availability of publicly-available EV chargers.
