City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Project Response to Public Meeting Verbal Comments Final EIR 4-8 FirstCarbon Solutions https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/EIR/4 - Final EIR/21480016 Sec04-00 Response to Public Meeting Verbal Comments.docx safe. I mean, we're not being selfish saying we want these houses. We looking out for the neighborhood. We're looking out for Pleasanton. It's a it's a great plan that Ponderosa has done and worked with us even though it's taken 11 years. Um I don't see any negativity in it myself. Uh that stoplight was going to save some lives because my son did get an accident at that church entrance years ago with my mother. So um we know what an accident is like on on that section. So that stoplight is definitely going to help. The traffic it is busy, but I think with the light coming in may change the whole deal that people might want to stay on that damn freeway instead of taking the scenic ride. Um, and because they people that ride their bicycles are in danger and even coming in and out of my driveway and especially coming in my driveway. I've almost been hit several times for people that will not slow down. go across behind me and go around the ridge and I just hold my breath every time that they don't kill me. So this project to me I'm hoping you guys can see the benefit of it because it's not just for my family but it's for Pleasanton as well and for our neighbors and for our wildlife. Thank you.

Therefore, no further response is required Ted Vinson (T.VINSON 2) Hello, I'm Ted Vinson. Uh I at 11029 Dublin Canyon Road. I'm actually not on the road. I'm a mile and a half uh up in Devany Canyon at the head of Deanny Canyon on property that my family has had for 70 years. We're kind of the newcomers in the area because you had Bob Devany here. Uh you had Diane Lester which is Teraa uh actually and the Cronins aren't represented. That's another family. They've been around for about 150 years. East Bay Regional Park came in I don't know 30 years ago, 40 years ago. I kind of view them as the newcomers. Uh, first I would like to thank uh whoever moved the parking and staging area out of the meadow, the middle of the meadow and moved it back to a location where the meadow has now been uh well a good start for its preservation. The next major consideration in terms of preserving the meadow, which is certainly the thrust of my presentation, uh is how the um well park users will get from that staging and parking area to the entrance to the trail. Uh the trail that goes up to Pleasanton Ridge, the north end of Pleasanton Ridge Park. Uh that trail has actually been constructed. It is already built and over the past month or so uh I have already experienced a at least and personally 20 bikers that have been on my driveway uh who basically trespassed into the park went right by the signs and then were encouraged by the trail contractor and even the trail supervisor with East Bay Regional Park to come down the trail after they had trespassed. The Alameda County Sheriff's Department has been up there to deal try to deal with the issue. You can't really deal with it when a bicyclist comes up. I've confronted literally a dozen of them. And even the fact that they trespass, it doesn't seem to matter. And consequently, um, I bring that up as a major issue in terms of getting the park users from that parking lot over to the entrance and ensuring that they don't uh, basically practice uh, you know, very bad uh, uh, well, user manners. Uh, a few other issues and I'm happy to work with anyone. And I don't know if we have any representatives here from East Bay Regional Park, but I would be happy to work with them. I am in contact with the trail supervisor. Uh and hopefully uh that will be something in the future
