City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Project Response to Public Meeting Verbal Comments Final EIR 4-2 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 approach to the community or part of the old Lincoln Highway Bridge. Therefore, I'm in the strong support of the traffic light to be installed at Canyon Meadows in Dublin Canyon. This is a crucial piece of the Ponderosa proposal without which I would have a hard time lending support. Related, I'm in support of measures to make Dublin Canyon safer for pedestrians. Again, the bridge on the westbound approach to Canyon Meadows has a very narrow shoulder and which cars routinely cut as it's an apex to the bend in the road. This makes a walk to BART a perilous proposition or watching kids try to ride bicycles home from school. So, I had a clarifying question about pedestrian improvements. I believe I read that there is going to be some sidewalks and crosswalks in conjunction with the East Bay Regional Park . . . I also wanted clarification on the construction work is probably going to add a fair bit of traffic. So, I wanted some clarification on the timing for the um traffic signal. Will that be at the tail end of all the construction or ideally at the beginning of the construction? Response to GARDNER As noted on page 2-27 in Chapter 2, Project Description, of the Draft EIR, the proposed project would include the construction of a traffic signal at the Dublin Canyon Road and Canyon Meadows intersection. The proposed project would also include construction of 6-foot-wide bike lanes on both sides of Dublin Canyon Road along the project frontage, as well as a 5-foot-wide sidewalk or pathway on Dublin Canyon Road to the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) trailhead and staging area. As stated by the project applicant during the Planning Commission public meeting, the traffic signal would not be constructed first, due to construction vehicle access, economic, and permitting constraints. This comment is included in the administrative record and will be provided to the decision makers for review and consideration. The comment did not provide new, substantial evidence with respect to the disposition of significant environmental impacts evaluated in the Draft EIR. Therefore, no further response is required. Sarah Jane Hollister (HOLLISTER) Hi. Hello. I'm Sarah Jane Hollister. Welcome. I think I know some of you. I've been a resident of Pleasanton for over 55 years and have been a homeowner and have taught in Pleasanton also for 35 years. And uh when I was ready to downsize and retire, I thought Dublin Canyon Meadows would be the perfect place to retire and to downsize. And it's been wonderful development. But in the course of this time and I was involved in 2017 to 2019 also um traffic has gotten way more than what it was in 2017 and 2019 and um I am very concerned. It's difficult to see that map and to see where the stoplight is. And it the stoplight was important in 2017 and 2019, but it's even important now. Um, a few years ago, as a matter of fact, my immediate neighbor uh there's a curve where that bridge is and it doesn't give you enough visual sight. And of course now um Dublin Canyon Road I call 580 Annex because we have traffic during commute time constantly and you have to hold your breath leaving our complex and before somebody is majorly injured. I am happy to see this, but I'm. On the map, it's difficult to actually see where those stop lights are going to be, where the lefthand turn lane’s going to be. I don't even know where the equestrian buildings are going to be, where the parking for that is. It just seems like we're putting more and more on this road. And um maybe there's better plans than the one that's up here, but I would hope that the Planning Commission would look at all of that. We have 244 homes in Dublin Canyon Meadows. That's a lot of people exiting and entering there every day, as well as the church that's across the road. I think it's very
