2026 PLEASANTON BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN | 21 <br />COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT <br />Engagement Activities <br />A variety of engagement methods were used to reach community members where they live, work, learn, and recreate. Multiple op- <br />portunities for participation were provided throughout the planning process to ensure residents could share their experiences, iden- <br />tify challenges, and help shape the Plan recommendations. The following sections summarize each engagement activity. <br />PROJECT WEBSITE <br />A dedicated project website served as the primary source of in- <br />formation throughout the planning process. The website provid- <br />ed project updates, meeting announcements, presentation mate- <br />rials, survey links, and opportunities to participate in upcoming <br />engagement activities. Community members could also access <br />project documents and learn about the planning process at their <br />convenience. The website was updated regularly as the project <br />progressed and served as a central hub for ongoing public en- <br />gagement. <br /> COMMUNITY MEETINGS <br />Two community meetings were held at key milestones during the <br />planning process. The first meeting focused on understanding <br />existing walking and bicycling conditions, identifying barriers, <br />and gathering ideas for improving active transportation through- <br />out Pleasanton. The second meeting presented the draft recom- <br />mendations and sought feedback on the proposed bicycle and <br />pedestrian improvements, project priorities, and implementation <br />approach. <br />The meetings provided opportunities for participants to engage <br />directly with the project team, review maps and exhibits, ask <br />questions, and discuss transportation needs with City staff. <br />POP-UP EVENTS <br />Four pop-up events were conducted at community gather- <br />ing places to engage residents and collect input from a broad <br />cross-section of the community. Two events were held at the <br />Pleasanton Farmers’ Market, one was conducted at the Down- <br />town Concert in the Park, and one was held at the City’s Earth <br />Day Celebration. <br />Interactive displays, large-format maps, and informational boards <br />encouraged participants to identify barriers, desired routes, loca- <br />tions where walking and bicycling could be improved, and project <br />priorities. Pop-up events also provided opportunities to promote <br />the online survey and project website.
