Cameron Avenue is already used as a main route for cars, service <br />vehicles and periodic bus service into the Mohr-Martin area during the peak <br />travel hours before and after school as well as during the evening commute <br />hours. <br /> <br />The homeowners along Cameron feel they will be the most significantly and <br />negatively impacted by the development as it is currently designed for many <br />reasons. They have been asked to give up property and existing brick structures <br />and landscaping for a proposed sidewalk along the north side of Cameron if the <br />development proceeds as designed. They were not given the opportunity to <br />benefit from ten extra feet deeded to their property that was offered by <br />Ponderosa to the Palmer residents along western side of the Lehman property. <br />(This tactic or "bribe" has been used by Ponderosa in the past in the Charter <br />Oaks development where extra property was given to a few homeowners to <br />ensure neighborhood approval of the Busch development from those who live <br />along the western perimeter of the property). The deeding of an extra ten feet <br />also increases division among neighbors and pits neighbors against one another <br />instead of working together to collaborate for the good of the entire area. <br />Residents along Cameron Avenue additionally have to endure the brunt of the <br />disruption to the Lehman Property which is now a walnut orchard and the large <br />equipment traveling up and down their street during the construction phase of <br />the development. They will have to endure the radical change to their street, the <br />landscaping, views as well as the increased cars that are added by the <br />development once it is completed. <br /> <br />Pleasanton is a city that promotes and plans wonderful bike and pedestrian <br />pathways through our town designed to encourage people to get out of their cars <br />and enjoy the opportunity to use alternative means of transportation. The <br />proposed road and lot designs within Ponderosa's Lehman-Selway property will <br />increase the number of cars coming onto Cameron Avenue and surrounding <br />street forcing neighbors who now walk or bike on these routes to schools, to <br />
