We <br />will attend tomorrow's hearing to team more details, hopefully including traffic analysis showing a better situation <br />than predicted for the recent Home Depot proposal. <br />We share the concems of the residents off of Valley Avenue, which will take the primary load for this housing <br />proposal. We share the often-stated concerns for the long delays at Valley/StanleylBemal, which largely consists <br />of Livermore-bound commuters cutting through Pleasanton. Please work more closely with otherjurisdictions on <br />these regional problems. Specifically, while Pleasanton and Livermore are carving up the sales tax and property <br />tax revenue from freeway commercial development at the North end of EI Chan'o Road, please commit to a plan <br />to extend EI Charro Road over Arroyo Del Valle at its South end. This will improve access to the Ruby Hill area <br />and move its commuters (and Livermore's) off of Santa Rita Road and Valley Avenue. <br />In addition to these concerns for the North side of Stanley, IeYs take a better look at the South side. We believe <br />the project will further increase traffic in front of our house on Bernal, as the Home Depot project would have <br />done. These are many other residences facing Bernal. The curtent bridge widening, if it does shorten any waiting <br />times, will also invite more traffic to use the Bemal loop and pass in front of these houses. But the bridge widening <br />may not decrease waits because of the narrowertwo-lane roads of Bemal and Vineyard. We would have <br />preferred to spend this money on an EI Charro bridge. <br />Thank you for reading this and for the hearing notice. <br />Kent H. Pryor <br />3425 Bernal Avenue <br />
