Page 2 of <br />F <br />always intended. <br />We need circulation help now and Stoneridge Drive provides that. Stoneridge Drive benefits the majority of Pleasanton <br />residents and workers - it is not right to let one small neighborhood try to halt build out when thousands of Pleasanton <br />residents and workers who gavel between Pleasanton and Livermore each day can get where they need to faster. We need to <br />be looking at what is right for the overall good of the city and not just the downside to one neighborhood (when S E was <br />always in the general plan). <br />Improves air quality and Cot footprint as is reduces travel miles for the thousands of commuters who travel between <br />Pleasanton and Livermore and vice versa — the average trip can be reduced by 2-3 miles for many who commute from <br />Hacienda Business Park to mid/ South Livermore vs. the longer galley route. <br />Improves safety of rids who are traveling to schools near galley — there are 4 schools within about l mile of galley. By <br />having another circulation route, this reduces traffic in these very congested areas. <br />We need to follow through on commitments we have made to our residents and other cities for many years. As <br />promised, we should be building SIDE in concert with our related plans to build El Charro and Dublin Blvd over the next few <br />years. <br />Finally, extending SDE will not be used by the majority for cut through traffic. The majority of people using this road <br />will be residents workers corning to/from Livermore /Pleasanton and many are taking longer routes via galley today. This is <br />why this road was required prior to the Hacienda Business Parr ever being established. In a worst case, the maximum <br />number of cars that can use SHE to bypass the freeway is about 1,000 hour due to freeway on ramp monitoring 1,000 is <br />minimal compared to traffic levels our 4 lane arteries such as galley and Stoneridge were designed for). This is minimal <br />amount of cars for this roadway and will result in reduced congestion in many others areas of the city that these cams now use. <br />This roadway was designed for thousands of cars as others 4 lane roads are. <br />Thank you <br />Nancy Allen <br />2/33/2009 <br />
