- Advocacy for Youth and Children, Transportation and Traffic, Water Resources & Conservation
-
For the safety of children, background screenings of all coaches and volunteers spending one on one time with children should be required. Childcare facility guidelines need to be adopted to provide standards for childcare operators. To conserve water resources, Pleasanton needs to begin the usage of recycled water. To reduce traffic on Valley Avenue and Santa Rita Road, Wheels Bus RAPID Transit from Livermore to the Dublin BART station will begin in 2009.
- Housing
-
Pleasanton's Housing Cap has been challenged in the courts. Defending our housing cap is important as City infrastructure, streets, schools, public services etc. have been planned using the established 29,000 housing units. Planning where remaining housing units will be developed and what type of housing is needed in the community will be crucial with each development approval.
- Hillside Protection and Initiatives PP & QQ and the Voter Approved Housing Cap
-
Measure PP, the Citizen's Save Pleasanton's Hills & Housing Cap Initiative protects our ridge lands and our voter approved Housing Cap. Measure QQ was placed on the ballot to defeat Measure PP. Measure QQ includes a POISON PILL clause that nullifies Measure PP even if PP passes by a majority of the voters. To Protect Pleasanton's Hills and Housing Cap Vote YES on Measure PP and NO on Measure QQ.
