Pleasanton Measure D Results

City of Pleasanton Measure D Results

With 100% of the results in for Measure D in Pleasanton, the NO vote won.
6,065 (54.3%) no votes to 5,104 (45.70) yes votes.

With such a small margin of victory, was this the right decision for Pleasanton? Oak Grove would have brought in a 500 acre park, money for the city and Pleasanton schools. Where will the Lins (landowners) go from here?

    I don’t know if that was the best economical decision for Pleasanton, but I can tell you that area was my playground as a kid and it would be sad if it was “paved” over for houses and future generations couldn’t experience exploring those hills. Though, there is a point where nostalgia ends and progress begins! :-)

    I am so sad as an environmentalist to see Measure D defeated. Pleasanton is currently being sued by the State’s Attorney General is a case that we look likely to lose. The point of the case would be to overturn Pleasanton’s housing cap. Measure D would have circumvented this lawsuit . The ridge would have been closed off to further development with JUST 98 homes, a new park (including the trails done for us) and money for our schools. The developer of Oak Grove was so anxious to work with the City that the 58 trees which would have been taken out for roads were to be replaced with 6 times that many. Instead, a few residents with a lot of money were able to derail this process and to their own shame. In the coming years look for a larger development without all the cool perks. We just blew a great opportunity.

    I like how they keep talking about “receiving money”. Have any of you figured out exactly how much? Try one million dollars. ONE million. Spread out over twenty years. TWENTY years.

    We could make that much on interest by reducing the mayor salary to where it belongs. Doh.

Got something to say?
