Letter To The Editor: Karla Brown Prioritizes The Environment

A letter to the editor from Kunal Khaware:

My name is Kunal Khaware and I am writing to discuss Karla Brown’s compassion to
help Pleasanton residents. Throughout these past months, it came to light that a new parking is
being considered to replace the lush grass at Bicentennial park. This park is often used for
T-Ball, soccer, picnicking and more by local residents. The proposed parking lot would also
require the removal of numerous heritage trees including a stately redwood tree - all to construct
a parking lot! As a Sierra Club member and local activist, I contacted Karla Brown directly to
inform her of this situation and the growing grassroots mobilization of the neighboring residents
to the park. She immediately responded and established a dialogue with the Parks and Recreation
and the City Manager to raise awareness, arriving at a conclusion to delay the project. This
would allow for robust community engagement. Karla is endorsed by the Sierra Club, and her
environmentalist values are seen in her actions. Within Pleasanton, she exemplifies true
leadership without partisan politics and she is running a clean money campaign. I fully endorse
Karla and her bold leadership which is needed here in the Tri-Valley.
