Pleasanton Businessman Makes City Council Endorsement

PLEASANTON — Letter to the Editor:

Dear Editor,

As a small business owner in Pleasanton, I am one of many who provide services and conveniences that make our City such a wonderful place to live. Working directly with them as clients also gives me a personal opportunity to hear what they are saying about the business climate in Pleasanton. And one of the key topics I hear about is traffic.

Traffic has a significant impact on many local businesses that make deliveries and service calls. Sitting in traffic costs small businesses time and money so we need City leaders able and willing to collaborate with regional partners to alleviate vehicle congestion.

Regional solutions include extending BART to Livermore since we know people are commuting to Pleasanton in order to park and then ride BART- which makes it a challenge for Pleasanton residents to find parking to do so themselves. We should also complete the widening of Highway 84 as soon as possible, and consider adding HOV lanes to 680 North to reduce the cut-through traffic.

Kathy Narum is already working on regional transportation matters and I believe she is the only candidate for City Council who can broker these types of deals. As the Past Chairman of the Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce, I know how important regional partnerships are and I think the Chamber made a smart choice in endorsing Kathy Narum. She has my vote!

Todd Moberg, President
