Vision for Pleasanton

Our Quality of Life

  • Our cultural life will blossom with the opening of the Alviso Adobe Community Park and the Firehouse Arts Center
  • We're improving traffic control with new signal timing, intersection upgrades, and regional freeway improvements
  • We are supporting our seniors by opening an assisted living facility, approving new senior housing, and improving existing facilities

Fiscal Responsibility

  • We kept our budget balanced and increased our reserves by $1.5 million last year
  • Our tax base is growing with expanding retail at Stoneridge Mall served by our new BART station
  • Our reserves are healthy with over $110 million in long term investments

Public Safety

  • Our fully staffed Police Department contributes to one of the lowest crime rates in the Bay Area
  • The Fire Department is also fully staffed and we opened a new award-winning fire station
  • We're helping build a regional system for first responders to communicate with each other

Parks & Open Space

  • We've broken ground on Bernal Community Park with ballfields scheduled to open next summer
  • The Iron Horse Trail extension has opened in Pleasanton and more segments are planned
