Measure P (Pleasanton Bernal Park Phase 2): Yes

  • MEASURE P: Bernal Property Phase II Land Use Plan -- City of Pleasanton (Initiative Ordinance)
    City of Pleasanton Bernal Property Phase II Land Use Plan Initiative Ordinance. Shall the Bernal Property Phase II Land Use Plan, comprised of the "grand park" design concept, as adopted by the City Council, be ratified?

"Today, as a conceptual plan for Bernal moves forward, only one use has been approved by the council: three baseball fields in what will be a 10-field sports park on the eastern edge of the site near the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. Work on those fields, two to be lighted for league play and one designated as a practice field, will begin this fall with the first games likely to be played late next year.

'I call it an illustrative plan,' said consultant Wayne Rasmussen, who is a former principal planner for Pleasanton. Pointing to different sectors of the plan, he showed sites designated for a cultural arts center, community center, teen center, 4-H club demonstration farm, wetlands,
meadows and picnic grounds."
