Anne Fox, Pleasanton
This week, my Pleasanton neighborhood is mourning the senseless death of our one of our neighbors, Mark Fiala, a respected realtor well-known in town, who was tragically struck down this week in the crosswalk on Stoneridge Drive at Newton Way in Pleasanton.
This happened a few months after the city manager Nelson Fialho chose to place an agenda item to raise the speed limit between Kamp Drive to Trevor Parkway from 35 mph to 40 mph on a consent calendar item, not a public hearing item, without informing elected officials that a previous city council had unanimously adopted ordinances, including Ordinance 1882, which made the stretch of road 35 mph. Furthermore, even though raising the speed limit near Mohr Elementary would affect the safety of students, elected school board members were kept in the dark.
