4 Info Pleasanton 2009-10

For many people, the word “leadership” connotes numbers. Numbers such as the number of listings and sales. Or high dollar values. At Alain Pinel Realtors, we think there are also other qualities that distinguish a leader.

One is affiliation. Leaders lead because their employees, clients, and industry colleagues repeatedly and successfully do business together. Affiliation is why APR is the most respected purveyor of premier residential real estate in the Bay Area and why we continue to seek exceptional people to join us at the forefront of our industry. Another quality is business acumen. No other firm’s agents match our Realtors’ skill and success rates. Leaders are also responsive—to clients, industry shifts, and new opportunities. We equip our Realtors with leading-edge technical capabilities so that they have an edge on competitors.

If you are looking to expand and enrich your real estate career, look to the forefront.

Welcome to InfoPleasanton for 2009-10, a complete local resource guide for our community. With 54 pages of information, including colorful maps, photos and advertisements, this comprehensive directory points the way to the services, facili-ties and amenities that make Pleasanton a great place to live, work, shop and dine. We’ve even included a map of regional wineries for those leisurely trips away from home and work that don’t take a tank of gasoline to have fun in our own spectacular wine country.

Here in Pleasanton, we have completed millions of dollars in municipally-fi-nanced projects that have included a fire station on Bernal Avenue that is partly solar-powered, downtown restrooms in Delucchi Park, the restoration of Kot-tinger Creek with new footpaths and pedestrian bridges, and the realignment of Vineyard Avenue from Montevino to the city’s eastern border at Isabel Avenue (Route 84).

Last October, the city dedicated its $3.3-million Alviso Adobe Community Park on Foothill Road, a 7-acre hilltop parcel that features the restored adobe built by Francisco Alviso in the 1850s, as well as a replica of a dairy barn that is being used as an interpretive center. The park showcases three eras of the location’s history: the Native American period, the Californio period, and the dairy period.

Then in September, the city opened its new lighted baseball fields in Bernal Community Park (above), located on a 318-acre field on Bernal Avenue across from the fairgrounds that will eventually be Pleasanton’s largest park. The $8-mil-lion project, which includes two lighted baseball fields with bleachers and a day-light practice field, is the first of a number of new sports fields planned on Ber-nal.

There’s more to come. The $10-million Firehouse Arts Center on Railroad Av-enue is slated to open next spring, bringing an economic catalyst to the down-town area. A new BART station for West Pleasanton/Dublin could be completed in 2010, with new parking, retail centers and housing planned on both sides of the tracks to follow.

Inside, you’ll also find a list of more community and neighborhood parks for sports and family fun and where you can walk the dog. Included is our guide for sports enthusiasts of the clubs and teams the kids can join, from Little League baseball to the Ballistic United Soccer Club leagues for boys and Pleasanton Rage teams for girls that make Pleasanton “Soccer City USA.”

Whether you’re new in town or seasoned dwellers, we think you’ll find this new InfoPleasanton a handy directory for everything you want to know about our community—a ready reference guide that will be useful for months to come.
