Agree. Camp park area is the best place for a downtown. It is right at the center of Dublin and close to BART station and apartment buildings.

As someone new to Dublin, I have driven around to the area marked for downtown, and frankly, I prefer to avoid it. To us it only signifies the old/undesirable area of Dublin, and I agree with KR that Hacienda area gives the feeling of the heart of Dublin where one could go and park and walk around. Its not very very walkable, I agree; But at the same time I am also wondering that why do we really need a downtown in Dublin, when one did not naturally take shape. Especially if the area being considered now is NOT where action is. If I want to settle down in Dublin today, I will be looking at the east/new Dublin, and that is where I would like to slow down and enjoy my time. Not in some noisy area with 70 year old structures.
I have read ideas around using a part of the Camp (military training area) as where potentially a new downtown could take shape. That sounds more convincing, for sure.

I’d als love to see a Bicycle Master Plan!
My family bikes quite a bit in Dublin/Pleasanton/San Ramon – using any trails available.

Hi Anonymous – that is an excellent idea. I know that the City of Pleasanton has been very active in soliciting input from residents on their Bicycle Master Plan. We can check to see where we are in Dublin on our Plan.

Thx, John Z.

It’s a about time. I have been a Tri-Valley resident for 18 years and we spoke about a downtown for @ least 15 years.

All I have seen is home development in Dublin and very little commercial. And yes downtown needs to be in the West and walkable.

John Z this reminds me of something, a new topic for your blog could be to profile the Bicycle Master Plan. One of the best ways to reduce traffic and foreign oil is to ride a bike (like me).
