have anyone noticed all the circular skid marks at the intersection of Fallon and Gleason and also Gleason and Grafton. Are side shows coming to town? Wonder if these are patron of the lounge letting off steam after the club closes?

If you have ever been to Aura in P town you would know that the Pleasanton cops make their presence. They are constantly outside the club and anxiously waiting for the club to close to arrest DUI drivers. If I were in your shoes Id file a complaint with the Police dept and maybe that will get them away from their sleeping hole.

If you called the police 3 times and they didn’t show up, then you have a serious case for filing a complain to the city. They cannot simply ignore calls.

Why in the world would The City of Dublin allow a Lounge to be opened until 2 AM in a neighborhood where children live. It’s a shame that you want to collect on the tax revenue of an establishment like this, at the expense of sleepless nights of people who have to get up to go to work to pay the taxes on houses under water by over 30%. It’s great that the city of Dublin will have some low budget Lounge in it’s neighborhood. I hope it balances out the revenue of all the vacant, foreclosed homes, in the Toll Brothers Villas and Terraces. It’s great to see our tax dollars at work. I am so glad to see the highway patrol always out at 7 or 8 am in the morning at the 580 W bound onramp from Tassajara checking to give out tickets to the drivers riding solo in the commuter lane, but the Dublin police are nowhere to be found at 10 PM to 2 AM when the cars are pulling in and out of Grafton Station, drag racing up and down Dublin Boulevard. We live directly across the street from BWW and the Lounge and the thumping bass at 1 AM is ridiculous. You can feel the beat in your chest while you lay in bed trying to sleep. We call the police two to three times a night Tuesday thru Saturday to complain about the music, drag racing, and drunks wondering the Villas. My daughter has awoken more than once to tell me that there are monsters outside because of people being loud outside her window. The drunk idiots that flow out of these establishments driving over the 45 mph speed limit is going to end up getting someone killed. Just last week we had idiots in a truck pick up an empty Lowes shopping cart and race up and down Dublin Blvd with it in the bed of the truck…. They ripped through the entrance of the Villas whipped around the turnaround and sped out onto Dublin Blvd so fast that the shopping cart flew out the bed of the truck and almost hit the car behind them. The cart ended up in the middle of Dublin Boulevard. Funny how someone should mention that the establishment will be attracting upscale business clientele and another complains about the section 8 tenants at the other end of Dublin Boulevard. Regardless if you are Section 8 or the CEO of Enron. There are bad apples everywhere. I don’t want them across the street from where I live. You give anyone too many cocktails and they think it gives them the right to act stupid at the expense of my family and I getting sleep. Doesn’t make me feel so bad when I think about letting them foreclose on my house and getting my family the hell out of here. The police are a joke. They take forever to show up, and when they do,, they circle the parking lot and split. What’s even better…. I step out my balcony on a Thursday morning at 8 am and they are sitting in the Grafton Station parking lot. The drunk idiots are gone!!!! They are sleeping off their hangovers. Where are the police at midnight? Sleeping? Oh and I was told by the Police Department that the reason we can hear the music is because the Lounge opens the doors because it’s too hot inside the establishment. Great! I wonder what the maximum occupancy is over there. The taxi companies seem to be doing great business too. I’ve never seen so many cabs in Dublin. What’s coming next? Centerfold’s?

Hi Anonymous – you may want to share the noise problems with the City. I’d recommend giving Police Services a call and maybe the Planning Department at 925-833-6610 to let them know.

Thx, John Z.

When we bought our home and they explained the need for the sound glass, we anticipated street and traffic noise and I have no problem with that. Prior to these places opening up, most nights sleeping with the windows open were not a concern. I even have no issues with people being loud at 11 at night but when it is throughout the night between midnight and 2-3am, it’s getting to be too much and there is a reasonable expectation of some peace and quiet at those hours.

Regardless of anything else, there is no reason that people need to drive like idiots and do complete burnouts as they leave the parking lot and then go full throttle down the road, both unnecessary and dangerous. If this was a case of just one or two idiots doing it on a rare occasion then I probably wouldn’t be on here talking about it but it’s multiple idiots on a rather frequent and ongoing basis.

I do agree that if you can hear the music from your home that is a problem, but you also bought a home that faces dublin blvd. This is a street that has, or will have 6 lanes of traffic on it. The fact that you think you should have peace and quiet doesn’t add up. I think that it is important that when people buy a home they know what could be built around them, even if it is years from now.
