Save Doolan Canyon
Dear City Councilmember:
The preservation of natural land and open space is important, because they:
- ensure healthy ecosystems;
- encourage active living;
- build community;
- provide sustainable economic opportunities; and
- safeguard our quality of air, water, and life.
Pacific Union Homes is currently proposing to build 1,990 homes, dozens of other buildings, and a network of roads on 1,450 acres in Doolan Canyon. The site is immediately adjacent to the Doolan Canyon-Tassajara Hills Regional Preserve, which is owned by the East Bay Regional Park District. Expansion beyond Livermore’s Urban Growth Boundary and the boundaries of the unfinished Eastern Dublin Specific Plan not only threatens the stunning beauty of Doolan Canyon but also poses a significant danger to the unspoiled majesty of North Livermore Valley.
Greenbelt Alliance, Save Mount Diablo, Sierra Club, Tri-Valley Conservancy, Friends of the Vineyards, and Friends of Livermore stand firmly united in their desire to keep Doolan Canyon in its pristine and rural state. As a resident of the Tri-Valley, I worry about the irrevocable harm the proposed residential development will do to the gorgeous Doolan Canyon and the negative environmental impact it will have on the surrounding areas. I want to protect our precious natural resources and preserve the quality of life we have long enjoyed. For the sake of our future generations, please stop runaway sprawl into the greenbelt territories and save Doolan Canyon. Thank you.
