Pleasanton - Pleasanton

Centar Pleasantona
Za grad u Teksasu vidi Pleasanton (Teksas).

Pleasanton je grad u Županija Alameda, u Istočni zaljev od Područje zaljeva San Francisco. Jedan je od najbogatijih gradova te vrste, s mnogo otmjenih restorana i povijesnih četvrti. Zbog sredozemne klime na ovom području vinogradi se mogu naći na selu, zajedno s brežuljcima prekrivenim hrastovim drvećem, vrućim ljetnim vremenima i prilično blagim zimskim vremenima.

Shvati

Pleasanton se uvelike promijenio krajem 20. i početkom 21. stoljeća, ali uspio je zadržati izgled kaubojskog grada. Prometne gradske ulice, koje su često obrubljene drvećem, dobro su dizajnirane i, posebno na sjeveru grada, zauzimaju ukupno šest traka; ipak postoje druge, u blizini, a ipak manje ulice, koje su ostale iznenađujuće tihe unatoč povećanju broja stanovnika i napretku. Međutim, uistinu neobičan, premda prilično neobičan aspekt Pleasantona jest taj da, unatoč zgradama koje izgledaju kao da su izašle ravno iz vesterna, mjesto Pleasantona u blizini Silicijske doline daje mu kozmopolitski osjećaj: restorani s meksičkim, talijanskim, turskim, Azijska i američka kuhinja nalaze se na udaljenosti od jedne milje.

Ime

Pleasanton je osnovan kao "Alisal". Grad je trebao biti pridružen Pleasontonu, prema imenu vojne osobe u Uniji. Međutim, kako su razni gradovi jasno dali do znanja da se žele zvati Pleasonton (kao npr Pleasanton u Teksas), američka je vlada pogriješila u pravopisu i sve ih nazvala "Pleasanton", ime koje ostaje i danas. Mnogi mještani pretpostavljaju da je to portret riječi "ugodan" i "grad".

Povijest

Pleasanton se dramatično promijenio tijekom godina; povijesno je bio grub grad u koji su dolazili razbojnici, ali ipak je Pleasanton jedan od najbogatijih gradova u zemlji. Područje se počelo razvijati 1840-ih, a osnovano je 1850.

Neke gradske ulice, poput Kottingera, nazvane su po ranim zemljoposjednicima u gradu. Imenovanje ulica prema vlasnicima zemljišta iznenađujuće je uobičajeno u Pleasantonu, a takvi se postupci imenovanja događaju i u novijim stambenim zbivanjima.

Grad je postao važniji u Kaliforniji tijekom 1910-ih, kada se pojavio kao jedno od glavnih kalifornijskih središta za snimanje, pomalo poput Holivudski danas. Rebecca s farme Sunnybrookna primjer, snimljen je 1917. u Pleasantonu. Međutim, stanovništvo Pleasantona počelo je odmicati 1960-ih, a stanovništvo se više nego utrostručilo na 18 000 u 1970. Populacija je od tada narasla na približno 80 000.

Pleasanton ima veliku povijesnu četvrt s centrom grada, zajedno s nekim povijesnim kućama i 1 povijesna crkvena zgrada između Prve i Treće ulice. Naročito se oko Prve i Druge ulice nalaze neke dobro održavane kuće, od kojih je nekoliko iz 19. stoljeća, a neke su i u viktorijanskom stilu.

Mjesto

Pleasanton je zapadno od Livermorea i južno od Dublina u zaljevu u Kaliforniji. Kad je cestovni promet dobar, Pleasanton je udaljen oko jedan sat San Francisco, 30-35 minuta od Oakland, i dva sata od glavnog grada države, Sacramento. Okružen je planinama, uključujući Planina Diablo na sjever. (Planina Diablo nadvija se nad regijom i ostalim planinama.) Veliki dijelovi planine Diablo Raspon Diablo, koji prolazi kroz područje Pleasantona, zaštićeni su kao Regionalni park Park East Bay.

Grad je prilično blizu Okrugu Santa Clara, područje dobro poznato po tehnologiji. Neki Pleasantonci putuju na područja u Južnom zaljevu i na Poluotok, dok drugi žive i rade u Tri-Valleyu.

Dodaci vinograda u blizini Livermore

Pleasanton je također udaljen samo nekoliko sati od Vinska zemlja doline Napa. Stoga dijelovi grada i obližnji Livermore imaju nekoliko četvornih kilometara vinograda, posebno na jugoistoku. Ljetnikovci i vinarije raštrkani su po ovoj regiji. Pleasanton je dobra baza za turiste, jer se nalazi između nekoliko važnih regija Kalifornije, a turisti će mu naći pristojno mjesto za skakanje s obale, San Francisco područje, Silicijska dolina, Središnja dolina, i Napa/Sonoma regija.

narod

Pleasanton je pomalo raznolik grad. Iako su dvije trećine stanovništva bijelci, više od dvadeset posto Pleasantonaca su Azijati. Otprilike deset posto stanovništva su hispanoamerikanci. Za razliku od mnogih raznolikih gradova, međutim, ne postoje određene kulturne zajednice. Umjesto toga, većina gradskog stanovništva stapa se, a ljude brojnih nacionalnosti naći ćete u uskom društvu.

Prema Wikipediji, bijelci koji nisu hispanoamerikanci čine oko tri petine stanovništva, Azijci koji nisu Latinoamerikanci čine 23% stanovništva, a oni koji sebe smatraju hispanoamerikancima čine oko jedne desetine stanovništva. Za razliku od mnogih drugih gradova na području zaljeva, afroameričko je stanovništvo malo, što čini manje od 2% stanovništva.

Osim umirovljeničkih zajednica poput 1 Potok Stoneridge, Pleasanton ima mlado stanovništvo. Zbog visokih troškova života i blizine posla u Silicijskoj dolini, mnogi koji se povuku na kraju se sele na jeftinija mjesta u drugim dijelovima SAD-a.

Klima Pleasantona je Mediteran, ali nije daleko od pustinjske klime, posebno kada se dogodi suša. Padavina može biti više od 20 inča (510 mm) godišnje u vlažnim godinama, ali u sušnim godinama samo nekoliko centimetara. Većina kiše se javlja tijekom zimskih mjeseci. Stoga se Pleasanton mora u velikoj mjeri osloniti na navodnjavanje kako bi drveće i vrtovi ostali živi, ​​a u modernom stambenom razvoju, posebno s početkom suše tijekom 2010-ih, uloženi su napori kako bi se potaknula upotreba "otpornih na sušu" - što ne zahtijeva navodnjavanje - biljke umjesto travnjaka.

Klima Pleasantona uvelike varira ovisno o godini. Primjerice, 2013. - 2015. doživio je kalifornijske ekstremne uvjete suše, a lokalni su rezervoari gotovo u potpunosti presušili. Međutim, zimi 2016-2017, rezervoari su se napunili i Jezero Oroville stotinjak kilometara sjeveroistočno, rezervoar se izlio na hitni izliv, koji se potom razbio. U osnovi, međutim, nekoliko se aspekata Pleasantonove klime dobro zadržava tijekom svake godine: 1) temperatura gotovo uvijek ima značajne razlike između dana i noći, što vrijeme čini umjereno ugodnim barem tijekom nekog doba dana; i 2) postoji čista vlažna sezona (otprilike studeni ili prosinac u bilo koje vrijeme između veljače i travnja) i sušna sezona (ostatak godine), ali ne i jasno definirano proljeće ili jesen.

Ljeti temperature mogu prijeći 110 ° F (43 ° C), ali zimi mogu pasti ispod nule. Najbolji mjeseci za posjetiti su travanj, svibanj i listopad, kada su temperature razumne i gotovo da nema kiše.

Lipanj može biti vrući mjesec nego što se obično očekivalo. Lipanj je drugi najviši mjesec za rekordne temperature u Pleasantonu, iza rujna. Srpanj i kolovoz postaju umjereno vrući gotovo svakog dana u Pleasantonu, ali ne dosežu često iste rekordno visoke temperature kao što su dosegnute u lipnju i rujnu.

Najviša temperatura koju je Pleasanton ikad službeno dosegnuo je vruća 46 ° C (115 ° F), iako na istoku grada, gdje su temperature uglavnom najekstremnije zbog veće udaljenosti od Tihog oceana, može se izjednačiti vruće.

Jednostavan način da se prisjete klime za one koji je nisu upoznati je "30-60-90", poznati pravokutni trokut. Temperature zimi obično su u rasponu od 30 ° F (-1 ° C) do 60 ° F (16 ° C), dok su ljeti temperature obično od 32 ° F (16 ° C) do 90 ° F C) domet. 16 ° C (60 ° F) temperatura je koju dijele i ljeto i zima. Međutim, ovo memorijsko pomagalo ne uzima u obzir valove vrućine. Međutim, ono što pokazuje je da Pleasanton prima konstantno vrijeme tijekom zime, a prosječni najviši i najniži pad tijekom zimskih mjeseci usko se podudara s tipičnim vremenom koje se doživljava u gradu.

Informacije o posjetiteljima

Za informacije o posjetiteljima idite na 2 Biblioteka Pleasanton. Smještena u blizini Stare avenije Bernal, knjižnica ima glavni informativni pult na kojem odgovaraju na pitanja. Također se može posjetiti obližnja 3 Zgrada građanskog centra za informacije o gradu. Međutim, ove će se zgrade na kraju preseliti u novo građansko središte, koje će biti na aveniji Pleasanton. Prema gradskim planovima, kompleks gradskog centra bit će spojen u jednu glavnu zgradu u blizini Parka zajednice Bernal (koja će biti bliža I-680).

Brojne knjižare i druge trgovine oko Pleasantona prodaju knjigu povijesti Pleasantona koja detaljno prolazi kroz povijest grada.

Uđi

Avionom

Iako postoji regionalna zračna luka u Livermoreu, najbolje zračne luke unutar dometa Pleasantona su u San Franciscu, Oaklandu i San Joseu. Te bi zračne luke trebale biti udaljene manje od dva sata vožnje od Pleasantona kada je promet dobar.

Zračna luka San Francisco

Međunarodna zračna luka San Francisco (SFO) je najveća od ovih zračnih luka. Međutim, iz San Francisca mora se doći do Pleasantona - to radeći automobilom uključuje nekoliko prometnih autocesta s brojnim složenim raskrižjima, što može biti izazov za one koji prije nisu bili na tom području. Alternativno, SFO ima BART stanicu.

Zračna luka Oakland

Zračna luka Oakland (HRAST IATA) je manja zračna luka u Oaklandu u Kaliforniji, znatno bliža Pleasantonu. Zračnu luku s BART-om povezuje osoba za kretanje ljudima, a ima i brzu cestu koja je povezuje s ostatkom područja. Petlja u zračnoj luci također olakšava ulazak i izlazak automobilom. Jednom kad krenete na I-580 istok, doći ćete do Pleasantona prilično je jednostavno, sve dok ste upoznati s autocestama u SAD-u

Zračna luka San Jose

Zračna luka San Jose (SJC IATA) je sada glavna zračna luka. Međutim, ako se vozite sjeverno od San Josea do Tri-Valley-a, tijekom popodneva I-680 (autocesta koja povezuje San Jose s Pleasantonom i Concordom) može potrajati satima vožnje prema sjeveru. Najgori dio započinje oko ceste Scott Creek u Fremont područje i završava autocestom CA-84 skretanjem južno od Pleasantona.

Slika I-580 u blizini Dolina Castro

Automobilom

Automobil je, uglavnom, najbolji način putovanja za ulazak u Pleasanton.

Autoceste

U Pleasantonu postoje dvije autoceste: I-580 (sjeverna strana) i I-680 (zapadna strana) i jedna brza cesta, CA-84 (jugoistočna i istočna strana). Međutim, I-580 i I-680 mogu biti užasno zauzeti. Na primjer, vožnja I-680 od San Jose do Pleasantona, što bi trebalo trajati samo četrdesetak minuta, može potrajati i više od sat vremena. Obje autoceste i CA-84 imaju strme uspone; I-680 i I-580 su pomalo uvijeni u brdima, ne pomažući prometnim problemima.

CA-84 je kalifornijska autocesta koja tek izlazi iz godina cestovnih radova. Veći dio poteza CA-84 od raskrižja s I-680 južno od Pleasantona do križanja s I-580 u Livermoreu nadograđen je s ceste s dva traka na brzu cestu s četiri trake. CA-84 slijedi Vallecitos "Put" od I-680, blizu Sunol, kroz brda sjeveroistočno do istočne granice Pleasantona i Livermorea. CA-84 susreće se s cestama Pleasanton na spojevima s Vineyard Avenue, Stanley Boulevard i Jack London Boulevard (istočni dio Stoneridge Drivea).

Ostale ceste

Približavanje s istoka: nekoliko cesta povezuje Tracy s Livermoreom; ako idete zapadno od Tracyja, prolazite pokraj Livermorea na putu za Pleasanton. Tu se ubrajaju I-580, Tesla Road (J2), Altamont Pass Road i Patterson Pass Road. Međutim, Tesla Road, Altamont Pass Road i Patterson Pass Road su uske i mjestimično uvijene.

BART-ov vlak

Približavajući se s jugozapada: jugozapadno od Pleasantona, lijepa cesta nazvana Niles Canyon Road (zapadni dio CA-84) povezuje Fremont područje sa Sunol, grad na jugozapadu Pleasantona. Iz Sunola možete ići Foothill Roadom, Pleasanton-Sunol Road, I-680 ili CA-84 da biste došli do Pleasantona.

Približavanje sa sjevera: nekoliko cesta u Dublinu, gradu sjeverno od Pleasantona, nastavlja se u Pleasanton pod drugim imenima: Dougherty Road postaje Hopyard Road, Tassajara Road postaje Santa Rita Road, San Ramon Road postaje Foothill Road, Fallon Road postaje El Charro Road, a cesta Hacienda prelazi I-580. I-680 ide od Dublina, San Ramona i raznih gradova sjeverno od Pleasantona do Pleasantona (i naravno zatim nastavlja prema jugu do Silicijske doline).

Biciklom

Zbog brdovitog terena, većina cesta prema Pleasantonu ili je preuska za biciklističke staze ili je autocesta, tako da nema puno dobrih prilika za vožnju biciklom do Pleasantona. Najbolje ceste s biciklističkim trakama su Pleasanton-Sunol Road na jugu i Vineyard Avenue na istoku. Vožnja biciklom u Pleasantonu primjerenija je kao rekreativna aktivnost.

Napisao BART

Karta BART-ovih ruta, uključujući do Pleasantona

The 1 Dublin / Pleasanton Dublin/Pleasanton station on Wikipedia i 2 Zapadni Dublin / Pleasanton West Dublin/Pleasanton station on Wikipedia BART stanice nude rute do Oakland pa nadalje do San Francisco i Međunarodna zračna luka San Francisco. Stanica Dublin / Pleasanton ima autobusnu vezu do centra Pleasantona (vidi #Autobusom).

BART-ovi vlakovi prilično su brzi (oko 50 km / h), slično brzini automobila kada je promet dobar. Kao što vidite na karti, većina BART-ovih vlakova ide za San Francisco i Oakland. Linija Dublin / Pleasanton na kraju se povezuje s linijama Fremont, prolazi kroz Oakland, ispod zaljeva San Francisco, kroz San Francisco i završava u Millbrae. Postoje brojne stanice, gdje će se vlak svaki put zaustaviti na nekoliko minuta. Zatim se nastavlja nekoliko minuta i ponovno zaustavlja.

Bilo je zločina povezanih s BART-om, zato uvijek budite oprezni dok vozite BART da biste znali gdje su vaše stvari i budite sigurni da ih nitko ne može džeparoširati.

Vlakom

The Altamont koridor Express (ACE) je željeznička usluga koja ide od Pleasantona do mjesta u blizini, uključujući Stockton i San Jose. Vozi se samo 4 puta dnevno u svakom smjeru - prema jugu ujutro i prema sjeveru popodne - i zaustavlja se u 3 Kolodvor Pleasanton Pleasanton station on Wikipedia u centru grada.

Autobusom

Tu su povezani lokalni autobusi. Na primjer, autobus 10R vozi od stanice Dublin / Pleasanton BART do centra grada Pleasanton (nastavljajući do Livermore) s 15-minutnom frekvencijom tijekom dana.

Zaobiđi se

Gradom je prilično lako upravljati; ceste su postavljene u logičnim obrascima s vrlo direktnim raskrižjima, za razliku od Livermorea.

Pješice

Downtown

Pleasanton ima povijesnu gradsku četvrt koja se može hodati. Središte centra grada je Glavna ulica, od avenije Bernal na jugu (usidrena od gradske vijećnice na starom Bernalu) do Arroyo del Valle na sjeveru. (Plan centra grada izložen je na Web stranica Pleasanton Downtown Plan[mrtva veza].) Udruga Pleasanton Downtown pruža upute o tome kako doći do centra grada s raznih mjesta. Povijesna stambena četvrt također ima vrlo prohodne ulice, iako u ovom dijelu grada postoje strma brda.

Sjeverni Pleasanton

Sjeverni Pleasanton nekada je bio močvara, pa su, kad se to područje razvilo, iskopani kanali. Uz kanale su 4 staze za bicikliste i šetače. Međutim, mnoge su se obale kanala srušile tijekom kišne sezone 2016.-2017., A održavanje i zatvaranje nastavlja se do 2017. Šuška se da dio zemljišta u ovoj regiji tone; razvoj se, međutim, nastavio.

Kada putujete pješice, staze koje treba izbjegavati su one u blizini I-680, jer zasigurno nisu mirne.

Ostala navigacija

Osim 5 Staza željeznog konja i ostalim gore spomenutim stazama, otežana je pješačka navigacija izvan centra grada. Pleasanton je širok miljama i miljama od sjevera prema jugu, pa će vam trebati sati da stignete od poslovnog parka Hacienda do samog centra grada. Iako su nogostupi uz ceste oko Pleasantona, malo ljudi hoda njima, osim školske djece.

Automobilom

Vožnja je u Pleasantonu relativno lagana i općenito ima dovoljno parkirališta za sve (premda ponekad u centru grada to nije slučaj. Na primjer, tijekom sajma okruga Alameda). I-680 prelazi zapadnu stranu urbanog područja s tri izlaza (Bulevar Sunol, Avenija Bernal i Stoneridge Drive), a I-580 definira sjevernu granicu Grada Pleasantona s četiri izlaza (Hopyard Road, Hacienda Drive, Santa Rita Cesta i cesta El Charro). Ako putujete na jug cestom Santa Rita, dalje od I-580 prema centru Pleasantona, cesta skreće u Glavnu ulicu koja označava ulaz u centar grada. Idući prema jugu Hopyard Roadom, na kraju se sužava i prelazi u Street Division, koja postaje Street Saint Mary, koja završava u Main Streetu u centru grada.

Pleasanton, posebno od stvaranja poslovnog parka Hacienda, ima brojne široke ceste (na sjeveru) kojima je vrlo lako voziti.

Parkiralište

Parkirališta su prostrana, posebno u trgovačkim centrima, zbog ravnijeg tla i puno dodatnog prostora. Međutim, parkiranje u centru grada je nezgodno, posebno uz Glavnu ulicu. Tijekom ljetnog sajma okruga Alameda, parkiranje u centru grada može biti gotovo nemoguće.

Ne pokušavajte parkirati izravno na Glavnoj ulici ili Prvoj ulici tijekom dana, jer su te ceste uske i prometne, što parkiranje čini izazovnim uz njih. Površinske ulice s jednostavnim parkiranjem često su samo na maloj udaljenosti od prometnih, zakrčenih cesta. Glavna ulica i općenito centar mogu biti katastrofalni za parkiranje tijekom događaja, a tijekom sajma okruga Alameda ljudi parkiraju u centru kako bi izbjegli naplatu parkiranja na sajmištu. Parkiranje također može biti problem, posebno u manjim ulicama, tijekom jeseni, kada opalo lišće prekriva parkirna mjesta i drveće. svojim lišćem, pokrivaju rasvjetu i natpise.

Općenito, parkiralište u regiji Hacienda Business Park nalazi se unutar trgovačkih centara ili u blizini poslovnih jedinica. Na ovom su području velika parkirališta, s više mjesta nego što ima automobila.

I-580 podijeljen je linijom BART koja prolazi kroz sredinu

Vožnja

Glavne ceste u Pleasantonu uključuju (ove ceste su dvije trake sa svake strane, barem na njihovoj najširoj točki):

  • Cesta Santa Rita: ide od I-580 prema jugu do centra Pleasantona, postaje Glavna ulica na južnom kraju.
  • Hopyard Road: vozi ponešto paralelno s cestom Santa Rita i (ide prema jugu) na kraju postaje Division Street i vodi u centar Pleasantona.
  • Stanley Boulevard, Prva ulica, i Bulevar Sunol: tri naziva za različite dijelove iste ceste. Bulevar Sunol ide od I-680 sjeveroistočno do centra grada, First Street prelazi centar grada, a Stanley Boulevard ide na istok, pored Sjene litica i kamenoloma do Livermore.

Ostale ceste koje treba znati:

  • Glavna ulica: usporen put, bolji za pješake nego za automobile
  • Prva ulica: vidi Stanley Boulevard
  • Put Pleasanton-Sunol: povezuje Pleasanton u blizini Bulevara Sunol i centra Sunola

Autobusom

Nekoliko tranzitnih tvrtki opslužuje područje Pleasantona. Glavni autobusni prijevoznik je KOTAČI, koji ide do Dublin i Livermore, kao i BART stanice. County Connection ima nekoliko autobusa u Pleasantonu. Postoji i usluga obrnutog vrha od Pleasantona do Modesto, putovanje u Modesto ujutro i povratak na postaju Dublin / Pleasanton Bart u popodnevnim satima; cijena karte je 11 USD u jednom smjeru ili 13 USD u jednom smjeru (mora biti istog dana).

Biciklom

Grad ima dobru biciklističku mrežu. Nekoliko staza za šetače i bicikliste nalazi se uz kanale na sjeverozapadu grada. Radilo se na stvaranju biciklističke mreže u centru grada, ali do sada nije uspjelo jer su ceste uglavnom prezauzete za bicikliste. Uz kazalište Firehouse nalaze se stalci za bicikle.

U planu je i povezivanje biciklističkih mreža Pleasanton i Livermore, budući da Livermore također ima dobru biciklističku mrežu. Od 2018. godine asfaltirana staza gradi se duž East Vineyard Avenue u Livermoreu, odakle zemljana staza prolazi paralelno sa zapadnom Vineyard Avenue u Pleasanton.

Pregled

Centar Pleasantona

Pleasanton ima brojne povijesne znamenitosti u središtu grada. Općenito su u dva dijela: komercijalni dio uz glavnu ulicu i stambeni dio uz prvu i drugu ulicu.

The trgovačka četvrt u Glavnoj ulici dugačak je oko pola milje. Ovaj kvart u središtu grada usredotočen je na križanje Angele i Glavne ulice, u blizini Farmerove tržnice. Međutim, proteže se i prema sjeveru od ovog raskrižja, uključujući glavno križanje gdje se susreću Ray Street, St. John Street i Main Street (na ovom raskrižju su restoran Oasis i hotel Rose). Pješaci su često viđeni u šetnji ovim dijelom centra grada, često prije ili nakon obroka u restoranu.

The stambena četvrt, jugoistočno od Glavne ulice, nije dugačka kao Glavna ulica, ali ima neke povijesne kuće. Ako idete jugoistočno od Glavne ulice, Prva ulica označava prijelaz iz komercijalne u stambenu, koja je i dalje povijesna u Drugu ulicu i dalje u Treću ulicu. Nakon ovog trenutka kuće su novije gradnje, iako su neke od njih prilično atraktivne, čak i u ovom dijelu grada.

Značajne su i druge atrakcije, poput Kottingerove staje i Muzeja na Majni. To su povijesne građevine koje su u međuvremenu pretvorene u nešto što nisu bile. Na primjer, Vatrogasni centar za umjetnost bio je zgrada vatrogasca prije nego što je 2000. pretvoren u kazalište i umjetničku galeriju.

Područja zemlje

Dok se projekt civilnog centra ne dovrši, bit će malo (lijepih) parkova i vrtova oko centra Pleasantona. Stoga ćete htjeti izaći u zemlju kako biste vidjeli floru i faunu.

Grupe kao što je East Bay Parks District su kupile značajni dijelovi zemlje u Istočnom zaljevu, koji su sada otvoreni za javnost. Ti parkovi daju strancima i stanovnicima grada ideju o tome kako je nekada izgledalo područje Pleasantona prije novijih događaja. Parkove karakterizira ranč zemlja; danas nećete naći mnogo farmi uz Pleasanton. Područja su uglavnom hrastove šume u kanjonima i hladnija, vlažna mjesta i otvoreni travnjaci na izoliranijim, sušnijim mjestima. Pleasanton Ridge dobar je primjer ove kombinacije - često će jedna strana grebena biti potpuno prekrivena hrastovim stablima, a druga strana je gotovo neplodna, s umjereno visokim, ali suhim žutim travama (zelenim tijekom vlažne sezone) izbojima. primarni oblik vegetacije.

Karta Pleasantona

Sjenovite litice značajna su iznimka, jer se nalaze uz Arroyo Del Valle i nekoliko jezera. To znači da stabla mogu rasti na tom području, dok na drugim područjima ne bi mogla preživjeti jer je presuho.

Zbog mjesta Pleasantona (smješteno između Livermore, Dublin, i Sunol), malo je mogućih mjesta za parkove u usporedbi sa susjedima. Kad krenete u potragu za pravom divljinom, najbolja opcija je južno od Livermorea, gdje osim toga Jezero Del Valle ima 4000 metara visokih planina Mount Hamilton, i stotine četvornih kilometara parka na mjestima poput Državni park Henry Coe.

Muzeji i povijesne znamenitosti

  • 1 Napuštena željeznica. Prije nego što je preusmjerena na sjeverozapad centra Pleasantona, pruga je prolazila točno kroz središte grada. Još uvijek možete vidjeti znakove željezničkog prijelaza u ulici West Angela, na primjer, na Farmer's Marketu. Neke su željezničke pruge još uvijek vidljive u blizini kazališta Firehouse, a duži dio napuštene pruge može se vidjeti duž bulevara Sunol južno od centra Pleasantona. (ažurirano ožujka 2017)

Kottingerova staja, sagrađena 1852. godine, nekada je bila zatvor koji su banditi često "posjećivali".

Komercijalna četvrt centra Pleasantona temelji se na Glavnoj ulici, sporoj prometnici s dva traka s trgovinama i restoranima. Glavna ulica je bolja za pješake nego za vozače, jer je cesta vrlo prometna. Neke su zgrade starije od drugih - nove zgrade i dalje se dodaju uz glavnu ulicu, dok druge imaju dugu povijest. Najbolji i najskuplji restorani uglavnom su u centru Pleasantona, iako postoje i drugi dobri restorani u drugim dijelovima grada.

Poslovni park Hacienda lako se prepoznaje po neobičnoj prometnoj signalizaciji

Poslovni parkovi

  • 11 Poslovni park Hacienda, Owensov pogon (Veliki dio sjevernog Pleasantona je Poslovni park Hacienda). Ovo nije najbolje mjesto za posjetiti putnike ako nemaju puno vremena, ali zanimljivo je posjetiti ako ne znate što drugo učiniti sa sobom. Dva su faktora ono što Hacienda Business Park čine vizualno zanimljivim: arhitektura uličnih znakova i povijest poslovnog parka. Prvo, neobični semafori i ulični znakovi gigantske su četvrtaste strukture izgrađene preko ceste, a naglašene su onim što ih odmah okružuje. Drugo, povijest parka: Hacienda Business Park izgrađen je oko 1980-ih kada je Pleasanton počeo izgledati kao danas, a Hacienda Business Park zamijenio je stočarstvo i poljoprivrednu zemlju. U roku od nekoliko godina, ono što je danas sjeverni Pleasanton, prešlo je iz sela u važan dio grada Pleasantona. Međutim, planovi programera da Hacienda Business Park pretvore u jedan od najvećih svjetskih poslovnih parkova nisu uspjeli - široki bulevari u poslovnom parku iznenađujuće su prazni, što poslovnom parku ponekad daje gotovo napušten osjećaj.

Lokalni događaji

Svakog ljeta Pleasanton je domaćin sajma okruga Alameda, glavnog ponavljanog događaja u Pleasantonu. Međutim, Pleasanton ima brojne druge događaje, kako u glazbenom, tako i u ostalim oblicima. Pleasanton, poput susjeda Livermore, ima iznenađujuće jaku jazz scenu. Glavni jazz događaji uključuju mjesečne koncerte Inklings, koji su besplatni i otvoreni za javnost.

Pleasanton je domaćin mnogih aktivnosti duž glavne ulice. Takve aktivnosti uključuju Umjetničku šetnju trećim četvrtkom: one su važne, čak i za one koji ne prisustvuju događajima, jer često rezultiraju zatvaranjem prometnica u Glavnoj ulici ili ulici Angela.

Relaxing

Although Pleasanton isn't a beach town, there are still places to take time relaxing. Pleasanton's historic residential district is nearly always peaceful — especially along Second Street and onwards, you could almost think that no-one was living there.

Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park and Shadow Cliffs Regional Park are not the best places to relax. For relaxation in parklands, the best place to go is Livermore. In Livermore, 2 Sycamore Grove has beautiful trails featuring woodlands, historic buildings, and hills in the south. There are numerous benches around the park, so feel free to bring a snack and enjoy the peacefulness of the sycamore and olive groves.

Pleasanton and Livermore are working on a trail network for cyclists and pedestrians. Portions of Livermore's trail network are already complete; the trails mostly contain gentle slopes in nice countryside, ranchlands, and vineyards - a good area to escape the busyness of ordinary life. The trail network is accessible from the Sycamore Grove Staging Area. When the Pleasanton section is complete along 4 Old Vineyard Avenue, the trail network in the region will grow even more.

Pleasanton has a wide range of restaurants, particularly along Main Street. What is mid-range for Pleasanton would probably be considered expensive in many places, due to Pleasanton's high cost of living.

Pleasanton's restaurant styles include some cuisines that are rare in much of the country, such as Mediterranean and Arabian food. There are also some Indian restaurants in Pleasanton.

  • 23 Hap's Original, 122 West Neal St. Hap's has an old-school cocktail sign visible from Main Street.

Razmetanje

  • 9 Rose Hotel, 807 Main Street, Pleasanton, California (At the intersection of Saint John Street and Main Street and across from the US Bank and Oasis Restaurant). The Rose Hotel is one of Pleasanton's most beautiful buildings because of its height and large size, making it the closest thing in Pleasanton to the type of expensive hotels you would find in the downtowns of many popular tourist destinations. There is an entrance to the building along Main Street and there is parking for the hotel on the first floor of the building itself. Expensive. (ažurirano lipnja 2018)

El Charro Road east of Pleasanton; much of this road is used for quarry transport

Automobili

On the whole, Pleasanton is a safe city. The most dangerous locations in Pleasanton are toward the edges of the city — Vineyard Avenue, on the east of the city, has a high speed limit and turns without good curbs, and accidents have occurred around certain corners.

When driving in country areas, deer will often jump over a high fence onto the road, and that can be problematic when someone is driving along that piece of road. The same is true with raccoons and other smaller animals, but of course this does not pose so much danger to drivers.

Bicikli

Remember, if you're a cyclist who uses a bicycle for transportation, you're on the wrong side of the pond.

Cyclists should be careful about going on the wide, country roads, for sure; commuters from the Središnja dolina drive far above speed limits and often crash into fences or anything along the sides of the road. Avoid cycling in downtown; the roads are busy, cycling lanes (if they exist!) are narrow, and pedestrians often walk along the sidewalks. Cycling is best done on the numerous bike trails around town.

Zločin

Pleasanton seems, unless you know the Pleasonton story, to have reason behind its name — it is one of America's safer towns. Even at night, you could walk in almost any part of the town with no worry whatsoever about crime. The little crime in the area generally comes from inhabitants of larger cities in Županija Alameda.

One problem in Pleasanton and Livermore is drunk driving. With numerous wineries in the area, people will often drive from one to another and drink at each one, and their condition rapidly deteriorates, sometimes leading to serious accidents when they drive home.

Generally, although the city is very safe, the safest parts of town are in the downtown area. Unless you're Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, you should not have to worry about leaving your car unlocked while you eat at a restaurant (not that you should). Signs and posters along the Main Street won't get vandalized, unless they're political. People are often afraid to make their political views public, for example, especially if they're part of the right-wing minority.

Divljač

Outside Pleasanton is probably more dangerous than inside the city. The East Bay has a mountain lion population, although mountain lions generally stay away from populated places and parklands, at least during the day.

When you see a mountain lion and it is acting threateningly towards you (which isn't very common, by the way), act the suprotan way you would act to a bear. With bears, advice is often to make yourself as small as possible. However, with mountain lions, your best chance is to scare them off. By making yourself look large and by throwing stones, the mountain lions are most likely to work out that you're more powerful than they are, and they will go away.

Rattlesnakes can also be a problem outside of the city itself. Generally, you can avoid rattlesnakes by walking in the center of trails (so you can see them). If it's not in a good position for attack, you'll have time to get away from the rattlesnakes. If the snake is coiled, then it’s angry and ready for attack, so get away as fast as possible. Čini ne attempt to take pictures of the snake within several feet of it. Rattlesnakes can spring surprisingly far and use their venom before you can get away, so make sure you are extremely careful in any parks and country areas.

Wi-Fi

Pleasanton downtown has its own Wi-Fi, while most restaurants, coffee shops, and hotels will also have their own. The area is also covered by XFINITY internet connectivity for those who have an XFINITY account.

Vijesti

There are several local newspapers, such as the 5 Neovisno newspaper based in Livermore, and the 6 Pleasanton Weekly newspaper based in Pleasanton. A magazine commonly seen at storefronts and coffee shops is the 7 Alive Magazine, linked here to the Peet's Coffee location with Alive magazines in Pleasanton.

The Neovisno i Pleasanton Weekly also have websites where news articles can be read without charge.

Mail

Glavni 8 Pleasanton Post Office is on Black Avenue quite close to downtown Pleasanton; however, there is another post office in the northern part of town.

Snaći se

Generally, coping in Pleasanton shouldn't be much harder than it would be anywhere else, although the wide boulevards (of which there are many in the north near Hacienda Business Park) could be overwhelming for visitors. Cost of living may surprise visitors; if you're traveling on a budget, there's a Trgovac Joe's grocery store in the north of town, with cheaper groceries; and various low-price goods can be purchased at Rick's Picks, na primjer.

Medicinska pomoć

There is a major hospital and 9 heliport along northern Santa Rita Road. It is the main hospital in town.

In Dublin just across the I-580 (on Tassajara Road) is a 10 ValleyCare Urgent Care centar. This is useful for those who have sudden ailments, although there are often long waits for care and the urgent care center does not do major operations - just relatively simple care.

Idi dalje

  • Livermore is in some ways similar to Pleasanton, but is still different. While Pleasanton has many historic sights, Livermore has an abundance of wineries, vineyards, and large areas of mountains and parks. The city has about 8,000 more people in Pleasanton, and is an interesting contrast.
  • Just south of Livermore is Del Valle Regional Park, which is a large regional park with several campsites and a large reservoir, Lake Del Valle. From the top of some of the ridges are beautiful views of the lake and in other locations high cliffs. Del Valle is also a gateway into some even wilder country at Ohlone Regional Wilderness.
  • Mount Hamilton, also known as Lick Observatory, is south of Ohlone, and can be accessed via either Livermore, Patterson, ili San Jose. Particularly from the eastern side, the drive is a lonely one. However, once you reach the top Mount Hamilton and look around you, the long, tiring drive was worth it. The 4,000-foot-high scientific community and observatory has views of San Jose and possibly the Sijera Nevada in good weather conditions. There is a museum and a gift shop at the settlement.
  • Farther south of Mount Hamilton, Del Valle, and Ohlone is some of the loneliest country in California at Henry Coe State Park. Miles and miles of trails lead deep into the Diablo Range wilderness and mountains covered in pine trees.
  • San Francisco, in many ways, need not be explained. It is the home of several piers, cable cars, and the Golden Gate Bridge, and is less than two hours from Pleasanton - that is, in good traffic. (The freeways into San Francisco are traffic jams much of the time.)
  • San Jose is one of California's largest and fastest-expanding cities, with a population of more than a million. It is home to several museums, along with Alviso, a coastal town which was once a thriving port but is now the home of a nature reserve.
  • Concord is, along with Potok Orah, an area with many shops and more nightlife than Pleasanton and the Tri-dolina regija.
  • Sunol is a small village south of Pleasanton with some unique attractions. One of these is the locally-famous Sunol Water Tower, which is for a few hours on some days, and the passenger train which runs from Sunol to Niles vikendima.
  • Mount Diablo is a dramatically-situated mountain to the north of Pleasanton. Although it is less than 4,000 feet, its prominence enables it to be seen from as much as a hundred miles away.
