Pleasanton - Pleasanton

Downtown Pleasanton
Za mesto v Teksasu glej Pleasanton (Teksas).

Pleasanton je mesto v Okrožje Alameda, v Vzhodni zaliv od Območje zaliva San Francisco. Je eno najbogatejših mest te vrste, s številnimi vrhunskimi restavracijami in zgodovinskimi okrožji. Zaradi sredozemskega podnebja na tem območju lahko na podeželju najdemo vinograde, skupaj s hrastovimi griči, vročim poletnim vremenom in dokaj blagim zimskim vremenom.

Razumeti

Pleasanton se je konec 20. in v začetku 21. stoletja močno spremenil, vendar mu je uspelo ohraniti videz kavbojskega mesta. Prometne mestne ulice, ki so pogosto obrobljene z drevesi, so dobro oblikovane in zasedajo skupno šest pasov, zlasti na severu mesta; vendar obstajajo druge, bližnje, vendar manjše ulice, ki so kljub naraščajočemu prebivalstvu in napredku ostale presenetljivo tihe. Resnično nenavaden, čeprav precej čuden vidik Pleasantona je, da mu Pleasanton kljub stavbam, ki izgledajo naravnost iz zahoda, daje položaj v bližini Silicijeve doline svetovljanski občutek: restavracije z mehiško, italijansko, turško, Azijske in ameriške kuhinje so med seboj oddaljene približno kilometer.

Ime

Pleasanton je bil ustanovljen kot "Alisal". Mesto naj bi postalo Pleasonton, po imenu vojaške osebe v Uniji. Ker pa so različna mesta jasno pokazala, da se želijo imenovati Pleasonton (kot npr Pleasanton v Teksas), je ameriška vlada naredila pravopisno napako in jih vse poimenovala "Pleasanton", kar je še danes. Mnogi domačini domnevajo, da gre za pristanišče besed "prijetno" in "mesto".

Zgodovina

Pleasanton se je skozi leta močno spremenil; v preteklosti je bilo grobo mesto, ki so ga obiskovali razbojniki, vendar je zdaj Pleasanton eno najbogatejših mest v državi. Območje se je začelo razvijati v štiridesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja in je bilo ustanovljeno leta 1850.

Nekatere mestne ulice, kot je Kottinger, so poimenovane po zgodnjih lastnikih zemljišč v mestu. Poimenovanje ulic po lastnikih zemljišč je v Pleasantonu presenetljivo pogosto in takšni postopki poimenovanja se dogajajo celo v novejših stanovanjskih naseljih.

Mesto je postalo pomembnejše v Kaliforniji v devetdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja, ko je postalo eno glavnih kalifornijskih središč za snemanje, nekako tako kot Hollywood danes. Rebecca s kmetije Sunnybrookna primer, je bil posnet leta 1917 v Pleasantonu. Prebivalstvo Pleasantona pa je začelo naraščati v šestdesetih letih, prebivalstvo pa se je več kot potrojilo na 18.000 v letu 1970. Prebivalstvo je od takrat naraslo na približno 80.000.

Pleasanton ima veliko zgodovinsko okrožje s središčem, nekaj zgodovinskih domov in 1 zgodovinska cerkvena stavba med prvo in tretjo ulico. Predvsem okoli Prve in Druge ulice je nekaj dobro vzdrževanih domov, nekaj pa jih je iz 19. stoletja, nekateri pa so v viktorijanskem slogu.

Lokacija

Pleasanton je zahodno od Livermora in južno od Dublina na območju zaliva v Kaliforniji. Če je cestni promet dober, je Pleasanton oddaljen približno eno uro San Francisco, 30-35 minut od Oakland, in dve uri od glavnega mesta države, Sacramento. Obdan je z gorami, vključno z Mount Diablo na severu. (Gora Diablo se vije nad regijo in drugimi gorami.) Veliki deli reke Diablo Range, ki gre skozi območje Pleasanton, so zaščiteni kot Regionalni park East Bay.

Mesto je dokaj blizu Okrožje Santa Clara, območje, dobro znano po tehnologiji. Nekateri Pleasantonci se vozijo na območja v Južnem zalivu in na Polotok, medtem ko drugi živijo in delajo v Tri-Valleyu.

Vinogradi v bližini Livermore

Pleasanton je tudi le nekaj ur stran od Vinska dežela Napa Valley. Zato imajo deli mesta in bližnji Livermore nekaj kvadratnih kilometrov vinogradov, zlasti na jugovzhodu. Dvorci in kleti so raztreseni po tej regiji. Pleasanton je dobro izhodišče za turiste, saj je med nekaj pomembnimi regijami Kalifornije in turisti bodo našli dostojno izhodišče za obalo, San Francisco območje, Silicijeva dolina, Srednja dolina, in Napa/Sonoma regiji.

Ljudje

Pleasanton je nekoliko raznoliko mesto. Čeprav je dve tretjini prebivalstva belcev, je več kot dvajset odstotkov Pleasantoncev Azijcev. Približno deset odstotkov prebivalstva je Hispanoamerikanov. V nasprotju s številnimi raznolikimi mesti pa ni posebnih kulturnih skupnosti. Namesto tega se večina mestnega prebivalstva meša in v tesni družbi boste našli ljudi številnih narodnosti.

Po navedbah Wikipedije belci, ki niso Hispanci, predstavljajo približno tri petine prebivalstva, Azijci, ki niso Hispanci, predstavljajo 23% prebivalstva, tisti, ki se imajo za hispano, pa približno eno desetino prebivalstva. V nasprotju s številnimi drugimi mesti na območju zaliva pa je afroameriško prebivalstvo majhno in predstavlja manj kot 2% prebivalstva.

Poleg upokojenskih skupnosti, kot so 1 Potok Stoneridge, Pleasanton ima mlado prebivalstvo. Zaradi visokih življenjskih stroškov in bližine služb v Silicijevi dolini se mnogi, ki se upokojijo, sčasoma preselijo na cenejše lokacije v drugih delih ZDA.

Podnebje Pleasantona je Sredozemsko, vendar ni daleč od puščavskega podnebja, zlasti kadar nastopi suša. Padavin je v vlažnih letih lahko več kot 510 mm na leto, v sušnih letih pa le nekaj centimetrov. Večina dežja nastopi v zimskih mesecih. Zato se mora Pleasanton v veliki meri zanašati na namakanje, da ohrani drevesa in vrtove pri življenju, v sodobnih stanovanjskih gradnjah, zlasti z začetkom suše v 2010-ih, pa so bila prizadevanja za spodbujanje uporabe "odpornih proti suši" - ki ne zahtevajo namakanje - rastline namesto trate.

Podnebje Pleasantona se zelo razlikuje glede na leto. Tako je na primer v letih 2013–2015 doživel ekstremne sušne razmere v Kaliforniji in lokalni rezervoarji so skoraj popolnoma presahnili. Vendar so se pozimi 2016-2017 rezervoarji napolnili in v Jezero Oroville približno sto kilometrov proti severovzhodu se je rezervoar prelil na zasilno prelivanje, ki se je nato zlomilo. V bistvu pa se nekaj vidikov Pleasantonovega podnebja dobro ohrani v katerem koli letu: 1) temperatura ima skoraj vedno velike razlike med dnevom in nočjo, zaradi česar je vreme vsaj v nekem dnevu zmerno prijetno; in 2) obstaja jasna mokra sezona (približno november ali december do katerega koli obdobja med februarjem in aprilom) in sušna sezona (preostanek leta), vendar ne jasno opredeljena pomlad ali jesen.

Poleti lahko temperature preidejo do 43 ° C, pozimi pa lahko padejo pod ledišče. Najboljši meseci za obisk so april, maj in oktober, ko so temperature primerne in dežja skoraj ni.

Junij je lahko vroči mesec, kot se običajno pričakuje. Junij je drugi najvišji mesec za rekordne temperature v Pleasantonu, za septembrom. Julija in avgusta v Pleasantonu skoraj vsak dan zmerno vroče, vendar pogosto ne dosežemo enakih rekordno visokih temperatur, kot so junija in septembra.

Najvišja temperatura, ki jo je Pleasanton uradno kdaj dosegel, je vročina (46 ° C), čeprav je na vzhodu mesta, kjer so temperature na splošno najbolj skrajne zaradi večje oddaljenosti od Tihega oceana, lahko celo bolj vroče.

Enostaven način zapomnitve podnebja za tiste, ki ga ne poznajo, je "30-60-90", slavni pravokotni trikotnik. Temperature pozimi so običajno v območju od –1 ° C do 16 ° C, medtem ko so temperature poleti običajno od 32 ° F (16 ° C) do 90 ° F (32 ° F). C) obseg. 60 ° F (16 ° C) je temperatura, ki si jo delita tako poletje kot zima. Vendar ta pomnilniški pripomoček ne upošteva vročinskih valov. Kaže pa, da Pleasanton pozimi prejema konstantno vreme, povprečni vzponi in padci v zimskih mesecih pa se popolnoma ujemajo z značilnim vremenom v mestu.

Informacije o obiskovalcih

Za informacije o obiskovalcih pojdite na 2 Knjižnica Pleasanton. V bližini knjižnice Old Bernal Avenue ima knjižnica glavno informacijsko mizo, kjer odgovarjajo na vprašanja. Obiščete lahko tudi bližnjo 3 Stavba civilnega centra za informacije o mestu. Vendar pa bodo te stavbe sčasoma preselili v novo civilno središče, ki bo na aveniji Pleasanton. Po mestnih načrtih bo kompleks civilnega centra združen v eno glavno stavbo v bližini parka Bernal Community Park (ki bo bližje I-680).

Številne knjigarne in druge trgovine okoli Pleasantona prodajajo zgodovinsko knjigo Pleasanton, ki podrobno prehaja skozi zgodovino mesta.

Vstopi

Z letalom

Čeprav je regionalno letališče v Livermoreju, so najboljša letališča v območju Pleasanton v San Franciscu, Oaklandu in San Joseu. Ta letališča bi morala biti od Pleasantona oddaljena manj kot dve uri vožnje, če je promet dober.

Letališče San Francisco

Mednarodno letališče San Francisco (SFO) je največje od teh letališč. Iz San Francisca pa je treba priti do Pleasantona - to storiti z avtom vključuje več prometnih avtocest s številnimi zapletenimi križišči, kar je lahko izziv za tiste, ki tega območja še niso bili. SFO ima tudi postajo BART.

Letališče Oakland

Letališče Oakland (HRAST IATA) je manjše letališče v Oaklandu v Kaliforniji, bistveno bližje Pleasantonu. Letališče je z BART-om povezano s prevoznikom ljudi in ima hitro cesto, ki ga povezuje s preostalim delom območja. Tudi zanka na letališču razmeroma olajša vstop in izstop z avtomobilom. Ko ste na vzhodu I-580, je pot do Pleasantona dokaj preprosta, če poznate avtoceste v ZDA

Letališče San Jose

Letališče San Jose (SJC IATA) je zdaj glavno letališče. Če pa se popoldne vozite proti severu od San Joseja do doline Tri-Valley, lahko I-680 (avtocesta, ki povezuje San Jose s Pleasantonom in Concordom) traja ure vožnje proti severu. Najslabši del se začne okoli ceste Scott Creek v kraju Fremont območje in se konča z avtocesto CA-84 pred križiščem južno od Pleasantona.

Z avtom

Avto je večinoma najboljši način potovanja za vstop v Pleasanton.

Avtoceste

V Pleasantonu sta dve avtocesti: I-580 (severna stran) in I-680 (zahodna stran) ter ena hitra cesta CA-84 (jugovzhodna in vzhodna stran). I-580 in I-680 pa sta lahko strašno zaposlena. Na primer vožnja po I-680 od San Jose do Pleasantona, ki bi trajalo le približno štirideset minut, lahko traja več kot eno uro. Obe avtocesti in CA-84 se strmo vzpneta; I-680 in I-580 sta nekoliko zvita v hribih in ne pomagata prometnim težavam.

CA-84 je kalifornijska avtocesta, ki šele nastaja v letih cestnih del. Večina odseka CA-84 od križišča z I-680 južno od Pleasantona do križišča z I-580 v Livermoreu je bila nadgrajena z dvopasovnice na štiripasovno hitro cesto. CA-84 sledi Vallecitos "Road" od I-680, v bližini Sunol, skozi hribe severovzhodno do vzhodne meje Pleasanton in Livermore. CA-84 se srečuje s cestami Pleasanton na križiščih z Vineyard Avenue, Stanley Boulevard in Jack London Boulevard (vzhodni del Stoneridge Drive).

Druge ceste

Približuje se z vzhoda: več cest povezuje Tracy z Livermoreom; če greš zahodno od Tracyja, greš mimo Livermora na poti do Pleasantona. Sem spadajo I-580, Tesla Road (J2), Altamont Pass Road in Patterson Pass Road. Tesla Road, Altamont Pass Road in Patterson Pass Road pa so mestoma ozke in zvite.

BART vlak

Bližanje z jugozahoda: jugozahodno od Pleasantona lepa cesta z imenom Niles Canyon Road (zahodni del CA-84) povezuje Fremont območje s Sunol, mesto na jugozahodu Pleasantona. Iz Sunola lahko pridete do Foothill Road, Pleasanton-Sunol Road, I-680 ali CA-84, da pridete do Pleasantona.

Približuje se s severa: več cest v Dublinu, mestu severno od Pleasantona, se nadaljuje v Pleasanton pod drugimi imeni: Dougherty Road postane Hopyard Road, Tassajara Road postane Santa Rita Road, San Ramon Road postane Foothill Road, Fallon Road postane El Charro Road, in Hacienda Road prečka I-580. I-680 gre od Dublina, San Ramona in različnih mest severno od Pleasantona do Pleasantona (in se seveda nato nadaljuje proti jugu do Silicijeve doline).

S kolesom

Zaradi hribovitega terena je večina cest v Pleasanton bodisi preozka za kolesarske steze bodisi avtocesta, zato ni veliko dobrih možnosti za kolesarjenje v Pleasanton. Najboljši cesti s kolesarskimi stezami sta Pleasanton-Sunol Road na jugu in Vineyard Avenue na vzhodu. Kolesarjenje v Pleasantonu je bolj primerno kot rekreacijska dejavnost.

Avtor BART

Zemljevid poti BART, vključno s Pleasantonom

The 1 Dublin / Pleasanton Dublin/Pleasanton station on Wikipedia in 2 Zahodni Dublin / Pleasanton West Dublin/Pleasanton station on Wikipedia Postaje BART ponujajo poti do Oakland in naprej do San Francisco in Mednarodno letališče San Francisco. Postaja Dublin / Pleasanton ima avtobusno povezavo do centra Pleasantona (glej #Z avtobusom).

Vlaki BART so precej hitri (približno 50 km / h), podobno hitrosti avtomobilov, ko je promet dober. Kot lahko vidite na zemljevidu, večina vlakov BART vozi v San Francisco in Oakland. Proga Dublin / Pleasanton se sčasoma poveže s fremontskimi linijami, gre skozi Oakland, pod zalivom San Francisco, skozi San Francisco in se konča v Millbrae. Obstajajo pa številne postaje, kjer se bo vlak vsakič ustavil za nekaj minut. Nato traja nekaj minut in se spet ustavi.

Z BART-om so se zgodila kazniva dejanja, zato bodite vedno previdni, ko ste v vlakih BART, da veste, kje so vaše stvari, in se prepričajte, da jih nihče ne more pobirati.

Z vlakom

The Altamont koridor Express (ACE) je železniška storitev, ki vozi od Pleasantona do bližnjih krajev, vključno Stockton in San Jose. Poteka le 4-krat na dan v vsako smer - zjutraj proti jugu in popoldne proti severu - in se ustavi pri 3 Postaja Pleasanton Pleasanton station on Wikipedia v središču mesta.

Z avtobusom

Obstajajo lokalni lokalni avtobusi. Na primer, avtobus 10R vozi od postaje Dublin / Pleasanton BART do centra mesta Pleasanton (nadaljuje do Livermore) s 15-minutno frekvenco čez dan.

Obiti

Mesto je dokaj enostavno za navigacijo; ceste so v nasprotju z Livermoreom postavljene v logičnih vzorcih z zelo neposrednimi križišči.

Peš

Downtown

Pleasanton ima sprehodljivo zgodovinsko središče mesta. Središče središča je Main Street, od avenije Bernal na jugu (zasidrana od mestne hiše na starem Bernalu) do Arroyo del Valle na severu. (Načrt centra mesta je določen na Spletno mesto Pleasanton Downtown Plan[mrtva povezava].) Pleasanton Downtown Association ponuja navodila o tem, kako priti do centra mesta z različnih točk. Zgodovinsko stanovanjsko okrožje ima tudi zelo sprehodljive ulice, čeprav so v tem delu mesta strmi hribi.

Severni Pleasanton

Severni Pleasanton je bil nekoč močvirje, zato so ko razvili območje, izkopali kanale. Ob kanalih so 4 poti za kolesarje in sprehajalce. Vendar se je veliko bank v kanalih sesulo v deževni sezoni 2016–2017, vzdrževanje in zapiranje pa se nadaljuje do leta 2017. Govori se, da nekatera zemljišča v tej regiji tonejo; razvoj pa se je nadaljeval.

Ko potujete peš, se izogibajte stezam blizu I-680, saj zagotovo niso mirne.

Druga navigacija

Razen 5 Pot železnega konja in drugih zgoraj omenjenih poteh je težko peš voditi zunaj centra mesta. Pleasanton je milje širok in milje od severa proti jugu, zato lahko traja nekaj ur, da pridete od poslovnega parka Hacienda do samega centra mesta. Čeprav so pločniki ob cestah okoli Pleasantona, po njih hodi le malo ljudi, razen šolarjev.

Z avtom

Vožnja je v Pleasantonu razmeroma enostavna in na splošno je parkirišč dovolj za vse (čeprav včasih v središču mesta ni tako. Na primer med sejmom okrožja Alameda). I-680 obkroža zahodno stran mestnega območja s tremi izhodi (Sunol Boulevard, Bernal Avenue in Stoneridge Drive) in I-580 opredeljuje severno mejo mesta Pleasanton s štirimi izhodi (Hopyard Road, Hacienda Drive, Santa Rita Ceste in ceste El Charro). Če potujete proti jugu po cesti Santa Rita, stran od I-580 proti središču Pleasantona, cesta zavije v Main Street, ki označuje vhod v središče mesta. Če gremo proti jugu po Hopyard Road, se sčasoma zoži in zavije v Division Street, ki postane Street Saint Mary, ki se konča na Main Street v centru mesta.

Pleasanton, zlasti od ustanovitve Poslovnega parka Hacienda, ima številne široke ceste (na severu), po katerih je zelo enostavno voziti.

Parkirišče

Parkirišča so prostorna, zlasti v nakupovalnih središčih, zaradi ravnejših tal in veliko dodatnega prostora. Vendar je parkiranje v centru mesta zapleteno, zlasti ob Main Streetu. Med poletnim sejmom okrožja Alameda je parkiranje v središču mesta skoraj nemogoče.

Ne poskušajte parkirati neposredno na Glavni ulici ali Prvi ulici podnevi, saj so te ceste ozke in prometne, zato je parkiranje ob njih zahtevno. Površinske ulice z enostavnim parkiranjem so pogosto le malo oddaljene od prometnih, preobremenjenih cest. Glavna ulica in na splošno središče mesta sta lahko katastrofalna za parkiranje med prireditvami, med sejem okrožja Alameda pa ljudje parkirajo v središču mesta, da se izognejo parkirninam na sejmišču. Težave je lahko tudi parkiranje, zlasti v manjših ulicah, jeseni, ko odpadlo listje pokrije parkirna mesta in drevesa. s svojimi listi, pokrivajo razsvetljavo in napise.

Na splošno se parkirišče v regiji Hacienda Business Park nahaja v nakupovalnih središčih ali v bližini poslovnih enot. Na tem območju so parkirišča velika, prostora je več, kot je avtomobilov.

I-580 je razdeljen s črto BART, ki poteka skozi sredino

Vožnja

Glavne ceste v Pleasantonu vključujejo (ti cesti sta na vsaki strani dva pasova vsaj na najširši točki):

  • Cesta Santa Rita: gre od I-580 proti jugu do centra Pleasantona in na južnem koncu postane Main Street.
  • Hopyard Road: teče nekoliko vzporedno s cesto Santa Rita in (gre proti jugu) sčasoma postane Division Street in vodi v središče Pleasantona.
  • Stanley Boulevard, Prva ulica, in Sunol Boulevard: tri imena za različne dele iste ceste. Sunol Boulevard gre od I-680 severovzhodno do centra mesta, First Street prečka središče mesta, Stanley Boulevard pa gre proti vzhodu, mimo Shadow Cliffs in kamnolomov do Livermore.

Druge ceste, ki jih je treba poznati:

  • Glavna ulica: počasna cesta, boljša za pešce kot avtomobili
  • Prva ulica: glej Stanley Boulevard
  • Pleasanton-Sunol Road: povezuje Pleasanton v bližini Sunol Boulevard do centra mesta Sunol

Z avtobusom

Nekaj ​​tranzitnih podjetij služi območju Pleasanton. Glavni avtobusni prevoznik je KOLESA, ki gre za Dublin in Livermore, pa tudi postaje BART. County Connection ima nekaj avtobusov v Pleasantonu. Obstajajo tudi povratne storitve vrha od Pleasantona do Modesto, potovanje do Modesta zjutraj in vrnitev do postaje Dublin / Pleasanton Bart popoldan; cena vozovnice je 11 USD enosmerna ali 13 USD povratna vožnja (mora biti isti dan).

S kolesom

Mesto ima dobro kolesarsko mrežo. Ob kanalih na severozahodu mesta je nekaj poti za sprehajalce in kolesarje. Delo je bilo narejeno za ustvarjanje kolesarske mreže v središču mesta, vendar do zdaj ni bilo uspešno, saj so ceste večinoma preveč zasedene za kolesarje. V gledališču Firehouse stojijo stojala za kolesa.

Načrtuje se tudi povezava kolesarskih mrež Pleasanton in Livermore, saj ima Livermore tudi dobro kolesarsko mrežo. Od leta 2018 poteka asfaltirana pot vzdolž East Vineyard Avenue v Livermoreju, od koder poteka makadamska pot vzporedno z zahodno Vineyard Avenue v Pleasanton.

Pregled

Downtown Pleasanton

Pleasanton ima številne zgodovinske znamenitosti v središču mesta. Običajno so v dveh odsekih: komercialni odsek vzdolž glavne ulice in stanovanjski odsek ob prvi in ​​drugi ulici.

The trgovsko okrožje na Main Streetu je dolga približno pol kilometra. To okrožje v središču mesta je osredinjeno na križišču Angele in Main Streets, blizu Kmečke tržnice. Vendar pa se razteza tudi proti severu od tega križišča, vključno z glavnim križiščem, kjer se stikajo Ray Street, Saint John Street in Main Street (na tem križišču sta restavracija Oasis in hotel Rose). Pešce pogosto opazujejo, kako se sprehajajo po tem okrožju v središču mesta, pogosto pred ali po obroku v restavraciji.

The stanovanjski okoliš, jugovzhodno od glavne ulice, ni tako dolga kot glavna ulica, ima pa nekaj zgodovinskih hiš. Če greste jugovzhodno od glavne ulice, First Street označuje prehod iz komercialne v stanovanjsko, ki je še vedno zgodovinska v drugo in naprej na tretjo ulico. Po tej točki so hiše novejše gradnje, čeprav so nekatere celo v tem delu mesta precej privlačne.

Opazne so tudi druge znamenitosti, kot sta Kottingerjev skedenj in muzej na Majni. To so zgodovinske stavbe, ki so bile od takrat spremenjene v nekaj, česar še niso bile. Na primer, Firehouse Arts Center je bil stavba gasilcev, preden je bila v 2000-ih preoblikovana v gledališko in umetniško galerijo.

Območja držav

Dokler projekt civilnega centra ne bo končan, bo v središču Pleasantona malo (lepih) parkov in vrtov. Zato boste želeli oditi v državo, da bi videli floro in favno.

Skupine, kot je East Bay Parks District, so kupile pomembne dele zemlje v vzhodnem zalivu, ki so zdaj odprte za javnost. Ti parki dajejo tujcem in prebivalcem mesta predstavo o tem, kako je bilo območje Pleasanton nekoč pred novejšimi dogodki. Za parke je značilna država ranča; danes ne boste našli veliko kmetij ob Pleasantonu. Večinoma so to območja bodisi hrastovi gozdovi v kanjonih in hladnejših, mokrih krajih in odprta travinja na bolj osamljenih, bolj suhih lokacijah. Pleasanton Ridge je dober primer te kombinacije - pogosto je ena stran grebena popolnoma prekrita s hrasti, druga stran pa je skoraj neplodna, saj so srednje visoki, a suhi rumeni travi (v mokri sezoni zeleni) poganjki. primarna oblika vegetacije.

Zemljevid Pleasanton

Senčne pečine so pomembna izjema, saj se nahajajo vzdolž Arroyo Del Valle in več jezer. To pomeni, da lahko na tem območju rastejo drevesa, na drugih pa ne morejo preživeti, ker je presuho.

Zaradi lokacije Pleasantona (nestled med Livermore, Dublin, in Sunol), v primerjavi s sosedi je malo možnosti za parke. Ko se odpravljate iskati resnično divjino, je najboljša možnost južno od Livermorea, kjer poleg tega Jezero Del Valle je 4000 metrov visokih gora Mount Hamiltonin na stotine kvadratnih kilometrov parkov na mestih, kot so Državni park Henry Coe.

Muzeji in zgodovinske znamenitosti

  • 1 Zapuščena železnica. Preden je bila železnica preusmerjena na severozahod centra Pleasantona, je železnica nekoč tekla skozi središče mesta. Še vedno lahko vidite znake železniškega prehoda na ulici West Angela, na primer na Kmečki tržnici. Nekateri železniški tiri so še vedno vidni v bližini gledališča Firehouse, daljši odsek zapuščene železnice pa je mogoče videti vzdolž bulvarja Sunol južno od središča Pleasantona. (posodobljeno mar 2017)
  • 2 Kottingerjev skedenj, 200 Ray Street, Pleasanton, CA (Zavijte na Prvo ulico do ulice Ray; zavijte na Ray Street proti centru Pleasanton).

Poslovni park Hacienda zlahka prepoznamo po nenavadni prometni signalizaciji

Poslovni parki

  • 11 Poslovni park Hacienda, Owensov pogon (Velik del severnega Pleasantona je Hacienda Business Park). To ni najboljše mesto za obisk popotnikov, če nimajo veliko časa v rokah, je pa zanimivo mesto za obisk, če ne veste, kaj še storiti s seboj. Dva dejavnika sta tisto, zaradi česar je Hacienda Business Park vizualno zanimiv: arhitektura uličnih tabel in zgodovina poslovnega parka. Prvič, nenavadni semaforji in ulični znaki so velikanske kvadratne strukture, ki so zgrajene čez ceste in so poudarjene s tem, kar jih takoj obdaja. Drugič, zgodovina parka: Hacienda Business Park je bil zgrajen okoli osemdesetih let, ko je Pleasanton začel izgledati tako kot danes, in Hacienda Business Park je nadomestil kmetijo in kmetijstvo. Zdaj je severni Pleasanton v nekaj letih iz podeželja postal pomemben del mesta Pleasanton. Vendar načrti razvijalcev, da bi Hacienda Business Park spremenili v enega največjih svetovnih poslovnih parkov, niso uspeli - široki bulevariji v poslovnem parku so presenetljivo prazni, kar daje poslovnemu parku včasih skoraj zapuščen občutek.

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.

Jej

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.

It's a large coffee shop with many separate sections that are called rooms, including rooms with names like "The Wardrobe" and "The Common Room", where the Jazz at Inklings concerts are hosted, along with other events. Prices are what you would expect at chains, like Starbucks, etc. (posodobljeno dec 2017)

Pubs and wine bars

  • 2 Cellar Door, 4469 Railroad Avenue (On Railroad Avenue behind Inklings Coffee and close to the Firehouse Arts Center). This wine bar serves wine, beer, and some food items, which include flatbreads, chili, and hamburgers. In front of the wine bar is a fairly large patio area, and behind this is the wine bar itself. The wine bar is laid out like a restaurant, and the back part of the wine bar has curtains that can be pulled across to separate the two sections of the business. Sometimes, there is live music, and live music usually takes place behind the front window farthest from the bar. (posodobljeno junij 2018)
  • 3 Main Street Brewery, 830 Main Street, ☏ 1 925 462-8218. If you're looking for Pleasanton's cosmopolitan side, this is not the place to go, but if you're looking for a lively atmosphere and live music, the Main Street Brewery is a good place to go. Rock, pop, and blues music groups are often live here, along with performances by a local jazz singer, Karen Marguth, and the Moving Parts band. (posodobljeno junij 2018)
  • 4 McKay's Beer Garden, 252 Main Street (Southern end of Main Street), ☏ 1 925 425-0217. Towards the southern end of downtown. In the front is a nice patio area where statues were displayed before the beer garden was established. (posodobljeno junij 2018)
  • 5 Pairings Cellars, 310 Main St.. This place has all the modern technology and systems you can imagine and being at this wine bar really makes you feel like you're in a first-class establishment. Don't be surprised if it's expensive, though. (posodobljeno junij 2018)
  • 6 Sabio on Main, Glavna ulica St. (Pastime Plaza), ☏ 1 925 800-3090. Tapas bar and eatery in the Pastime Plaza. It has quite a few tables and chairs, along with a small outdoor patio near Main Street. (posodobljeno april 2018)
  • 7 The Hop Yard American Alehouse & Grill, 3015 Hopyard Rd, ☏ 1 925 426-9600. Lots of beers on tap, mostly American microbrews but including imports. The food is good, but nothing to write home about (burgers, salads); the beer is worth the trip. Outdoor seating fills up in the warmer months. (posodobljeno april 2018)

Vinarne

  • 8 Rubino Estates Winery, 1188 Vineyard Ave (Along Vineyard Avenue; closer to Pleasanton than Ruby Hill). In size and grandeur, it has some similarities with Ruby Hill Winery. Rubino Winery has a long entrance driveway that leads away from Vineyard Avenue to the winery. (posodobljeno dec 2017)
  • 9 Ruby Hill Winery, 400 Vineyard Avenue (Just of CA-84, or take Vineyard Avenue out of Pleasanton). Beautiful, upscale winery in the east of Pleasanton. The area immediately surrounding the winery is much like that of Napa and Livermore Wine Country, and is backed by vineyards and mansions. Near the winery is the (also upscale) Ruby Hill gated community. (posodobljeno dec 2017)

Splurge

  • 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. (posodobljeno junij 2018)

Avtomobili

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.

Kolesa

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 Srednja 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 Okrožje 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.

Divje živali

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 nasprotno 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. Ali 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.

There are several local newspapers, such as the 5 Neodvisno 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 Neodvisno in Pleasanton Weekly also have websites where news articles can be read without charge.

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.

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 Trgovec 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 primer.

Zdravstvena oskrba

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 center. 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.

  • 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, ali 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 Sierra 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 Orehov potok, an area with many shops and more nightlife than Pleasanton and the Tri-Valley regiji.
  • 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 za vikend.
  • 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.
