As the master plan for transportation in North Pleasanton is implemented, local residents can see Pleasanton's town motto, "The City of Planned Progress" at work.

Recent improvements to Hopyard Road, and the completion of West Las Positas are all part of the master plan which was designed to create an efficient road system in North Pleasanton before the anticipated growth of the area occurs.

Financing for the improvements will be through the proposed North Pleasanton Improvement District. As proposed, the district would charge only developers of 2 or more acres for any improvements made. Homeowners and existing businesses of less than 2 acres would be excluded. In the meantime, current improvements are being paid for by The Prudential Insurance Company of America and Callahan-Pentz, co-developers of Hacienda Business Park.
