NATURAL GAS: <br />Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) currently provides natural gas service to the Mountain <br />House community. There is no natural gas service on Bethany Road east of the Southern Pacific <br />Railroad tracks. Therefore, no natural gas service is proposed to serve the annexation area. <br />TELEPHONE: <br />Telephone service to the Mountain House Community is provided by AT&T as a successor <br />company to SBC Communications. New telephone service is available and will be extended to <br />serve new development under existing franchise agreements. The annexation area will be served <br />by AT&T from existing facilities on-site and Bethany Road. <br />CABLE TELEVISION AND INTERNET-RELATED SERVICES: <br />Cable television services and bundled internet-related services are provided to the Mountain <br />House community by Charter Communications. New cable television and internet-related <br />services are available and will be extended to serve new development under existing franchise <br />agreements. The annexation area will be served by Comcast Business services via aerial service <br />that will provide cable television and internet service to the site. <br />LIBRARIES: <br />The Mountain House Branch Library currently operates in a section of the New Town Center <br />Complex. The library offers a circulation collection in English, Spanish, Hindi, and Punjabi. There <br />is also computer work stations with free Wi-Fi, a small reference collection, reading programs and <br />a significant activities program, and copying and typewriter services. <br />PUBLIC TRANSIT: <br />The San Joaquin Regional Transit District, the Regional Transit Provider for San Joaquin County, <br />provides public transit services to Mountain House, as well as Intercity, Interregional, and Rural <br />Transit Services countywide. Currently, RTD provides a local Hopper service between Wicklund <br />Stop in Mountain House, Delta College, Walmart and Downton Tracy. <br />The Altamont Corridor Express provides rail service between Stockton and San Jose on a daily <br />weekday basis. The closest train station to ACE is located in Tracy or Vasco Stations. Currently, <br />there is a RTD direct shuttle service between Mountain House and Tracy ACE station in the <br />morning and evening hours. This service has been temporarily suspended due to COVID-19, but <br />will likely return after the pandemic. <br />Valley Link is a proposed project that will connect Northern San Joaquin County communities to <br />the Tr-Valley and Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) through fast rail service via the route of the <br />historic Transcontinental Railroad right-of-way through the Altamont Pass. This approximately 12- <br />mile, abandoned right-of-way, deeded to Alameda County by Southern Pacific in 1984, provides <br />an unprecedented opportunity to deliver a fast and efficient inter-regional rail service - connecting <br />people, housing and jobs in the Northern California Megaregion and providing much-needed <br />congestion relief in one of the Bay Areas most congested corridors. The project is currently in the <br />environmental phase and if approved and funded, will provide rail link between Pleasanton BART <br />Page 7
