JohnWest, Reading your comment again I agree with you--restoration to a former railroad configuration.
The main objection I was making to the IJ piece is that the author says he is a depot historian/buff writing a book about NWP depots and then testifies that the current building has no original depot parts. Which is just blatantly not true. It verges on propaganda.
This is a hot button issue in San Rafael and this guy is presenting himself as an expert and then making false representations of fact to the readership.
It's a problem.
Of course this is happening on all sides. The architect for the Whistlestop's partner had a slide in his presentation last month that said "This is not another Wincup" which is excatly what it is. A giant building rising several stories above the very edges of it's lot.
I guess some folks feel like the Big Lie is the best way to deal with the public on issues like this.
