I was in the area last week and had time to drive Through Novato City proper and also Petaluma On Saturday. Petaluma right of way looks to have been worked on north and south of the station with hardly any weeds. No crossing lights or gate have been installed. Novato has a small Market being built west and south of the tracks hardly a town center as the real town center is to the west two block from the tracks. gates and lights for the most part look to have been installed. but the grooming of the right of way still need the weed cleared in most areas. This town center is a new whole foods market going in and it faces the street to the south which has a bridge over the tracks. (Grade seperated) I really don't see what the big @#$%& is about with Novato and the track being to close to the new market? It's not that close.
