I have not forgotten . The City of Novato has no jurisdiction and never will, as relates to how many trains runs through Novato. Current council members need make no apologies over some thing they cannot control. The idea of twenty trains a day is laughable so relax. What bothers me most about this whole sad scenario has been the misuse of environmental laws. These laws set up to protect the environment are misused and twisted to suit the needs of local NIMBY'S . The whole EIR argument was and is just a ruse. A legal way to stop restoring the line until reviewed and over turned by the courts. Novato folded like a deck of cards. In the end this only hurts the true environmental movement. The NIMBY'S used you . The NIMBY'S revealed there double speak and hypocricy .So Novato gets a couple of quiet zones .Nonsense ! Until the public (the citizens of Novato ) get use to trains at road crossings again you are only inviting death by creating a "quiet zone " Meantime the environmental lawyers and MINBY'S can scheme up new lawsuits while the citizens foot the bill.
