Why don’t you go ahead and contact Regency, buy the property and do exactly what you describe. Or do you just want the current owner to do it, at a huge financial loss, just because? Or, maybe you would like the City of Petaluma, with the whopping $5,000 in reserve to buy it and do that.

I always love these ideas that people have for others property. Things such as, they should make that property into open space or a park. Sure, great idea…..then you buy it and do it. Why should someone else donate to appease you?

Seriously?

The youth in this area are limited to bowling, baseball, soccer, and two skate parks. Since the noise level from the 101 is already very high, an offroad motorcycle track and recreational area should be implemented. for example, browse club moto in livermore or riverfront in marysville. usually a $25 day pass for revenue and waivers for liability release. This will provide revenue, a recreational place for all ages, reduce crime due to a local place to incorporate sports, and bring outside people from out of the area to Petaluma.
You as the public would be amazed if you do some research on the size of this motorcycle community.

Sources:
Rancho Cordova, ca (Hangtown MX)
Marysville (E-Street MX) (Riverfront Park)
Dixon, ca (argyll MX)
Ukiah, CA (Ukiah Speedway)

That is how far we have to drive as a rider to be involved in this sport. Yet we have 3 Motorcycle shops in Petaluma, at least 5 in Santa Rosa, 3 in Marin County and more in the surrounding area.
