This is good. This is a place that has historically been neglected. Turning the office parks into a downtown-style neighborhood with retail and restaurants will make it much more pleasant to live in.

Transit on the Dumbarton rail would really help people get into and out of that area without getting stuck in the rush of commuters from the Dumbarton bridge into Palo Alto.
