 | | Friends of Bay Meadows, a preservationist group dedicated to keeping the San Mateo, California, track from being developed, did not obtain enough valid signatures for a referendum petition that would have let voters decide whether to protect the track. |
 | | Friends of Bay Meadows began circulating its petition on November 8 and collected 5,708 signatures, but only 4,525 were ruled to be signatures of registered San Mateo voters—136 short of the requirement. |
 | | Bay Meadows Land Co. has proposed 1,250 residential units, 1.25-million square feet of office space, and 150,000 square feet of retail space to replace the 75-year-old racing facility. |
