• 'Hate-related' neo-Nazi material circulated in Petaluma neighborhood (pressdemocrat.com) — Petaluma police are investigating antisemitic neo-Nazi pamphlets left overnight in driveways around Baywood and Daniel drives, and they're asking anyone with surveillance footage or information to come forward. Officers collected the materials, which reference a white supremacist group, and are treating the case as a hate-related incident while coordinating with regional agencies and local faith leaders.
   

• Marin-Sonoma bike-sharing program extended for 3 years (marinij.com) — Petaluma SMART riders can expect Redwood Bikeshare e-bikes to stick around and likely expand, thanks to more than $2 million in new funding that extends the program three years. Officials say the bikes are boosting SMART ridership and cutting car trips, though some Marin leaders want future expansions to reach Southern Marin as well.
   

• Pedestrian killed in crash on Highway 116 identified as 74-year-old Sebastopol man (pressdemocrat.com) — A Petaluma man, 33-year-old Ulises Vazquez Perez, was killed when his car left Tomales Road in Two Rock and hit a tree, igniting in flames with him trapped inside.
