Petaluma North station is a future Sonoma–Marin Area Rail Transit station in Petaluma, California located at Corona Road and North McDowell Boulevard. It will open as an infill station on January 10, 2025.
History
[edit]The station was planned as an infill station to be constructed after the initial phase of the system's construction had been completed.[2][3]
SMART estimated construction costs for the station at $11 million in 2019.[4] In June 2020, the SMART Board of Directors authorized $8 million from the sale of a district-owned property to be used for design and construction of the station.[5] However, in January 2021, the Petaluma City Council rejected a housing development tied to the station project, placing the station's future in doubt.[6]
In July 2022, the city won a $10 million state grant for construction of the station.[7] The city and the Sonoma County Transportation Authority each contributed $2 million for the station's construction, bringing the construction budget to $14 million.[8] Construction of the station and pathway started in November 2023 with completion scheduled for late 2024.[9] The station will open on January 10, 2025.[10][11]
