History

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 opened on January 10, 2025.^[10][11][12]
