The Federation of San Rafael Neighborhoods is hosting a forum to discuss the vision for the SMART train downtown station area. There will be a panel of committed public officials and dedicated non-profit spokespeople, each bringing expertise and perspective to the discussion. The panel will discuss the future of the extremely confined site that has conflicting uses.
The lead question is: “What vision do each of you have to guide the very real decisions now being made in the Downtown Station Area – the future of the new transit center, the old train depot, commercial crossroads, area creeks and pathways?”
Below are the goals that the Federation feels that the residents have:
- Efficient flow of traffic from Hwy 101 and onto city streets
- Safe pathways for pedestrians and cyclists traveling all directions
- Appealing, aesthetic, and welcoming appearance
- Reflection of our City’s natural setting and history
