Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) approved a list of rail and pathway projects connecting SMART stations totaling $21.4 million.
SMART plans to use the funds for $60-80 million in construction grants. Recommendations in the Capital Improvement Plan include two rail projects, advancing all remaining pathway projects to shovel-ready status, and making crossing safety enhancements to several existing pathway projects as part of the Sonoma County Gap Closure Project. The project includes Santa Rosa to Rohnert Park and Penngrove to Petaluma, a $13.5 million investment, scheduled to be constructed in 2022/23.
