Sonoma and Marin counties in California voted in 2008 to approve a rail system called SMART. The SMART rail
line has one to two stations in fourteen cities along the line. This project�s goal was to move the second station in
Santa Rosa from a location that was hard to access to one that was visible and easily accessible. The issue was that
since the new area was already developed, it was a challenge to coordinate all of the property owners and to come
up with a design that included over 300 parking spaces and a new connector road. Fisher Town Design provided
the design and political expertise to successfully move the station. This was done with funding from Codding
Enterprises and in conjunction with a coalition that included Creative Housing Associates, the Redwood Chapter
of the American Institute of Architects and the Leadership Institute.
