As the Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) agency prepares for construction of a downtown San Rafael station, Whistlestop, the 57-year-old senior center on Tamalpais Ave., will have to relocate due to lack of parking.
The downtown San Rafael station will include a two-platform design with the southbound platform about eight feet from Tamalpais Avenue, leaving no space for street parking, which is essential for Whistlestop clientele.
