History
BART proposed a train station near the current location as part of the Marin Line in a report sent to the approving counties in 1961.[3] Marin's exit from the Bay Area Rapid Transit District halted these plans.
The current station opened to preview service on June 29, 2017; full commuter service commenced on August 25, 2017.[2][4]
