I work in Healdsburg, so yes, I agree a SMART connection would be awesome! I'm sure there will be buses/shuttles from the station to the wineries. I remember seeing the estimated costs to extend the line North, but I can't find it right now. I want to say it's about ~$30 something million to Windsor, ~$50 million from Windsor to Healdsburg, and another $100+ million on to Cloverdale. I could be wrong though. Windsor is a high priority both because it's close, and it's also actually projected to be the busiest station. Cloverdale, being that's it's so far and very small, may have to wait a bit longer.

I agree! Connecting different modes is always crucial!
