There was never a formal vote by the City Council to endorse either SMART station location. The widely reported 4-1 vote is a misreading of this article from February, 2024, which states: "However, there was no vote, and White was not the only one to wonder why not. Did it mean that SMART might continue to try to change the council’s collective mind behind-the-scenes, since the downtown location was its stated favorite?

Kay reiterated that no vote was necessary, as no change to city policy was made or requested, because “the council direction last night just affirmed a number of previous decisions to locate the station at the Depot on Hudson St. That was the status quo option, so they essentially provided direction that it wasn’t necessary to explore the alternative option further.”

Even without a formal vote, the city apparently decided with its residents—and its history—that once a train depot, always a train depot. The SMART station will go on Hudson Street" .
