17th Street/SMC station is an at-grade light rail station in the Los Angeles Metro Rail system located near the intersection of 17th Street and Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica, California. It is served by the E Line. [4]
The interurban Santa Monica Air Line ran south of Colorado on a private right-of-way in this area. While the E Line follows the Air Line's right-of-way for much of its route, the line and its stations in this area were moved to the median of Colorado Boulevard per a request from the City of Santa Monica during its design phase.

The east end of the station is at 17th Street and the west end of the station is mid-block between 15th and 16th Streets with entrances at either end. Parking and an off-street bus stop is located just south of Colorado between 16th and 17th Streets. [6]
