Pleasanton BART <br />Existing Physical Site Conditions Opportunities and Constraints Evaluation Oct 16, 2025 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />9 <br />c. Planned Infrastructure Improvements <br /> <br />i. Iron Horse Trail improvements <br /> <br />Improvements are planned to the section of the Iron Horse Trail (IHT) - a 32-mile regional multi- <br />use transportation and recreational corridor - running through the project site. BART’s Iron Horse <br />Trail Project aims to improve bicycle and pedestrian access to the Dublin/ Pleasanton Station, <br />for the purpose of implementing its latest Station Access Policy (adopted 2016). The <br />improvements will tie into IHT improvements being made in the adjacent city of Dublin. This will <br />help to close the gap (from Dublin to Pleasanton) in the IHT, allowing BART riders to reach the <br />station more easily using active transportation. The improvements will also improve safety and <br />comfort for pedestrians and cyclists traveling to and through the station area. <br /> <br /> <br />In addition to BART riders who walk and bike to the station as part of their commute, the Dublin/ <br />Pleasanton station itself is a recreational destination for users of the IHT. The improvements are <br />intended to help visitors locate and access the trail easily. The trail also connects BART riders <br />with the broader network of pathways, trails, and green spaces in the area. <br /> <br /> <br />The scope of this work that impacts the project site includes the following: <br />• The diagonal multi-use pathway running through the site will be upgraded to a designated <br />two-way bicycle track, separated from vehicle traffic and from the pedestrian sidewalk. <br />• Reconfiguration of the bus area adjacent to the station entrance. <br />• Two out of four kiosks in the existing central plaza will be removed. <br />• New landscaping and storm water management features- including new trees along the trail. <br />Figure 3-2: Exhibit showing the IHT improvements on the project site <br />DRA <br />F <br />T <br />Page 157 of 399
