Attachment 4 <br />BART Concept Plan – Site Re-use Options <br />Public Comments <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Provided to Planning Commission for the October 22, 2025, meeting <br />Provided to City Council for the November 18, 2025, meeting Page 5 <br /> <br />From: Rachna Jain <br />Sent: Wednesday, October 8, 2025 10:32 AM <br />To: Shweta Bonn <br />Subject: Sincere Request <br /> <br />Hello, <br /> <br />I am a resident of Pleasanton and a regular BART commuter to my workplace. Recently, I’ve noticed that <br />a significant portion of the parking lot is already filling up during weekday mornings. With more <br />companies now requiring employees to return to the office four to five days a week, the demand for <br />parking has clearly increased. <br /> <br />Historically, before the COVID-19 pandemic, all parking lots at the Pleasanton BART station would reach <br />full capacity early in the day. Many commuters, including myself, often had to park far away and walk a <br />considerable distance to the station—an inconvenient and unpleasant experience. <br /> <br />Given this growing demand, I strongly oppose any reduction in parking spaces at the Pleasanton BART <br />station. I kindly request that the City reconsider any plans to reduce parking capacity and instead <br />explore ways to maintain or even expand available parking to support the needs of daily commuters. <br /> <br />Thank you for your attention and understanding. <br /> <br />Warm regards, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 325 of 399
