Pleasanton BART <br />Existing Physical Site Conditions Opportunities and Constraints Evaluation Oct 16, 2025 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />11 <br />Project stage: The environmental assessment for NEPA was completed in December 2024, and <br />a determination of FONSI (Finding of No Significant Impact) was made in June 2025. Funding <br />gaps have been identified and phasing studies are currently underway. The final design is <br />scheduled to be completed in 2025, with construction proposed from 2025-2027. The project's <br />initial operating phase is projected to begin in 2028, though this is subject to change. <br /> <br /> <br />d. Regulatory and Planning Context <br /> <br />i. BART Station Access Policy <br /> <br />The Board Adopted the 2016 Station Access Policy to guide BART rider access practices and <br />investment priorities with walking as the primary investment priority followed by biking then <br />transit/shuttle and paratransit, then drop off. Investments in parking are permitted at this station <br />considered “Auto Dependent.” However, reducing the need for parking helps BART advance <br />the access policy goals, as well as its TOD policy goals to maximize the amount of housing on <br />BART property. <br /> <br />The Station Access Policy identifies the following goals: <br />a. Safer, Healthier, Greener: Advance the region’s safety, public health, and greenhouse gas <br />(GHG) and pollution-reduction goals. <br />b. More Riders: Invest in station access to connect more riders cost effectively, especially <br />where and when BART has available capacity. <br />c. More Productive and Efficient: Manage access investments, programs, and current assets <br />to achieve goals at the least cost. <br />d. Better Experience: Be a better neighbor, and strive for an excellent customer experience, <br />including on the first and last mile of the trip to and from BART stations. <br />e. Equitable Services: Invest in access choices for all riders, particularly those with the fewest <br />choices. <br />f. Innovation and Partnerships: Be an innovation leader, and establish durable partnerships <br />with municipalities, access providers, and technology companies. <br />Figure 3-4: Visual simulation from Valley Link EIR document showing the new station and track as seen from the <br />south side of Owens Dr. DRA <br />F <br />T
