Dublin/Pleasanton BART Existing Conditions – Access and Circulation June 6, 2025 Page 17 of 24 Passenger Loading Both sides of the station provide passenger loading areas. The passenger loading on the Dublin side is along DeMarcus Boulevard/Iron Horse Parkway. As shown on Figure 8, the designated passenger loading and taxi zone on the Pleasanton side is just north of the BART Permit parking lot (Lot C). The passenger loading area is a one-way counterclockwise roadway and at least 22 feet wide, accommodating passenger loading on the right side of the roadway and providing one lane for circulation. Vehicles access the passenger loading area either through the BART driveway on Owens Drive opposite Willow Road or through the BART Station roadways and exit through the BART driveway on Owens Drive opposite Willow Road. The passenger loading area provides about 350 feet of curbside loading space with the first 150 feet designated for taxis and the remainder designated as passenger drop -off zone, including 40 feet of accessible curb space nearest to the station entrance. Owens Drive also provides a taxi-only zone south of the Dublin/Pleasanton Station parking lots. City of Pleasanton staff noted that these spaces currently have minimal usage. These spaces could accommodate some of the current passenger loading activities t hat occur within the station.
