Dublin/Pleasanton BART Existing Conditions – Access and Circulation June 6, 2025 Page 21 of 24 4. Planned and Proposed Improvements The following transportation improvements that could affect access at the Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station are currently planned at or near the station: The City of Pleasanton’s 2018 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan proposes several improvements to improve pedestrian and bicycle access around the station, including the following: • Improvements to the Iron Horse Tail, including wayfinding, trail and access enhancements. • Striping buffered bike lanes along Ownes Drive, modifying curb ramps at the trail intersection, and implementing a protected intersection at the Owens Drive/Willow Road intersection. • Converting the existing bike lanes along Willow Road to separated bikeways through implementing road diet treatments, enhancing crosswalks with high-visibility striping and median refuges, and reducing curb radii to improve pedestrian safety. The Plan also identifies the “Dublin/Pleasanton BART to Downtown” corridor, which identifies a series of improvements along Willow Road, West Las Positas Boulevard, and Hopyard Road to improve the non-motorized connection between Downtwon Pleasanton and the BART station. Iron Horse Trail Several improvements to the Iron Horse Trail though the station have been designed, with construction anticipated in early 2026. Features include improving the trail’s connection to the Class II bike lanes on Owens Drive by upgrading crossings, improving wayfinding and lighting, and improving the separation between pedestrian and bicycle traffic through the station area. Figure 10 shows the location of the Iron Horse Trail improvements project. The Iron Horse Trail upgrades also include a two-way cycletrack along Owens Drive as shown on Figure 10. These changes are aimed at reducing conflicts and improving safety, especially in potential pedestrian and bike conflict areas. DRA F T
