BART Concept Plan Planning Commission 4 of 9 As mentioned, vehicular parking is divided into Reserved and Daily Fee parking and is available on both the Pleasanton and Dublin sides of the station. Table 1 summarizes the station's existing vehicular capacities between the two sides of the station. Data from a BART parking occupancy survey completed in autumn 2024 is included in the table to identify the parking occupancy rate. Table 1: Existing Vehicular Parking Spaces in Pleasanton and Dublin Pleasanton Dublin BART parking spaces 1,352 spaces (about 51% occupied) 1,521 spaces in parking garage 189 surface parking spaces SUBTOTAL: 1,710 spaces total (about 58% occupied) Other parking spaces - 507 spaces in Alameda County parking garage TOTAL 1,352 spaces 2,217 spaces Planned Capital Improvements to Site and Proximate to the Site Planned capital improvements to the site and adjacent to the site include those to the Iron Horse Trail and the proposed construction of the Valley Link Rail Station. These improvements are not contingent on the site’s redevelopment as outlined in the scenarios (i.e., they are planned independent of the redevelopment of the site). Starting in early 2026, BART will improve the Iron Horse Trail with a two-way bicycle track that would be separated from vehicle traffic and from the pedestrian sidewalk, pedestrian-scale lighting, improved lighting under the freeway and elevated BART structures, additional secure bicycle parking, wayfinding and signage, landscaping and storm water management features, safety and security features, a small park/plaza/gateway treatment at the transition to the Iron Horse Trail to the north, and public art. To facilitate and encourage bicycle access to the station, the bike lanes along Owens Drive will be striped to allow bicyclists to cross the street more efficiently at the existing signalized intersection. Construction of the Valley Link Rail line would provide a rail connection between the subject BART station (and therefore the Tri-Valley and greater Bay Area) and the San Joaquin Valley. A new aerial station platform would be constructed, along with pedestrian access including stairs, elevators and escalators. At this time, the timeframe for construction of the Valley Link station is to commence in 2028. Exhibit B to this report provides additional detail regarding the site’s existing conditions, planned improvements, and constraints. PROCESS TO DATE As mentioned in this report, the City’s Housing Element identifies the site for housing and, as part of an implementation program, calls for the preparation of a concept plan to facilitate the future construction of housing on the subject site. To date, th e project team has initiated this
