Public Meetings to Elicit Feedback About Berkeley BART Station Remodel

The popular Downtown Berkeley BART station is getting a makeover and BART officials want public feedback on what matters most to riders. BART planners are developing a long-term vision for the station which includes making changes to concourse and platform to help modernize the station and enhance our customers’ overall experience. This effort is in coordination with the planned redesign of the street-level plaza.

The Downtown Berkeley Station is the closest station to the world-renowned UC Berkeley. The public is invited to join the conversation by attending one of two in-station open houses:

• Wednesday, September 30 from 4-7 p.m.
• Thursday, October 1 from 7-10 a.m.

Also among the proposed station improvements are art and platemaking to reflect community identity and improve station function; brighter and more efficient lighting; improved access for those with disabilities; increased safety and security; ad improved pedestrian and bicycle access.

The public is also invited to fill out a survey regarding the proposed improvements by visiting www.bart.gov/downtown-berkeley.
