Iron Horse Trail Being Extended From Dublin/Pleasanton BART to Santa Rita Road

Iron Horse Trail is being extended from the Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station to Santa Rita Road, the East Bay Regional Park District announced on its website last week.

The 1.5 mile extension closes a gap and will complete the Iron Horse Trail through Pleasanton.

In a press release, the EBRPD said:

The trail link provides a safe, non-motorized route for adults and kids to travel between schools, homes, work and shopping, and connects the BART station and major corporate business offices and employment centers in Pleasanton, such as Kaiser Permanente in the Hacienda Business Park.

A ceremonial ground breaking for the project will take place on the Pleasanton Kaiser Permanente Campus, 5820 Owens Drive, on Wednesday at noon.

Pleasanton Mayor Jerry Thorne and Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty are expected to attend along with officials from the EBRPD, Kaiser Permanente and BART.

When the Iron Horse Trail is completed, it is planned to stretch from Martinez on the Carquinez Strait to the San Joaquin County line near the Altamont Pass.
