This is the first in a multi-phase Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) that will ultimately transform approximately 6.5 acres of underutilized BART parking lots into 743 new apartments. xitter.cf/SFBART/status/20706330…

There is still more work to do before people can move in to the Transit-Oriented Development at the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station but construction has been zooming along this year thanks to its modular construction! It took less than 3 weeks to install all the housing units.

El Cerrito Plaza is one of several major TOD projects that BART is advancing across its system, designed to generate ridership and contribute to the agency’s long-term financial sustainability, strengthen local economies, and provide equitable access to opportunity. xitter.cf/SFBART/status/20706555…

Service reduced from two tracks to one this Sunday, October 18 between San Leandro and Bay Fair stations so crews in the trackway can manage vegetation that could affect our ability to offer safe and reliable service. The work will start before we begin service and continue until 6pm.

San Francisco riders can take the Blue Line and transfer to the Orange Line at Bay Fair. Orange and Blue line trains will be extended in length from six to eight cars throughout the day to provide additional capacity for riders who typically use the Green Line.

Riders in the area should expect 25–30-minute delays. There will be no Green Line service for the entire day but we will continue to provide service to all 50 stations.

East Bay riders who would typically use the Green Line can instead use the Orange Line and transfer at Bay Fair to a Blue Line train to travel transbay.

When the Loma Prieta earthquake hit on Tuesday October 17, 1989, BART was put to the test like never before. Not only did service resume just a few hours after the quake, BART ran 24-hours a day, seven days a week for about a month while the Bay Bridge was closed.

Reminder this is today: At 10:15am, BART staff will trigger our ShakeAlert early warning earthquake system to ensure it is functioning and working correctly. Once triggered, trains will automatically slow down to 27mph. Then all trains will come to a very brief stop.

Throughout the pilot, BART will gather feedback from users and review usage data to evaluate how riders are using the service, what they find most helpful, and whether BART should seek funding to offer this type of service in the future.
