San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) launched the construction and renovation works at Concord station. The renovations will provide the station plaza with a major makeover, and will include improved pedestrian access with a more prominent, raised crosswalk, an added bike lane, energy-efficient lighting, and an improved “kiss ‘n ride” zone for passengers.
The renovations total USD 3.2 million, with funding from a combination of Prop 1B, Measure J, and BART funds. The work is expected to take a year, wrapping up by summer 2018. Approximately 60 parking spaces have been relocated across the street while construction is underway.
Separate from this project, Concord Station is also slated to receive a bike station, where commuters can securely leave their bikes as they travel through the system. The bike station project’s budget is USD 700,000, with construction expected to be complete by winter 2018.
