Pleasanton To Discuss Major Redevelopment Of BART Station Site Future

PLEASANTON, CA — The Pleasanton City Council will review a number of proposals for redeveloping the 14-acre Pleasanton side of the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station, which currently consists mostly of underused parking lots.

The city has used grants from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the Association of Bay Area Governments to work with consultants to design high-density, transit-oriented proposals that include housing, bike lanes, retail, open space, and more. The site currently comprises:

• 1352 BART parking spaces that are only about 51% full on a regular basis, according to recent data
• 507 additional spaces in the Alameda County parking garage
• Minimal housing or mixed-use development
• A bus access road, vacant retail, and a small plaza
• The Iron Horse Trail running through the middle of the site

On Tuesday, city staff will present several preliminary reuse options for the property, including:

• Buildings 5-8 stories tall with housing, retail, restaurants, and/or public or community uses
• A community plaza and open space along the Iron Horse Trail
• Protected bike lanes along Owens Drive
• Options to reduce but not eliminate BART rider parking on-site

The council is looking for public feedback to develop the next stage of the Concept Plan, which is due in late 2026. That will help determine its Request for Proposals.
The meeting will take place Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the City Council Chambers, Tri-Valley TV or the City's YouTube channel.
