JLS BART feasibility study published
You may not have heard about it, but BART has been conducting a feasibility study for locating a BART station close to Jack London Square. BART, City of Oakland and community representitives have been meeting to discuss and review the study for several months and the final document has now been published.

Unfortunately it was decided early on in the study that locating a BART station in our district would be too expensive and too disruptive to the BART system to be feasible. Therefore the study goes on to look at several alternatives that could provide a better transit link from our district to the existing BART stations, the favourite being a street car.

If you would like to know what the future of public transit in this area could look like, or are just curious how you tax dollars get spent then Part 1 and Part 2 are available at the BART planning website.
