Station Modernization Plan
The Balboa Park BART Station Concept and Modernization Plan was completed in 2020 and is a long-term vision for improvements to enhance accessibility, safety and security, capacity, state of good repair, appearance, and sustainability. The plan was done in partnership with the City of San Francisco and community to assess needs, collect feedback, identify transformative opportunities, and develop a preferred set of improvements that can be phased in over time as funding becomes available.
