Update on out-of-service escalator at El Cerrito del Norte Station

Work to end mid-March 2012

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the out-of-service escalator. We have experienced further delays in our repairs. In addition to problems we discovered with the alignment of the main drive gears, we have also experienced other issues that have kept us from completing this work. Our best estimate at this time is that the escalator will be out of service until mid-March.

We recognize the great inconvenience this is causing you, but we hope that once this work is complete, it will result in many years of trouble-free operation.

People who rely on the escalator will have to use the elevator to get to their destination.

To check the operational status of the elevator before arriving at the station, please call 510-834-LIFT or 888-2-ELEVAT.
