Cycle 1 Results

The inaugural Safe Routes to BART (SR2B) grant program Cycle 1 for FY 2020/2021 has been a resounding success so far! BART received ten applications from public agencies representing the geographical diversity encompassed by the eligible counties of Alameda, Contra Costa and San Francisco.

A Selection Committee consisting of BART staff and representatives from Walk SF, TransForm and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) reviewed and selected four projects to receive SR2B funding (presented in the table below).

Staff presented the Cycle 1 results to the BART Board on September 10, 2020. Board meeting material can be found here. 

The following summarizes each project in more detail:

• Iron Horse Trail Bridge: Install a grade-separated crossing of Dublin Boulevard to promote safer and quicker access to the Dublin/Pleasanton station, which will close a major gap in this 30-mile, Class I multi-use trail. The project has a total estimated cost of $11.11 million. More information here.

• Walnut/Liberty Protected Intersection: Shorten crossing distances, remove channelized right turn lanes and upgrade lighting and bicycle detection to promote greater visibility and safer vehicle turning speeds. The project has a total estimated cost of $1.83 million and supplements other pedestrian and bicycle improvements on Walnut Avenue that have already been installed. More information here.

• Pittsburg Center BART Pedestrian/Bike Connectivity Project: Install well-lit walkways and bikeways on four segments:
  • Class I multi-use path parallel to eastbound State Route 4 between the BART parking lot and Railroad Avenue;
  • Class I multi-use path on the south side of California Avenue between Harbor Street and Railroad Avenue;
  • Class I multi-use path on east side Railroad Avenue between Alvarado Avenue/ Delta de Anza Trail and State Route 4 eastbound ramps; and
  • Class IV separated bikeway and high-visibility crosswalks on Railroad Avenue between California Avenue and E 17th Street. 

The project has a total estimated cost of $5.5 million. More information here
