Elevator and Escalator Outage Alert: Fire alarm replacement work at Walnut Creek BART to require intermittent elevator and escalator outages beginning the week of Monday, February 9
BART crews will replace the old fire alarm system at Walnut Creek Station beginning the week of Monday, February 9. The elevators and escalators at the station will be intermittently out of service so BART crews can tie them into the new fire alarm system. Riders who need to use an elevator or escalator to access BART should consider using Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre or Lafayette stations as alternatives or contact the Station Agent for assistance. Agents can arrange a ride to a different station in an accessible van if needed. The work is expected to last approximately two weeks.
Testing of the new fire alarm system may result in strobe and speaker activations, open fare gates, and preempt public address (PA) announcements that are false alarms. There will be extra safety staff including BART PD on hand to monitor. Walnut Creek Station will remain open while the work takes place.
