BRENTWOOD (CBS SF) — The potential home of a future eBART station in Brentwood won the unanimous endorsement of the BART Board of Directors Thursday. The board passed a resolution of support for the proposed Brentwood Transit Center and Mokelumne Trail Bridge, which could someday become part of the transit agency’s eBART system. “The resolution from the BART Board is an important step in showing the strong regional support for building the Brentwood Transit Center,” BART Director Joel Keller said in a written statement. The transit center plan calls for what at first will essentially be a bus hub that would connect passengers from eastern Contra Costa County to the planned eBART station in Antioch near Hillcrest Avenue. “The transit center would remove approximately 1,000 cars from Highway 4 for more than four miles past the Antioch eBART station by providing parking for customers taking Tri Delta Transit to BART,” Keller said. If eBART is ever extended to Brentwood, the station would most likely be built at the same location. In March, the Brentwood City Council voted unanimously to explore building a transit center near the intersection of the Mokelumne Multi-use Trail and State Highway 4, which is between Lone Tree Way and Sand Creek Road. No money has been allocated for the project, other than $550,000 in Measure J funds for a Mokelumne trail bridge over Highway 4. The bridge project, however, is estimated to cost roughly $8 million. The eBART system is currently under construction and will connect the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART station to a and an Antioch station when it opens in May 2018. eBART is a light-rail system that will operate with independently propelled diesel trains. © Copyright 2017 by CBS and Bay City News Service.

" Barthood " is the ninth episode of Season 27. It is a flashback episode revolving around Bart's life. Synopsis. Bart’s coming of age story, a la “Boyhood”, chronicles his life from six years old to his time as an accomplished young man. Along the way, his tense relationship with Homer, an overly uncaring version of himself, and Lisa, who overshadows him in every way possible, shape Bart more than he realizes. Bart's life story is told using flashbacks to when he was as young as six and flash-forwards into the future, featuring a series of fights with Homer and experiences of being overshadowed by Lisa. Full Story. The episode begins with Homer and a six year old Bart laying down on grass. Bart asks his father things about nature, only for Homer to ask him why he left his toy cars on the stairs, as it resulted in many injuries to Homer. The family decides to take Bart to Abe's house to get him away from Homer. As Bart asks grandpa if he can play with toy cars, he remembers an old car he had bought brand new in 1954 and forgot about . Bart asks if he can sit on it, but Grandpa reveals he'll let Bart drive it. The episode fast-forwards two years into the future, with Bart still driving Grandpa's car and running late for his reading class. Jonathan Frink tries to teach him without much success, but discovers that Lisa, who is two years younger, can read almost perfectly. Later, Lisa paints a boat on the sea, to which Marge replies they're placing it over the couch. That's when Bart reveals that he made a painting on the entire kitchen. While Homer is painting the walls and furniture to restore them to their original color, Bart tries to impress Lisa by driving Homer's car, only to crash it through the kitchen wall, almost hitting his father. Homer and Marge decide to go to a psychologist to find out why their son is such a troublemaker. The psychologist says Bart acts out because Homer doesn't pay enough attention to him and they should go camping together. However, instead of taking the boy camping, Homer takes him to an inn and lounges on the bed watching sports, making Bart sad. Back at home, he discovers that Lisa is the student of the month at Springfield Elementary, even though she's in the school only for a month, while Bart has been there for two years and hasn't won anything. Homer tries to reconcile with him by saying he loves both of them the same amount: 40%. Bart makes a bumper stickers for Homer's car, but he ignores it because there's no more space for stickers on his bumper. The episode fast-forwards to Bart's 12th birthday, where Lisa gets the news she's student of the month at Springfield Elementary for 48 consecutive months. Bart gets angry that his sister can overshadow him even at his birthday party, so he decides to go skateboarding with Milhouse. They decide to break street lamps; while Milhouse gets arrested and taken to juvenile hall, Bart hides at the Retirement home, where Grandpa gives him a BMX. Three years later, Bart is good at making stunts with his bike, Marge and Lisa go to a camp together, leaving Homer and Bart alone. Marge mentions that this could be Homer's last chance to have a close relationship with Bart, only for them to talk a few seconds, with Homer leaving him at home alone once again. Bart throws a party at their home, and he finds Homer and Chief Wiggum high on pot. Wiggum jumps out the window attempting to fly. Homer reveals that he was exactly like Bart, but when he was born, this meant he was not a kid anymore. They hug each other, but their moment is ruined when Homer mentions that he will not go anywhere or do anything. Bart goes to visit Grandpa's grave and gets the idea of going to a BMX competition, where he would never be overshadowed by Lisa. During one of his stunts, however, he gets distracted by Lisa's shadow, hits the ground too hard and blacks out. He discovers that he was brought revived by Lisa, who's proclaimed as a hero, and this revelation makes him angry at her yet again. Bart decides to make caricatures at the port, where he's invited to Milhouse's graduation party. He's reluctant to go because Lisa is also in their graduation class, but he decides to attend anyway. At the party, Milhouse's parents fight in front of him, so Lisa tries to make him happy by saying he's "cuter then ever", and kisses him on the cheek. This results in Milhouse replying that she's the best thing at the party. Bart gets irate that he's always the second best Simpson in everything, but Lisa confronts him, saying she's tired of him blaming her for every setback in his life and that he's a good artist, even though he never does anything with his talent. Bart decides to take his sister's rage as advice. Two years later, Bart opens a bike customization shop, where he's surprised by Nelson. He wants to give all the lunch money he stole at school back, so he presents Bart with $5,000. Bart's also surprised to see that Lisa and Nelson are dating (again). He shows them a giant painting on a wall, showing various moments through his life. Lisa realizes that she's not on any part of the mural, so Bart lowers one of the shop's doors to show her a giant mural made in her homage of one of his favorite sisters. The episode finishes with Nelson discovering that El Barto is actually Bart. Bart Gets Famous. " Bart Gets Famous " is the twelfth episode of Season 5. Synopsis. Bart sneaks away from a boring field trip to the box factory and finds himself working as Krusty's assistant. Bart performs a scene on one of Krusty's gags, but makes a mistake and says, "I didn't do it". Full Story When Bart's class goes on a field trip, what Bart is expecting to be a day full of fun is soon dashed when Mrs. Krabappel bitterly guesses Principal Skinner is taking them to the Springfield Box Factory (again). Bart tries to use his imagination to pretend they're going somewhere else, but (due to his overindulgence in TV), it doesn't work. As they drive, most of the students and Mrs. Krabappel stare with their faces against the windows at other classes also on field trips but to much more exciting places (like Toy Town, the Fireworks Testing Range, and the Slide Factory) before pulling up at the box factory. The tour is something which everyone except Skinner and Martin find to be exaggeratedly dull. This includes Bart, who gets bored with the tour and sneakily escapes from the class to go to the Channel 6 TV studio nearby, where he wanders by a beach scene and Bumblebee Man. Back at the box factory, no one can find Bart. Skinner calls Homer who comes to the box factory, thinking that Bart was killed in one of the giant box-making machines. Meanwhile, Bart meets up with Krusty, who is outraged that he does not have his Danish (Bart ate the last Danish, which was meant to be for Krusty). Because of this, Bart steals a Danish from Kent Brockman and gives it to Krusty, who then becomes grateful and asks him to become his assistant (Krusty has forgotten all the other times Bart has helped him out, from saving his career to renewing Krusty's relations with his father). When Bart returns home, Homer is relieved that he does not have to tell Marge that Bart was killed in a box accident; Bart even says "That's my lucky red hat sittin' on top of a double-corrugated, eight-fold, one 4-gauge box," to hide the fact he sneaked off during the field trip (neither Homer nor Marge ever found out Bart sneaked off). Afterwards, Bart continues his work as Krusty's assistant. Bart soon learns that being a crew member is not all suspense and glamour, as he gets taken for granted by the cast and put upon to do many things for Krusty, who calls him at all hours. Bart's name is only a small mention in the credits, so no one believes he helps Krusty. However, before Bart decides to quit, Krusty offers to let him say one line in a sketch. Bart messes up his lines and destroys all of the props on the stage. When the crowd's focus comes on him, he tries to get out of it, saying, "I didn't do it", which causes the audience to laugh and applaud. Seeing this, Krusty immediately uses Bart and his "I didn't do it" catchphrase in later sketches, and eventually creates a franchise out of it. As Bart continues with his "I didn't do it" catch phrase, it begins to launch into all sorts of fame such as marketing, trinkets, and public appearances. Homer tries to market Lisa as a quipper, but she refuses, explaining that if she ever becomes famous for something, she wants it to be for something and not for some "obnoxious fad." Bart overhears this and begins to fear that the fad will wear off, so he tries to act intelligent (as during his interview on Conan O'Brien's show), but is ordered to just say the line. After having a nightmare where he is a has-been, Bart considers retirement, but Marge says while it may be monotonous for him, he is making people happy. Bart appears on the Krusty show repeating the one line, but it is now flopped. Krusty brusquely says Bart is a has-been, and even slams the door in his face. As Bart walks home, he reflects how fame can be fleeting. Marge gives Bart a box of items she kept during his stint, and gives it to him to help him remember his time there. When Homer accidentally breaks the Simpsons' lamp, it sets off a number of memorable catchphrases: Homer : D'oh! Bart : ¡Ay, caramba! Marge : Hmm. Maggie : [sucks pacifier] Ned Flanders : Hi-diddly-ho! Barney Gumble : [burps loudly] Nelson Muntz : Ha Ha! Mr Burns : Excellent! Everyone looks at Lisa expectantly. However, Lisa isn't amused and says "If anyone wants me, I'll be in my room." As she goes upstairs, Homer asks, "What kind of catchphrase is that?" Lisa is the only member of the immediate family without a catchphrase. BART moves forward with $1 billion in extension projects. The BART Board of Directors has just moved forward with bringing Bay Area residents $1 billion in transit expansion projects. On Thursday, April 23, Board members voted to construct a 10-mile extension into eastern Contra Costa County and approved two significant elements of the funding plan for the Oakland Airport Connector. Both historic projects will help create jobs, stimulate the region’s economy, provide congestion relief and improve air quality. "This is indeed a red letter day for BART," BART Board President Thomas Blalock said. "I think of the convenience, jobs and the positive impact these projects will have on the environment and I smile." "BART is an integral and vital part of the Bay Area Community," BART Board James Fang said. Fang, who is the Board’s longest- serving member, added, "Through the actions of Thursday’s meeting we are delighted to not only create eco-friendly transit solutions, which now connect two of the Bay Area’s major airports, but bring critical construction revenue to the region." $479 Million “eBART” Project Will Extend Service 10 Miles The $479 million extension, called "eBART," or east Contra Costa BART, will use Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) technology. The tracks will extend BART service beyond the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station, go down the median of Highway 4, through Pittsburg and Antioch and terminate east of Hillcrest Avenue in Antioch. BART expects to complete the extension in 2015. "We evaluated several extension scenarios for eastern Contra Costa County and clearly the DMU is the most cost effective technology for this project," BART Board Member Joel Keller said. Keller represents BART District 2, which includes Pittsburg and Antioch. "eBART is fully funded from state, regional and local sources, so it’s practical to move forward with this phase of the project now instead of waiting longer for the more than $1 billion it would take to build an extension with traditional BART train technology. It’s important to note that moving forward with DMU technology does not preclude a future BART extension, if funding were to become available in the future. Finally, DMU technology also provides the opportunity to expand BART service to in the future to Oakley, Brentwood, Byron/Discovery Bay and beyond." eBART good for environment and economy Thursday’s Board action adopted the project and certified the environmental impact report on the project. "DMU trains are environmentally sustainable," Blalock said. "They use ultra-low sulfur fuel and meet all applicable U.S. and air quality standards." Europe and County are just some of the places that use DMU systems. "Approving the eBART extension brings us closer to providing commute relief to the highly congested Highway 4 corridor," Blalock said. "One DMU train will carry as many people as 250 cars, greatly reducing greenhouse gas and air pollution emissions. This also shows that we are not locked into one type of transit technology to provide connectivity and traffic relief." According to the American Public Transportation Association’s job generation/economic impact formula, the project will support and/or create approximately 15,000 direct and indirect jobs and generate about $1 billion in economic activity.

BART Board acts on Oakland Airport Connector The long-awaited Oakland Airport Connector (OAC), which the Board approved in 2002, took two significant steps forward on the project. The Board only has one more step to go in order to complete its role in securing the final funding package for the $500 million, 3.2-mile elevated connector between the Coliseum BART Station and Oakland International Airport. "This project is very important to the people of my district and the millions who use the Oakland Airport because it directly creates hundreds of jobs during construction and provides those who fly in and out of Oakland a quick, convenient and reliable connection with BART," BART Board Member Carole Ward Allen said. According to the American Public Transportation Association’s job generation/economic impact formula, the project will also support and/or create approximately 13,000 direct and indirect jobs and generate $1.2 billion in economic activity. "Finally both the SFO and Oakland airports will be connected to BART," Ward Allen said. "After all these years – almost 20, in fact – we will have BART service to Oakland Airport. I’m also very happy that the project will include disadvantaged enterprise goals to create opportunities for companies run by people of color and women." At the Thursday meeting, board members approved two elements of the Oakland Airport Connector funding strategy: to receive $70 million in federal stimulus funds, and to support the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s action to re-assign the OAC project $50 million in savings that BART’s achieved from its Earthquake Safety project. The Board postponed its vote on the final piece of funding that BART’s responsible for – the up to $150 million in federal financing – until the public has a chance to see the final ridership analysis that supports the federal financing plan.
