  • 2015 Station Profiles
    2015 BART Station Profile Study Station Profiles – Non-Home Origins STATION PROFILES – NON-HOME ORIGINS This section contains a summary sheet for selected BART stations, based on data from customers who travel to the station from non-home origins, like work, school, etc. The selected stations listed below have a sample size of at least 200 non-home origin trips: • 12th St. / Oakland City Center • Glen Park • 16th St. Mission • Hayward • 19th St. / Oakland • Lake Merritt • 24th St. Mission • MacArthur • Ashby • Millbrae • Balboa Park • Montgomery St. • Civic Center / UN Plaza • North Berkeley • Coliseum • Oakland International Airport (OAK) • Concord • Powell St. • Daly City • Rockridge • Downtown Berkeley • San Bruno • Dublin / Pleasanton • San Francisco International Airport (SFO) • Embarcadero • San Leandro • Fremont • Walnut Creek • Fruitvale • West Dublin / Pleasanton Maps for these stations are contained in separate PDF files at www.bart.gov/stationprofile. The maps depict non-home origin points of customers who use each station, and the points are color coded by mode of access. The points are weighted to reflect average weekday ridership at the station. For example, an origin point with a weight of seven will appear on the map as seven points, scattered around the actual point of origin. Note that the number of trips may appear underrepresented in cases where multiple trips originate at the same location. The following summary sheets contain basic information about each station’s weekday non-home origin trips, such as: • absolute number of entries and estimated non-home origin entries • access mode share • trip origin types • customer demographics. Additionally, the total number of car and bicycle parking spaces at each station are included for context.

  • Supplemental Communications (3)
    Late Communications Planning Commission September 1, 2021 Supplemental Communications (3) (The following are communications received after 4pm on September 1.) Late Communications Planning Commission September 1, 2021 Communication From: Andrew Beahrs <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 1, 2021 7:48 PM To: Pearson, Alene Subject: North Berkeley BART housing now WARNING: This is not a City of Berkeley email. Do not click links or attachments unless you trust the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Commissioners: As a Berkeley homeowner I understand the desire for convenient parking at the North Berkeley and Ashby stations, which I have taken advantage of on many occasions (Ashby was my local station for a decade, and North Berkeley is now). That said, I *strongly* support immediately moving ahead with construction of transit‐friendly housing at both stations. While my preference is for affordable units, I would also love to see more market‐rate units that might play a small but real role in filling the deep need for more housing of all kinds in our region. I welcome the prospect of new, diverse neighbors renting apartments on the sites. As a community, we regularly issue statements of support in favor of respecting the value of Black lives and adapting and/or mitigating to climate change. We speak loudly of our openness to accepting refugee communities, and decry the state of homelessness in our town, region, and state. All these words are entirely empty without a willingness to build transit‐friendly housing. THIS is what we need to do; THIS is the place to do it; THIS is the time to do so.
