EMBARCADERO - MONTGOMERY CAPACITY PLAN & STATION MODERNIZATION Project Purpose
Develop a phased implementation plan for improvements to modernize and accommodate the increasing number of riders at Embarcadero and Montgomery Stations.
Study Objectives 1 Understand the setting, concerns of stakeholders and BART riders, and the relationship of project elements and setting.
2 Explore the viability of project elements: • New Side Platforms • Platform Screen Doors • Additional Elevator • Pedestrian Connection to Transbay Terminal • Direct BART-MUNI Transfer
3 Identify implementation and phasing issues.
BART … and you’re there.

BART’s two busiest stations are Embarcadero and Montgomery.
The number of BART riders has been steadily Platforms get crowded during peak evening commute times. increasing and ridership growth is expected to continue.
Long lines develop The demand for BART during peak morning hours is forecast to continually increase. at stairs and escalators Above is a preview of the year 2025. during peak morning commute times. Planning Context

CAPACITY PHASING AND IMPLEMENTATION (as funding becomes available) Analysis and review of ways to improve capacity has resulted in a list of specific projects and a general timeframe for implementation pending funding. Next steps are integration with the station modernization effort and seeking funds. Timeframe Reduces platform crowding and Early wins improves passenger flow Real-time information, different seating and relocating the janitorial closet creates more platform space. Embarcadero: elevator upgrades 0-10 Creating better access and more flow: and more stairs years Construct more stairs next to existing escalators and add another platform elevator • Relocate existing zigzag stairs to end of platform • Construct new elevator for primary BART use • Modify existing elevator for primary MUNI use
Montgomery: new stairs and elevators A new elevator to the MUNI platform, additional stairs 5-15 and escalators, replaced platform seating, to reduce years platform crowding.
