RECOMMENDATION; The cost to install new signs for the Park and Ride Lot and van shuttle is estimated at $1,000 Sufficicnt funds arc budgcted in the Street Maintenance Operating Budget to cover this cost. DESCRIPTION: The Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) East Dublin Station was opened in May 1997 This station includes parking on both the Dublin and Pleasanton sides of 1-580. The existing Dublin parking lot includes approximately 1,700 parking spaces. BART is currently constructing a parking structure that will provide a total of 1,500 spaces (while retaining 300 surface spaces), for a net increase of 100 spaces. A future expansion is planned that will provide a total of 2, I 00 garage spaces and 200 surface spaces. The existing 1,700-space surface lot is typically filled to capacity, which has resulted in spillover of BART patrons onto adjoining public streets, most notably Arnold Drive. On most days, vehicles are parked on both sides of Arnold Drive, extending from Dublin Boulevard north to Central Parkway. Parking violations arc common, and there is likely some use of adjacent private parking lots by BART riders. For some BART riders, the use of Arnold Drive results in a walk of over a half-mile. COpy TO: Barbara Duffy, LAVTA General Manager Page 1 01'2 ITEM NO. ~. L JrtY G:IDEVELOPIPark and Ride Lot.flag.rrt BART Station- Park and Ride 1.01 J'.A VTA /;"'huttle, IM}/-()f"doc The Koll Development at the southwest comer of Tassajara Road and Dublin Boulevard includes a parcel ofland that was dedicated to the City of Dublin in 1998 for a Park and Ride lot. The lot was improved as part of the Koll Center site improvements and includes 200 spaces. In contrast to the BART East Dublin Station parking lot, use of the Park and Ride lot is minimal. This may bc due partially to a lack of directional Slgning to the lot, or simply an indication of low demand for the facility at this time. In order to improve the exishng parking space shortage at the BART station, as wcll as to better utilize the Park and Rlde Lot, Staff developcd thc concept of using the Park and Ride lot as an alternative parking site for BART nders, with a shuttlc service from the Park and Ride lot to thc BART station and return. Staff subsequently discussed the concept with the Livermore-Amador Valley Transportation Authority (LA VT A), which supportcd the concept and has agreed to the shuttle service. As part of the proposed scrvice changes beginning in August, LA VT A will add a new route serving both the BART station and the Park and Ride Lot. The route will bcgin on the Pleasanton side of the BART station, traverse the Hacienda Business Park, and then cross 1-580 via Tassajara Road to a stop at the Park and Ride Lot (also serving the Koll Center), finishing on the Dublin side orthc BART station. The service will utilize nine-passenger vans and mn on a fifteen-minute headway during commute hours (7'00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 7'00 p.m.). Cost of the servIce will be partially offset by the Hacienda Business Park, and there will be no charge to users. Current directional signage to the Park and Ride Lot is minimal. In conjunction with the proposed LA VT A shuttle service, Staff recommends the installation of directional signs to the Park and Ride Lot (modified to show the BART symbol) at various locations on Tassajara Road and Dublin Boulevard, as shown on Attachment 2. In addition, Staff will work with staff from LAVTA and BART to prepare a joint article for the City's website and for distribution to the press that outlines the details of the new shuttle service and directs potential users to the Park and Ride Lot. Staff is also working with ACTlA to incorporate additIonal signing on the freeway as park of the auxiliary lane project between the Fallon and Tassajara Intcrehanges. Staff recommends that the City Council direct the installation of directional signs as shown on the directional signing layout, and continue coordination with LAVTA as needed in order to implemcnt the shuttle service route.
