Subject: Notice of Preparation of a Draft Environmental Impact Report
for the proposed BART Dublin/Pleasanton Extension Project
[References: Division 13, Public Resources Code, Section 21080.41
The Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) proposes to construct and
operate a 12-mile, two-station, extension_of the BART system from the
existing Bay Fair Station in San Leandro to the Dublin/Pleasanton area.
This proposed extension is the initial phase of a future BART extension
to Livermore. The planned extension would provide through service to other
BART destinations in the Bay Area. Stations are proposed for Castro Valley
in the vicinity of Redwood Road and Norbridge- Avenue and West Dublin/
Pleasanton near the I-580/680 interchange.
BART is considering a project alternative of a 2-mile extension beyond
the West Dublin/Pleasanton Station site, with a third station located in
East Dublin/Pleasanton near the future I-580/Hacienda Drive Interchange.
The proposed project includes phasing scenarios related to projected
ridership for the years 1995, 2000, and 2005; an interim park/ride facility
at the West Dublin/Pleasanton Station sites and parking design options. The _
EIR will also address possible Joint Development at BART stations which may
include retail services, office space, or other development options to be
determined through cooperative planning by BART and local communities.
This Notice of Preparation is submitted to inform you that BART will
be the Lead Agency and will prepare an Enrvironmental Impact Report for
the proposed project in compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) . Caltrans, in cooperation with the Federal Highway
Administration, will prepare the federal environmental documentation related
to joint use of the transportation corridor. We need to know the views of
your agency as to the scope and content of the environmental information
which is germane to your agency' s statutory responsibilities in connection
with the proposed BART extension.
A project description is attached for your review. Probable
environmental effects to be addressed in-t-he EIR will include: -
• Traffic and parking impacts at the two proposed stations in Castro
Valley and West Dublin/Pleasanton and the third station alternative
in East Dublin/Pleasanton including vehicular impacts on the
operations of intersections adjacent to stations; the adequacy of
station parking supply in relationship to ridership forecasts for
three time periods (years 1995, 2000, 2005) ; internal station
circulation; pedestrian linkages with adjacent residential areas
and commercial uses; impacts to the freeway system; interface with
other planned transit systems (San Ramon Valley Corridor transit
service) and roadway improvements proposed by local communities
(such as Forest Avenue and Lake Chabot Road in Castro Valley) ; and —
traffic impacts for cumulative development in station study areas.
• Noise and vibration for both the construction and operation of the
proposed BART track alignment art' stations.
• Air quality impacts, with a focus on increases in carbon monoxide
and other vehicular emissions from traffic around proposed
stations.
• Energy consumption from building--and operating the proposed _
extension.
• Land use and socioeconomic impacts, such as consistency with
adopted local goals, policies, and plans; consistency with current
site zoning and land use designations; potential disruption to
orderly and planned development; compatibility with adjacent land
uses; effects on population distribution, density, and growth rate;
potential disruption or division of established communities or
neighborhoods; effects on neighborhood character and stability;
effects on existing housing, including possible displacement of
residents and businesses; effects on community facilities
(including medical , educational , religious, recreational) ; effects
on the local tax base. --
• Visual impacts, such as compatibility of the proposed
Dublin/Pleasanton Extension Project with the existing
community/neighborhood design character and scale of development;
potential obstruction of views and scenic vistas from properties
adjacent to elevated guideways or stations; view impacts from
adjacent roads and scenic highways; conformance with local
community design review objectives as stated in individual
community general plans and policies (such as the Dublin and
Pleasanton scenic highway policies for the I-580 corridor) ; new
view potential created by elevated structures; light and glare
impacts.
• Police, fire, emergency medical service, and utility impacts.
• Biological , cultural resource, s$rface and groundwater, and

PROJECT DESCRIPTION FOR THE PROPOSED
BART DUBLIN/PLEASANTON EXTENSION PROJECT
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) proposes to construct and
operate a two-station, 12-mile extension of the BART system from the
existing Bay Fair Station in San Leandro to the Dublin/Pleasanton area,
herein referred to as the Dublin/Pleasanton Extension Project (DPX) . This
proposed extension is the initial phase of--a future BART extension to
Livermore. The extension would provide through service to other BART
destinations. Stations are proposed for Castro Valley and West
Dublin/Pleasanton. BART is also considering a project alternative
consisting of an additional 2-mile extension beyond the West
Dublin/Pleasanton Station. This alternative would provide a third station
located in East Dublin/Pleasanton. Figure 1 shows the regional location
for the proposed project.
2.0 ONGOING PLANNING AND REVIEW PROCESS
Development of final designs for the BART alignment and stations within
the proposed extension is an iterative process requiring close coordination
with local jurisdictions and with Caltrans. The environmental review for
the project is a major first step in this planning and review process. The
environmental review is taking place conctfrrently with preliminary
engineering, refinement of projected ridership estimates, and the
cooperative planning efforts between BART and local communities for
defining Joint Development scenarios at station sites. Extensive
interaction with Caltrans engineering and environmental review staff is
also required throughout the planning and review process.
For this project, BART has established a rigorous public information
program and schedule for agency and community meetings. Input to the
planning and review process is provided by monthly Project Development Team -�
Meetings with Caltrans and the Alameda County Transportation Authority; and
planned meetings with local community department staff. Community meetings
1
will be held in San Leandro, Castro Valley and Dublin/Pleasanton concurrent
with key project milestones. These will include initial scoping meetings,
mid-project meetings to review project alternatives, and hearings on the
Draft EIR. A newsletter will be distributed periodically which will help,
inform interested parties of refinements in the project description and
progress with the environmental review. -I-n addition, BART will provide
ongoing coordination with the Valley-wide Citizens Advisory Committee, a
volunteer committee comprised of members from the Valley Chambers of
Commerce and other groups as required.
A Rail Advisory Committee for the study has been established to serve
as an advisory group to the BART Board of Directors. This committee is
comprised of elected officials from each of the cities of Dublin, Livermore
and Pleasanton, the Alameda County Supervisor representing Castro Valley, _
the Alameda County Supervisor representing the Livermore-Amador Valley, and
the BART Director from the 5th BART District. This committee will meet at
key times during the course of the study.
Completion of the environmental review is scheduled for December of
1989. Preliminary engineering and refinement of the operations plan for
the DPX will take place concurrently with environmental review for the
project and will extend to March of 1990:' BART will pursue agreements with
local agencies and Caltrans/FHWA for project development through January of
1991. Right-of-way acquisition will begin in 1990 and extend to 1992.
Final engineering design will begin in 1990 and extend through 1993.
Actual construction is estimated to take place over a 5-year period (1990-
1995) with testing and start-up projected for 1995.
3.0 BACKGROUND
—
The proposed project is the result of 18 years of planning and
community coordination. Table 1 identifies the chronology of planning
studies and agency actions since 1971 leading to the selection of BART as
2
the preferred transit alternative in the study corridor, and to the
alignment and station locations adopted by the BART Board of Directors in
December of 1987. Measure B passed by Alameda County in November of 1986
provided funding necessary to implement the project. The proposed station
locations and preliminary operations plan were derived from population
growth and initial ridership projections A-n the study corridor to the year
2005 horizon. This corresponds with the horizon year for the Association
of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) forecasts of population, employment, and
housing, for the San Francisco Bay Area. Ridership projections represent
the projected tenth year of operation of the proposed extension, scheduled
to start service in the year 1995.
Criteria identified in the 1976 Livermore-Pleasanton Extension Study
for planning the alignment and stations included:
• Minimize BART construction and operating costs.
• Maximize BART usage at a given population level .
• Minimize total direct travel costs.
• Avoid change in developed residential neighborhoods.
• Minimize business and residential displacement.
• Maximize environmental compatibility by using existing
transportation corridor. -a
• Minimize inequities created by a BART extension.
• Preserve maximum open space.
• Minimize valley population growth, while not restraining growth.
• Maximize economic development of existing centers in the valley.
• Maximize economic development at point of connection to existing
BART line.
• Minimize local government costs.
• Maximize compatibility with existing General Plans.
• Maximize compatibility with existing BART system and with other
potential transit extensions.

4.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed rail alignment is within existing rail and roadway
corridors along most of its route. The proposed alignment would start at
the existing BART Bay Fair Station in San Leandro and travel southward to
Interstate 238, turn eastward and follow--t-238 to its junction with -
Interstate 580, and then continue eastward-'in the median of Interstate 580
through Dublin Canyon to the Dublin/Pleasanton area. The proposed project
includes:
• Route alignment design options
• Passenger stations in Castro Valley, West Dublin/Pleasanton and an
alternative station in East Dublin/Pleasanton
• A tail track and track turnouts
• A maintenance facility
• Utility service and substations
• Possible Joint Development scenarios at station sites
• An interim park/ride facility at_the West Dublin/Pleasanton —
Station site
• Possible interface with other transit and roadway projects
Impacts will be analyzed as they relate eo the construction and operation
of the project and to various phasing and operating scenarios for service
levels in the years 1995, 2000, and 2005._ Scheduling and cumulative
impacts of the proposed BART extension with other projects and plans in the
area, including highway and local road improvements proposed by Caltrans
and individual communities, will also be addressed in the EIR. Major
development plans around planned stations-rill be considered in the EIR as _
a part of the cumulative impact analysis. Separate environmental documents
are being prepared by Caltrans for proposed highway projects.
4
4.1 Proposed Alignment
Preliminary engineering designs are being developed for the alignment
for the route between Bay Fair and Dublin/Pleasanton. Each design option
will be assessed in the EIR. For clarity of presentation, the alignment
has been divided into segments and lettered in sequence from west to
east. These segments are identified on F-igure 2. Table 2 describes the -
design and location options and station plans being considered for each
segment.
Segment A: Fremont Line-Dublin/Pleasanton Line Junction at Existing Bay
Fair Station. Segment A extends from the:Bay Fair Station southeasterly to
Elgin Street and contains the proposed track connections between the DPX
and the existing Fremont Line. A configuration of braided, separated
tracks, with turnouts connecting into the present two-track line leading to _
Bay Fair, is proposed to accommodate design options for transfer service at
Bay Fair as well as "through" service. Both at-grade and elevated design
options are being considered.
The existing "pocket" or storage track (third track) just south of Bay
Fair would be utilized as a lead for the DPX. The southerly stub end of
the track would be connected to the existing Fremont main lines, thereby
allowing access to and from the south. A"replacement storage track would
also be constructed.
Segment B: I-238 Corridor from Lynn Court to I-580 (Castro Valley) . The
BART alignment and profile options through the I-238 interchange have been
designed to be compatible with I-238' s existing narrow configuration as
well as to accommodate possible future wi*ning of the highway by _
Caltrans. Within Segment B, BART may run on either the north or south side
of existing I-238.
In both the southern and northern design options, BART would run on an
aerial structure in order to cross the I-238 ramps at Mission Boulevard.
5
The southern design option would require a subway or aerial structure to
cross I-238 west of Mission Boulevard. The northern design option may
require the acquisition of right-of-way that would not otherwise be
necessary for the reconstruction of I-238. In either case, extensive use
must be made of aerial or subway construction in order to be compatible
with both existing and future highway characteristics in this corridor -
segment. BART is coordinating with Caltrans engineering on design options
for this segment to ensure that BART designs would not preclude future
highway modification while still allowing BART to proceed with the
extension project on schedule.
Segment C: I-580 Corridor from I-238 (Castro Valley) to Foothill Road
(Dublin/Pleasanton) . East of the East 14th Street overcrossing, BART would
reach the same grade as the I-238 freeway and would continue in the 80-
foot-wide freeway median at-grade through Dublin Canyon to Foothill Road
with aerial sections at stream and road crossings. The entire I-580
segment is designed by Caltrans to allow 80 mph operation with a horizontal
curvature of 3040 feet and a maximum 3.4 percent grade. Major portions of -
I-580 have been completed, while other portions are still under
construction.
Segment D: I-580 Corridor from Foothill-'itoad to East of I-680. This
segment contains two design options, both within the same general alignment
along I-580. Differences are associated with the placement of the BART
tracks relative to the freeway lanes. Similar to the I-238 interchange,
close coordination between BART engineers and Caltrans is required for this
segment to maximize future design flexibility for freeway modifications
while maintaining BART' s schedule. Also. included in this segment would be
a tail track option for BART.
D-1: Median/At-Grade Design Option. ''The existing freeway median from
west of Foothill Road to several hundred feet east of Foothill Road is
80 feet wide. This median width is adequate to accommodate BART without
6
modification to the travel lanes. Further east of Foothill Road, the
existing I-580 would need to be widened to allow the BART station and tail
track to fit at-grade in the median. The proposed 'Test Dublin/Pleasanton
Station would be located in the median between Foothill Road and I-680,
connected to parking areas on either side of I-580 by pedestrian
overpasses.
D-2: Median/Aerial Design Option. For this option BART would run in
the existing I-580 median on an aerial structure between Foothill Road and
the I-580/I-680 Interchange. Consideration will be given in the EIR to the
possibility of future direct freeway flyover ramps from southbound I-680 to
eastbound I-580 and from northbound I-680-to westbound I-580. For this
option the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station would be located on an
aerial structure in the I-580 median with provision for parking on both
sides of the freeway. Crossover, turnback, and storage tracks would be
located west of the station.
4.2 Alignment Extension for the Third Station Alternative -
Segment E: I-580 Corridor from East of I-680 to the Location of the East
Dublin/Pleasanton Station Alternative. Within this segment, BART would
continue to be in the existing I-580 median at-grade. This would require
widening the freeway by one lane either t6 the north or south. Design
options at the Hopyard Road Interchange will be assessed for this segment
.including possible freeway widening.
Segment F: I-580 Corridor from the East Dublin/Pleasanton Station
Alternative to End of Tail Tracks. BART would continue to run at-grade in
the median of I-580 in this segment. The-_f-reeway would be widened on _
either one or both sides of I-580 to accommodate BART tracks.
4.3 Proposed Stations •`__
Two stations are proposed for the DPX project: one in Castro Valley
and one in West Dublin/Pleasanton. A third station alternative in East
7
Dublin/Pleasanton is being considered by BART as the terminus for the
extension in response to potential parking and traffic issues related to
projected ridership forecasts. Previously completed patronage studies were
used to develop conceptual designs and parking requirements for each of the
station locations. The 1987 patronage projections will be re-evaluated and
revised as necessary to determine right-of-way and acquisition needs and
parking requirements for each station site. Conceptual designs, including
station access routes, surface parking or parking structure, and required
acres for each station will be refined during concurrent preliminary
engineering through consultation with local jurisdictions. An interim
park/ride facility and design options of an at-grade or elevated station
will be assessed for the West Dublin/Plea-santon Station location. Joint
development scenarios at proposed station sites will also be addressed to
include potential joint use of BART property for retail , office, and
commercial services.
Castro Valley Station. The Castro Valley Station site is located on the
northwest quadrant of the intersection of Redwood Road and Norbridge _
Avenue. This site was adopted subsequent to a detailed evaluation of
alternatives by BART and Alameda County staff as well as extensive public
review. The conceptual station plan identified that an estimated 12 acres
would be needed for the station and parking; 9.7 acres of the Castro Valley
site is currently owned by BART.
Previous studies projected about 6320 daily one-way passengers to or
from the Castro Valley Station by year 2005. This patronage estimate is
lower than other stations considered, and reflects the resident population
within walking distance of the station and the relatively high percentage
of transit use anticipated at the station. Based on this initial
projection, a need for about 1000 parking spaces by year 2005 was
identified. .Z
8
West Dublin/Pleasanton Station. The proposed West Dublin/Pleasanton
Station would be located in the I-580 median between Foothill Road and
I-680. Parking areas would be both the north and south sides of the
freeway in the cities of Dublin and Pleasanton. Pedestrian access from the
parking and transit loading areas to the station would be via a pedestrian
bridge over I-580. —_
In initial studies, the West Dublin/Pleasanton Station was projected to
attract about 18,090 daily one-way passenger trips to or from the station
by year 2005. These projections assume that the bulk of the southerly San
Ramon Valley corridor BART trips would use the West Dublin/Pleasanton
Station. With development of the San Ramon Valley corridor transit service
to a transfer station at the East Dublin/Pleasanton Station site to the
east, some of the West Dublin/Pleasanton Station ridership would shift to
the other station.
The initial studies indicated the need for 3400 parking spaces by the
year 2005 if this station serves as the DPX terminus. BART has acquired a _
total of 16 acres at this site, 7 acres in Dublin, and 9 acres in
Pleasanton, for the proposed Dublin/Pleasanton Park/Ride Project. This
interim facility was planned to accommodate 1400 parking spaces. The
additional 2000 or more parking spaces regpuired for the station would have
to be accommodated. If the third station alternative is implemented, the
parking requirement for the West Dublin/Pleasanton Station is estimated to
be 1300 spaces.
4.4 East Dublin/Pleasanton Station Alternative
The alternative East Dublin/Pleasanton Station would be located in the
I-580 median between the Hopyard Road interchange and the future Hacienda
Drive interchange. The conceptual station layout has been designed to
accommodate transfers between BART and a possible transit system for the •
San Ramon Valley along the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way. The
conceptual layout utilizes the railroad undercrossing for pedestrian access
to the station platform.
9
Earlier studies showed that the East Dublin/Pleasanton Station was
projected to attract 12,010 daily trips to or from the station. It is
estimated that up to 2500 parking spaces would be needed by year 2005.
This does not include possible park-and-ride demand for San Ramon Valley
corridor transit service should this also.-serve the station.
A total of 30 acres accommodating 3000 parking spaces, has been
previously identified for the BART station. This would accommodate the
projected 2500 space demand projected for BART users, plus an additional
500 spaces which may be required at this 'site to accommodate the San Ramon
Valley transit system.
4.5 Yard And Maintenance Facilities -
A 350-foot maintenance space would be constructed to the east of the
terminus station within the turnback track area. The maintenance facility
would include a 25-foot by 50-foot storage structure, with access from
adjacent local streets. Two maintenance-of-way access points would also be —
constructed along the alignment.
4.6 DPX Operational Plan
The planned extension would be desigrfbd to operate as through service.
BART will develop operating scenarios for the two-station extension and
the third station alternative for the years 1995, 2000, and 2005, in
conjunction with the results of revised patronage projections.
