At the April 16, 2026 BPAC meeting, BART staff will present Safe Trips to BART: An Action Plan for Safer Roadways. This plan identifies investments that could reduce or eliminate traffic deaths and severe injuries, primarily transportation infrastructure improvements on public roadways found on the High Injury Network around BART Station Study Areas. Agencies can get public support for right-sizing streets by highlighting BART’s service as another mobility option. Additionally, this plan includes a Focus Station Area Action Plan for Coliseum Station.
An excerpt is below, followed by the full presentation and Coliseum Focus Station Area Action Plan.
At the June 16, 2022 BPAC meeting, OakDOT Transportation Planners Charlie Ream and Celina Chan presented on two projects, the 66th Ave Coliseum BART to Bay Trail project (this post) and the Laurel Access to Mills, Maxwell Park & Seminary (LAMMPS) – Phase 2 project.
These projects and the 27th St Bay Pl Project which was heard at the May BPAC meeting was submitted as One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) applications for the June 30, 2022 deadline. Staff requested the commission review the checklists attached for each of the three projects and share comments back to Charlie Ream by June 23, 2022.
