The station was originally planned to enter into service as part of the original extension to Dublin/Pleasanton, which entered service in 1997. As a result, the station's foundation, along with some communication and train control facilities, already existed on-site.

West Dublin/Pleasanton station is a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station on the border of Dublin and Pleasanton in California, located in the median of I-580. The station is served by the Blue Line. It has a single island platform between the highway travel lanes with a fare mezzanine above. Pedestrian bridges on both sides of the station connect it to a pair of parking garages and surrounding development. It opened as an infill station on February 19, 2011 — fourteen years after the rest of the Dublin/Pleasanton extension.

History

Station construction in May 2009

Original plans in the late 1980s called for a station in West Dublin, with an East Dublin station near the Hacienda Business Park to be added later; however, by the early 1990s the order was reversed, and only Dublin/Pleasanton station opened in 1997.[2] BART began negotiating in April 1998 with LaSalle Partners to construct the West Dublin/Pleasanton station with private funding, and an agreement was signed the next year.[2][3]

Groundbreaking for the station was held on September 29, 2006.[2] The station was originally scheduled to be completed in 2009, but it was delayed due to structural issues with the pedestrian bridges.[4] The $106 million station, which was funded largely by private money and by proceeds of planned transit-oriented development (TOD) on adjacent BART-owned property, opened on February 19, 2011.[5]

The first phase of the TOD, a 309-unit residential building, opened in 2013 on the Dublin (north) side of the station. The second phase, a 410,000-square-foot (38,000 m2) office building on the Pleasanton (south) side, was completed in 2019. As of 2024, a third phase with 300 residential units on the Dublin side is planned.[6][7]

Bus connections

Dublin/Pleasanton station is the primary bus terminal for the region; West Dublin/Pleasanton is only served by six WHEELS routes. Routes 3, 4 and 30R stop at the north parking garage; routes 3, 70X and 53 stop on Stoneridge Mall Road near the south parking garage.[8][9]
