Irvington station

Irvington is a proposed Bay Area Rapid Transit station in southern Fremont, California, and an optional part of the Warm Springs BART extension.[1] Since secure funding for this proposed infill station has not been committed, its schedule has not been defined.

History

The Warm Springs extension is under construction through the Irvington District, located between the Fremont and Warm Springs stations. A station in Irvington was originally planned as part of this extension; however, funding could not be secured and it is only being partially developed until the funds can be put together.

The city of Fremont had planned to finance the $140 million station through redevelopment agency bonds in 2009. However, due to governor Jerry Brown's proposed elimination of these funds, the plan was put on hold.[2] In 2011, it became clear that redevelopment was off the table when the California State Legislature voted to cut the agency down. As of 2013, it was not certain whether the station would be built, and some of the required land had not been purchased.[3]

The Irvington BART station had originally been scheduled for completion in late 2015, but as of 2013 the city of Fremont had not secured funding for the station.[4] In 2014, Measure BB and the Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan received voter approval with $120 million listed for the Irvington BART station that was contingent on full definition of the capital project and its inclusion in a future Capital Improvement Program. The City of Fremont is sponsoring planning studies for the proposed station.[5][6][7]
