BART Station Design Requirements

In preparation for our final project, please find the email below from Jani along with the link to the Station Design Requirements:

Attached are some design requirements that I received from the VTA regarding what is needed to design the station. Also, after looking at the Figure D-8 section, the parking structure is set back away from the station. Valerie’s design of the pedestrian crossing may work. We can discuss it if is not clear, but in those packets you got earlier in the program look at Figure D-7 (plan view) and Figure D-8 (cross-section view) for the Berryessa Station and you will understand.

Kevin’s idea about a wall on the outside of the station is an idea to reduce noise, so if anyone has some time think about ways that can reduce noise around a train station. We can use these ideas as bullet points for some “green” ideas. As for the Right of way Issue, we can assume that it is 100 feet, therefore there will be enough room to place all the features we want.

There was thought about some commercial properties within the station area, so think about how you want to configure that within the latest design.

If you don’t have time to create more renderings, find some photos that will express your point. If you want to use the photos that we collected from other stations, we can incorporate that into the presentation.
