BART SYSTEM MODERNIZATION AND <br />EXPANSION ($710 M) <br />The capital projects funded as part of the BART <br />System Modernization and Expansion investments <br />include projects that increase the capacity and utility <br />of the existing system, as well as providing local <br />funding for a proposed BART extension in the <br />eastern part of the county. <br />BART to Livermore ($400 M) <br />This project funds the first phase of a BART <br />Extension within the I-580 Corridor freeway <br />alignment to the vicinity of the I-580/Isabel Avenue <br />interchange using the most effective and efficient <br />technology. Funds for construction for any element of <br />this first phase project shall not be used until full <br />funding commitments are identified and approved, <br />and a project -specific environmental clearance is <br />obtained. The project -specific environmental process <br />will include a detailed alternative assessment of all <br />fundable and feasible alternatives, and be consistent <br />with mandates, policies and guidance of federal, <br />state, and regional agencies that have jurisdiction <br />over the environmental and project development <br />process. <br />BART System Modernization and Capacity <br />Enhancements ($310 M) <br />BART projections indicate that its system will need to <br />carry over 700,000 daily riders by the end of this plan <br />period. New riders will affect the capacity of existing <br />systems and stations, requiring focused capacity <br />enhancements to keep the system moving as <br />ridership increases occur. <br />• The Bay Fair Connector/BART METRO project <br />will receive $100 M in sales tax funds for the <br />Alameda County portion of this project which <br />will increase capacity and operational flexibility <br />systemwide. One goal of these improvements <br />will be to improve connections to jobs in the <br />southern part of the county and beyond as Santa <br />Clara County builds its own BART extension. <br />The BART Station Modernization and Capacity <br />Program will receive $90 M for improvements at <br />all BART stations in Alameda County, <br />addressing station site, building envelope, <br />escalator and elevator rehabilitation/replacement, <br />circulation & wayfinding, air conditioning, <br />lighting & ambient environment, station <br />reliability upgrades, and other station equipment <br />replacement/upgrades. <br />The Irvington BART Station will receive $120 <br />M to provide an infill station on the soon -to -open <br />Warm Springs extension south of the existing <br />Fremont Station, creating new accessibility to <br />BART in the southern part of the County. <br />
