1 Understand the setting, concerns of stakeholders and BART riders, and the relationship of project elements and setting.
Explore the viability of project elements:• New Side Platforms
• Platform Screen Doors
• Additional Elevator
• Pedestrian Connection to Transbay Terminal
• Direct BART-MUNI Transfer
Identify implementation and phasing issues.

UNDERSTANDING THE EXISTING CONDITIONS & C APACIT Y CHALLENGES
Platforms get crowded during peak evening commute times.
BART’s two busiest stations are Embarcadero and Montgomery.
The number of BART riders has been steadily increasing and ridership growth is expected to continue.
Planning Context
The demand for BART during peak morning hours is forecast to continually increase. Above is a preview of the year 2025.
Long lines develop at stairs and escalators
during peak morning commute times.

Word cloud created from words most mentioned in the 2,746 individually written comments received for both stations combined. (The bigger the word, more often it was mentioned).
GREAT IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS!
THANK YOU for providing survey feedback!
All your comments and priorities were reviewed and considered in
the planning process.
Survey Results: Your Top Priorities for both stations Station Environment Station Access Capacity Improvements
Real-time train arrival displays at street and concourse levels (81%)Canopies to protect entrances(54%)Clearer public announcements (50%)
More cleaning (70%)More safety patrols/enforcement (47%)Additional or improved lighting (36%)
Additional platforms to relieve crowding (73%)Faster escalators (65%)Reducing clutter on platforms (56%)
How your feedback was considered in the Recommended Capacity + Modernization Plans:
Embarcadero Montgomery
• Improve station environment: > Cleanliness and brightening
• Better Information: > Better signage, more Real-time infor-mation on concourse and at street level
More frequent service, longer trains Will be implemented incrementally as new railcars are delivered to increase BART’s fleet size, and as a new train control system is in-stalled.
• Improve passenger flow during rush hours: > Additional street entrances, new stairs, escalators, elevators
• Improve elevator redundancy and reliability: > Larger, BART-dedicated elevator for existing platform and 2 elevators per side platform
• Reduce platform crowding: > Reorganization of platform elements to reduce clutter and create more space, new side platform
• Better space planning: > Expanded paid areas, free circulation between all entrances at concourse level, new retail/amenity space
BART• held 4 in-station public information events

CAPACITY PHASING AND IMPLEMENTATION (as funding becomes available)Analysis and review of ways to improve capacity has resulted in a list of specific projects and a general timeframe for implementation pending funding. Next steps are integration with the station modernization effort and seeking funds.

New side platformsNew stairs, escalators, and elevators would also be added to access the new side platforms.

Embarcadero east- and westbound
Montgomery eastbound only
Montgomery: new stairs and elevatorsA new elevator to the MUNI platform, additional stairs and escalators, replaced platform seating, to reduce platform crowding.
Early wins Real-time information, different seating and relocating the janitorial closet creates more platform space.
Creating better access and more flow: Construct more stairs next to existing escalators and add another platform elevator
• Relocate existing zigzag stairs to end of platform
• Construct new elevator for primary BART use
• Modify existing elevator for primary MUNI use
