West Dublin/Pleasanton station is a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) facility situated on the dividing line between Dublin and Pleasanton, California. Positioned within the median of I-580, this station is part of the Blue Line service. It consists of a single island platform nestled between highway lanes, with a fare mezzanine located above. Access to parking structures and nearby developments is provided via pedestrian bridges. The station commenced operations as an infill station on February 19, 2011, fourteen years following the Dublin/Pleasanton extension.
History
During the late 1980s, initial proposals included a station at West Dublin, with plans for an East Dublin station near Hacienda Business Park emerging later. By the early 1990s, only the Dublin/Pleasanton station was constructed and opened in 1997. In April 1998, BART entered into discussions with LaSalle Partners regarding private financing for the West Dublin/Pleasanton station, culminating in a finalized agreement in 1999.
Construction began on September 29, 2006. Although initially scheduled for completion in 2009, the $106 million development encountered delays attributed to structural complications with pedestrian bridges. The project was predominantly financed through private investment combined with planned transit-oriented development (TOD) on adjacent BART land. The station officially opened on February 19, 2011.
The TOD initiative launched with the construction of a 309-unit residential complex on the Dublin side in 2013. This was followed by the completion of an office building on the Pleasanton side in 2019. As of 2024, plans are underway for a third phase involving the addition of 300 residential units on the Dublin side.
Bus connections
While Dublin/Pleasanton station functions as the main bus hub for the area, West Dublin/Pleasanton is served by six routes operated by Wheels. Routes 3, 4, and 30R have stops at the north parking garage, whereas routes 3, 70X, and 53 serve stops along Stoneridge Mall Road adjacent to the south parking garage.
