Neighbors Want a BART Stop in San Antonio
It's one of the most densely populated parts of the Bay Area. BART goes right through it. So why not stop there?

San Antonio in Oakland is one of the densest neighborhoods in the Bay Area, with about 16,000 people per square mile. It has a BART line—trains going from San Francisco and downtown Oakland to Berryessa and Dublin/Pleasant shoot right through. But while residents of San Antonio and the surrounding communities can see and hear BART, they can't easily take it.
"There's no BART station for the almost three miles between Fruitvale and Lake Merritt," said ten-year-San Antonio resident Ben Matlaw and a member of the advocacy group San Antonio Station Alliance (SASA), in an interview with Streetsblog. "They're expanding BART into the exurbs, to new, far-flung developments, but what about the dense neighborhoods that already exist?" SASA members want a new BART station at Oakland's 14th Avenue. "It's at grade, so it should be cheaper to build a station there," said Matlaw.
...
Adding a new BART station may sound like transit "pie in the sky," but Matlaw said it is being considered as part of the planning process for the Link21 project, a multi-billion dollar effort to greatly expand transit throughout the region. "I think the most encouraging news we heard recently is that Link21 has stated publicly [that a] San Antonio station will still be considered as an infill priority," wrote Rowley.
