may have to cooperatively police the station. The lack of a full-time station agent has resulted in security issues after opening. A station agent booth was later added; the station began to be staffed on March 22, 2021.
BART anticipated the station would serve 1,575 round trips per day based upon a supposed opening in 2015. Two weeks following the beginning of service in 2018, ridership was observed to be about 3,000 round trips per day, overloading the station's parking facilities and causing riders to illegally park nearby. The station has 1,012 parking spaces. Soon after opening, the agency began planning an additional 1,600 parking space facility north of the station site. In October 2018, BART announced plans for a $16.4 million, 800-space lot east of the station, which would open in 2020. In November 2019, the BART board approved a $9.9 million contract for an 850-space lot. The new lot opened on November 30, 2021.
A 2018 study recommended a footbridge to the south side of State Route 4, as well as improvements to bicycle and pedestrian access.Appendices
