Broadway Valdez Specific Plan the City of Oakland

The Broadway Valdez District will be a new, re-imagined 21st Century neighborhood. A “complete” neighborhood that supports socially and economically sustainable mixed use development; increases the generation and capture of local sales tax revenue; celebrates the cultural and architectural influences of the neighborhood’s past and present-day prosperity, and implements a “green,” “transit-first” strategy that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and the use of non-renewable resources.

Public space features could include a combination of various types of planted areas, shade structures, lighting features, and potentially DIY elements.

Existing Proposed

BART is embarking on a Station Modernization Program that will invest resources and efforts into the existing core stations and surrounding areas to advance transit ridership and enhance the quality of life around the stations. As part of our Station Modernization effort, BART is currently developing a conceptual redesign of the 19th St/Oakland Station. The goal of the project is to develop potential station improvements to upgrade and modernize the station’s function, safety, capacity, sustainability, appearance, and improve the customer experience.

ART & PLACEMAKINGWork with the community and City of Oakland to develop a street level gateway between BART and Uptown/Broadway Valdez neighborhoods at the 20th Street entrances

Use art throughout the station to enliven and attract activity to underutilized areas of the station, specifically the northern and southern most ends of the platform to improve capacity

Integrate art that is functional and relates to the vibrancy of the surrounding area, including the 17th Street alley installation, and station area cultural destinations such as the Lake Merritt, Fairyland, and the the Paramount and Fox theatres

Utilize the areas where the concourse is open to the upper platform for large scale art that unites the concourse to the platforms

Integrate vendor and retail opportunities into the station concourse level

COMMUNICATIONImprove public address system

Work with AC Transit to develop a real-time multimodal transit display at the NW 20th Street corner of the concourse

Integrate real-time transit information at concourse, platform, and street level

Upgrade platform identification signage

Develop a system to communicate real-time energy usage and savings information and CO2 saved through ridership

Vibrancy - Reflect the energy of the surrounding community and enhance the station’s existing strengths
