19th St/Oakland Station Modernization
BART is advancing the second round of the Station Modernization Program, which will invest resources 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 design and construction estimates for 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.
The Station is estimated to be under construction beginning in the summer of 2016 and ending in late 2017.

and of the three vertical
staircases.
Benches - Upgrade station seating, provide more efficient use of benches,
repair damaged brick and modernize the aesthetic

Sustainability - Incorporate sustainable materials and technologies into the station to increase the life-cycle value of the station’s infrastructure and to conserve natural resources and protect the public investment
Lighting Concept- The entire station lighting will be re-lamped to energy
efficient LED fixtures with smart controllers
- Accent lighting will be used within the atria to increase
the visibility between the concourse and the upper platform
- The blue tile will be emphasized by blue accent lighting at
station entries and waiting spaces, creating visual interest
and sense of identity

The guardrails and fare barriers will be constructed of glass to improve the visibility and aesthetic. The safety glass will have a design on the inter layer; the image is both transparent and mirrors its surrounding.
Better BART … Better Oakland
Art and Design have been integrated throughout the improvements to enliven the station, reflect the character of the surrounding community, and contribute to passenger wayfinding. Building off of the Uptown’s arts and entertainment character, BART has defined a design theme of “Performance; Past Present and Future” for the 19th St/Oakland Station. This theme is meant to embrace the history of the area as a well as reflect the communities existing character. The design theme will be integrated into the architectural features of the station, such as the fare barriers, guard rails, painting; and also be the inspiration for the public call for art.
Vibrancy - Reflect the energy of the surrounding community and enhance the station’s existing strengths

Additional Projects - BART is currently advancing engineering and design documents of additional projects. BART and the City are partnering to pursue leveraging outside funding opportunities
20th Street Complete Streets Project the City of Oakland
BART is currently advancing the engineering and design of two new elevators at the northern end of the station in order to improve the universal design of the station and to improve the multi-modal connections between the station and the AC Transit’s Uptown Transit Center on 20th Street. The project includes additional faregates adjacent to the new elevator and proposed re-opened entrance to the “Sears Building,” reconfigured faregates, and a new station agent booth.

Future Call for ArtistsPermanent Art in Three Stairwells- BART will be soliciting public art for the wall areas at the three stairwells shown below. These would be permanent light box art pieces related to the stations design theme and representative of the surrounding community.
Art InspirationWhat would you want to see as potential inspiration or themes to be incorporated into new art at 19th Street Station? Answer below or Twitter: #BART19thSt
Temporary and Permanent Art in Old Phone Booths- The old pay phone booths at each end of the station offer unique opportunities to reflect on the vibrant visual arts scene in Oakland. BART will convert some of these into a series of display spaces that can be offered to local artist groups for programming and rotation.
- The spaces could also incorporate permanent two-dimensional work to ensure the areas remain aesthetically appealing in between temporary displays.
