That seems.....like a very incorrect take?
------------
Bridges in Livermore look to be of similar design to what exists on the section where BART does run, the center posts are not an issue, and there are center posts on every overpass of the BART tracks. Look at the overpasses to the east/west of the current terminus, for example.
Livermore's government has been advocating for bringing BART service further, has been frustrated by BART shooting down the extension proposal: https://www.bart.gov/about/projects/liv https://www.bart.gov/about/projects/liv
Further, after the extension proposal was shot down, they were the ones that pushed for the creation of a new transit entity to build a connecting service, and have been a substantial portion of what's pushing the project forward. And it's planned to run on I-580 in Livermore, so clearly they don't seem to think the bridges are a problem.

None of their actions seem to be transit-hostile to me.
- masonic 6y agoIt's not only false, it's offensive. Livermore, like the rest of the 680 corridor in Alameda county, has been paying full BART taxes for two generations with no service.
