Antioch station (BART)
railway station in Antioch, California
Antioch station is a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station on the Yellow Line. It is located in the median of Highway 4 at Hillcrest Avenue in Antioch, California. Antioch station is the eastern terminus of the BART to Antioch (eBART) section of the line.
History
The station is expected to attract passengers from Oakley, Brentwood, and Discovery Bay, communities that were envisioned as part of the original eBART extension but could not be included due to cost. BART planned to extend service southeast to Brentwood and upgrade the extension to full BART service while pushing the DMU portion further out. Initially planned to open in 2016, the station's service date was delayed until May 26, 2018.
Preliminary designs called for a station without an agent present, nor restrooms or escalators. This prompted concern from the community and the plans were redesigned to add these features, however the station will only have one employee present at any given time, one agent or one maintenance worker at a time. An extra police beat will be added. This caused concern among Antioch residents and the Antioch Police Department may have to cooperatively police the station.
