Downtown San José station


Downtown San José station is a proposed underground Bay Area Rapid Transit station underneath Santa Clara Street in Downtown San Jose. The station would be co-located with the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority's existing Santa Clara light rail station and connect to the proposed Santa Clara BART station and existing Richmond and Daly City BART stations. It would be preceded by the proposed 28th Street/Little Portugal station. Revenue service is envisioned to start in 2029–2030.

History

The original plan for the Silicon Valley BART extension included the Downtown San José station, but full funding could not be secured
and the San Jose extension was split into two phases. Phase I, completed on June 13, 2020, was the extension to Berryessa/North San José station.
The proposed Downtown San José station is part of a later, unfunded phase II of the Silicon Valley BART extension and would be located between the proposed 28th Street/Little Portugal and Diridon BART stations. Construction is planned to begin in 2022, and revenue service to start in 2029–2030.
