Lafayette BART to get Solar Panels

Local BART director Gail Murray reported to the council that solar panel arrays will be installed over two of the four Lafayette BART station parking lots, covering 400 to 500 spaces. The work will be performed by Solar City. Installation is expected to begin in December and be finished by March 2017. Currently, the only station with a large solar panel installation is Warm Springs, which has not yet opened.
Although there will be some closures while the work is being performed, no parking spaces will be lost as a result of the construction. One byproduct of the work is that water that now drains into Happy Valley Creek will be captured and kept on the BART station property.
Council Member Don Tatzin suggested that BART consider reserving the parking spaces closest to the station for the use of carpoolers.
