BART Ramp Access Partially Remedied

The handicapped ramp issue reported on in the October 12 issue, Handicapped Ramp Inaccessible to Disabled BART Patrons, is now partially remedied. The south side of the BART station had a $2 million ramp completed in April, but until relatively recently there were no curb cuts or handicapped parking spots for folks with mobility issues to get to the fancy new switchback ramp leading to the station. Now there is a curb cut, with adjacent 'no parking' space outlined in red, but there are still no handicapped parking spots in that lot. On a recent day, the curb cut didn't look that welcoming with construction cones and yellow tape nearby. BART spokesperson Jim Allison reported that the handicapped parking requirement for the station had already been met with conveniently located spots in the north lot, a short and flat distance from the station.
