It is unacceptable that BART does not have plans to build on any of the parking lots in Lafayette. Done well, this is the least disruptive and most transit-friendly option for our Housing Element and these lots are dramatically underused today. Ridership remains well below pre-COVID levels and we are seeing our parking lots used by commuters from Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek and even Danville. This is the opposite of smart transit planning and burdens our roads with traffic at almost no benefit to our community. If our representative does not support this common sense idea, we should organize and support a candidate who does.
