Commuters who use the Orinda Bay Area Regional Transit (BART) parking lots may want to think about walking, biking, or finding a ride to the station this summer. Starting in early June, the parking lots of the Orinda BART station will be repaved and re-striped. The total number of available parking spaces will be reduced by an average of 235 spaces a day for up to twelve weeks until the project is completed.
"There will be an impact on parking, but it is less significant at this time of year because BART ridership is lower in June and July as compared to other times of year," says Linton Johnson, Chief Spokesman for BART. Still, Linton encourages parkers to consider using alternate transportation to get to the Orinda station or using another station if they have to drive.
The Orinda BART repavement project will be completed in six phases lasting for one to two weeks each. Monthly parkers will be relocated to other reserved parking areas during the project. The order that the paving phases will be completed is yet to be determined.
