Security grille replacement at 12th St/Oakland City Center Station new start date: May 7

On March 18 of this year we closed two entrances at this station in preparation for the installation of new security grilles. Unfortunately due to a defect in manufacturing, the grilles had to be returned to the manufacturer for repair. We have kept the entrances closed for other maintenance work.

After May 7, 2013 we will remove and replace security grilles at all the entrances to this station. The replacement work will be done on a rotating basis and will involve no more than two entrances (at opposite sides of the station) at a time. Each entrance will be closed for approximately two weeks while the work is completed.

The location and approximate dates of the entrance closures are noted on the passenger bulletin (.pdf), which you can download for more details.

We realize that this will cause you inconvenience and appreciate your patience during this important maintenance work.
