Pleasant Hill parking garage elevators undergo modernization through 2018

Update: June 22, 2017

Due to a catastrophic failure of one of the elevator's electronic controller drive system, it was removed from service in February 2017 pending an elevator modernization. Working with our partners at the Contra Costa County Transportation Authority, an elevator modernization project has recently been funded and a bid was approved 6/22/2017 by the BART Board of Directors. 

Each of the four elevators in this group will be modernized one at a time starting in September 2017. The work will upgrade critical components of the elevators, and allow for new technology, better performance, improved efficiency, and safety. The work should be completed by September, 2018.

We apologize for the poor reliability and great inconvenience this bank of elevators has caused you and appreciate your patience and understanding during this project.
