ASHBY (BART STATION)

(Redirected from Ashby (BART))

'Ashby Station' is a Bay Area Rapid Transit station, located at Ashby Avenue and Adeline Street in the southern part of Berkeley, California. It consists of an underground island platform. The station was originally planned to be elevated but the City of Berkeley paid the extra cost to have it built underground.
The station has 600 automobile parking spaces in two separate parking lots, 24 motorcycle spaces, 36 bike lockers, and 147 bike rack spaces. Access mode shares (2002) were: 40% pedestrian, 38% automobile (parked), 9% automobile (dropped-off), 8% bicycle, and 6% transit.^[1]
Unique in the BART system, the City of Berkeley, rather than BART, controls the air rights on the parking lots. The west parking lot of the station hosts a popular flea market on weekends; a proposed residential development over the west lot has proven locally controversial. The east parking lot is the planned site of the Ed Roberts Campus development.
Service at this station began on January 29, 1973.^[2]
