There was a study previously conducted on how to connect Jack London with the downtown core. Various options were studied, including a BART infill station somewhere between West Oakland and 12th Street stations. While technically possible, it was deemed too expensive. I wonder if there’s enough value now via perhaps a taxing district in the vicinity of a potential new infill station to help finance it? Though land and construction is certainly more expensive now than back in 2004 when this study was conducted. https://www.bart.gov/sites/default/f...asibility1.pdf

Ultimately whenever the Bay Area finally funds a second Bay crossing, the line would likely include a station in the vicinity of Jack London. Of course that could be decades away, so it isn’t of much value to transportation concerns of today.
