As downtown residents patiently waited for the BART extension, this is bad news that we do not want to see:
"The 6-mile, four-station BART extension, which will run from Berryessa Transit Center in North San Jose, through downtown and to Santa Clara, has been several decades in the making, with repeated delays and cost overruns fueling uncertainty. In 2014, the project was expected to cost $4.7 billion and open in 2026, but the latest estimates now peg the price tag at $12.75 billion with a 2037 opening."
The report said the agency has failed to manage financial risks and an oversight committee hasn’t held staff accountable.
