The cost and complexity of extending BART to Livermore means project construction could be up to 20 years away. However, the extension could begin impacting property values and property rights much sooner.

Bay East staff provided comments at the workshop asking BART to consider the impact that the planning process, let alone the construction and operation of the extension, will have on residential real estate.
