Warm Springs will be an at-grade BART station in Fremont. Construction on the station began in fall 2010; it is scheduled to open in late 2015.[1]

This station is the southern end of the BART Warm Springs BART extension, a project to add 5.4 miles (8.7 km) of new tracks from the existing Fremont BART station, including a subway under man-made Lake Elizabeth and Fremont Central Park. After the subway portion, the line will parallel the existing at-grade right-of-way belonging to Union Pacific. Major crossings of both Union Pacific and BART, such as Paseo Padre Parkway and Washington Boulevard, will be grade-separated in collaboration with the City of Fremont.

The project includes an option for a station in Irvington, between Fremont and Warm Springs stations, but this station is currently not funded.

Construction of the underground portions of the train line are expected to be completed in late 2012, with the station opening in late 2015.

The station will have an at-grade island platform with an overhead concourse, transit connections to AC Transit and VTA, 2000 parking spots, taxi stands, and drop-off zones.[2][3]

BART plans to begin construction on an extension to San José from the Warm Springs station in summer 2012, with Milpitas and Berryessa stations planned to open in 2018.

In 2011 the city of Fremont approved $US 90,000 to hire a lobbyist to prevent Union Pacific from opening a new rail yard on property it bought adjacent to the station. If this happened it is believed that transit oriented development would not be feasible.[4]
