History

Service at Pleasant Hill station began on May 21, 1973.[1]

A second parking garage opened at the station on June 30, 2008.[3] The former surface parking lot was converted into the Contra Costa Centre transit village. On September 23, 2010, the BART Board voted to change the station name to Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre.[4] The name change was supported by the transit village developer and the Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency, but opposed by the city of Pleasant Hill.[5][6] The Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency and the developer paid the $413,800 cost of changing station signage and system maps.[6]

An improved access path to the station better connecting it with the Iron Horse Regional Trail was proposed before the Walnut Creek city council on July 15, 2008.[7] The proposal gained support from BART and the local cycling organization.[7] A bridge over Treat Boulevard carrying the Iron Horse Regional Trail was completed on October 2, 2010.[8] The bridge cost $12 million.[9]
