History

The North Concord/Martinez station opened on December 16, 1995. It served as the terminal station of the line until December 7, 1996, when the extension over Willow Pass to Pittsburg/Bay Point station opened. [3] The station briefly served as the terminus again from March 16–21, 2016 (and at off-peak times until April 2) after electrical issues north of the station damaged a number of trains. [5] [6] Some peak hour trains began short turns at North Concord in 2003. [7]

Sandwiched between low-density residential areas to the west and the Concord Naval Weapons Station to the east, it is among the least-used stations on the BART system, with 610 daily boardings in February 2024. [4] [7] A 2018 study recommended a footbridge over the BART tracks south of the station to improve access from the adjacent neighborhood. [8]

In August 2018, BART solicited developer proposals for transit-oriented development to replace the surface parking lots at the station. A developer team was chosen in December 2018, but withdrew in March 2019 due to the two developers failing to reach an internal agreement. BART chose a new developer in August 2019. [9] That developer withdrew in April 2022, posssibly because of delays with plans for a much larger development of the Naval Weapons Station property; BART considered proposals by other developers. [10] [11] As of 2024, BART indicates "significant market, local support, and/or implementation barriers" that must be overcome to allow TOD at the station, and that such development would not begin until at least the mid-2030s. [12]
