History
The original plan for the Silicon Valley BART extension included the Downtown San José station, but full funding could not be secured[6]and the San Jose extension was split into two phases. Phase I, completed on June 13, 2020, was the extension to Berryessa/North San José station.[7]The proposed Downtown San José station is part of a later, unfunded phase II of the Silicon Valley BART extension[8] and would be located between the proposed 28th Street/Little Portugal and Diridon BART stations. Construction is planned to begin in 2024, and revenue service to start in 2036.[4][5]
