BART Tree Removal and Pruning
Published on January 21, 2025
POSTPONED - Ohlone Greenway and Dartmouth Street Closures planned for January 26, 2025, have been postponed due to BART rescheduling.
The City in coordination with BART will be performing tree hazard mitigation work on trees adjacent to the BART tracks between Dartmouth St and Solano Ave on Sunday, January 26. Please expect delays and detours in this area and plan travel accordingly.
The work consists of pruning trees with branches overhanging or close to the BART tracks and removing a large tree located the intersection of Darthmouth St. and Masonic Ave, which that BART’s arborists identified as a potential hazard to the BART tracks.
The tree removal contractor will begin staging at Dartmouth St and Masonic Ave at 7:00 AM on Sunday, with work starting at 8:00 AM and extending through 1:00 PM. Dartmouth St (including the northerly sidewalk) between Key Route and Masonic Ave and the Ohlone Greenway between Dartmouth and Solano will be closed during the tree removal work. Pedestrian, bike, and vehicular detours will be provided around the work zone.
There will be intermittent stoppage of pedestrian and bike traffic along the Ohlone Greenway between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM for the pruning work.
