Over the platform is the fare mezzanine and the tracks. It is connected by pedestrian bridges on both sides of the station to a couple of parking garages and the development around it.

History

In the late 1980s, original plans called for a West Dublin station with an East Dublin station near the Hacienda Business Park to be added later; however, the decision was reversed by the early 1990s, and only Dublin / Pleasanton station was opened in 1997. In April 1998, BART began negotiations with LaSalle Partners to build a private-funded West Dublin / Pleasanton station, and a deal was signed the following year.

Groundbreaking for the station was held on September 29, 2006. The station was originally scheduled to be complete in 2009, but it was delayed due to structural issues with the pedestrian bridges. The $106 million station, which was funded largely by private money and by proceeds of planned transit-oriented development (TOD) on adjacent BART-owned property, opened on February 19, 2011.
