Split council backs plan to expand Milpitas BART station

Tensions over land around the planned Milpitas BART station arose in Milpitas City Council discussions. New station designs from BART show an expansion, reflecting the anticipated needs for light rail, bus, and private shuttle traffic. The Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) expects all of these different transfer uses to take up the west side of the proposed station, and so VTA staff are now proposing the parking structure for the east side of the station.
City staff recommended against this alternative, as the expanded station needs would cut into the opportunities for the exact sites that have the most potential for intensive new uses (potentially accomodating 20 story buildings and up to 70 dwelling units per acre).
In a 3-2 vote, the Council ended up backing the VTA station expansion.
