Look out for a new glass canopy at Powell and Civic Center BART stations
Powell and Civic Center BART stations are getting a new do’, in the form of new glass canopy entrances along Market Street.
The designers’ rendering of the glass canopy is above, which you might have seen if you were being an A+ San Franciscan and attended the community event back in April. According to BART, Market Street will eventually (as in the next 10 years) have 30 new canopy entrances to product stations and escalators from weather damage and “improve station security and escalator durability.”
Don’t hold you breath yet, though. Construction for the new entrances is slated to begin toward the end of next year.
In other BART news, the San Francisco Chronicle is taking down circulation kiosks at BART stations, according to Mission Local. Oh, it’s the end of an era.

Useless unless there’s locking gates at the top.
I welcome anything, even a tarpaulin, if it prevents me from slipping down the stairs when it’s raining 🙂
Looks really nice. But the escalators break because … ahem… well look i t up. Just make sure you’re not eating something before you do. It’ll make you gag.
When do we get a working transportation system like any normal city in the world. This city is so far behind.. and they’re spending money on glass canopies?!
That will be broken in a day
