San Leandro Station: fire alarm replacement work to require intermittent elevator and escalator outages beginning Monday, May 4

BART crews will replace the old fire alarm system at San Leandro Station beginning the week of Monday, May 4. The elevators and escalators at the station will be intermittently out of service so BART crews can tie them into the new fire alarm system. Riders who need to use an elevator or escalator to access BART should consider using Coliseum or Bay Fair stations as alternatives or contact the Station Agent for assistance. Agents can arrange a ride to a different station in an accessible van if needed. The work is expected to last approximately two weeks.

Testing of the new fire alarm system may result in strobe and speaker activations, open fare gates, and preempt public address (PA) announcements that are false alarms. There will be extra safety staff including BART PD on hand to monitor. San Leandro Station will remain open while the work takes place.
