Lake Merritt station

[3] A largely-unused oval courtyard adjacent to the fare lobby includes reliefs of sea creatures and birds designed by William Mitchell.[4]: 4 The construction of Lake Merritt station and the adjacent BART Administration Building leveled three blocks of Chinatown – one of several major displacements in the area, along with I-880, Laney College, and the Oakland Museum of California, that took place in the mid-20th century.In 2003, due to potential risk of earthquake damage, the headquarters was moved away from the station to leased space in the Kaiser Center.The bathroom at Lake Meritt station reopened on June 28, 2022, after a renovation, with an attendant on duty during all operating hours.As of 2024[update], BART indicates "significant market, local support, and/or implementation barriers" that must be overcome to allow that development; it would not begin until at least the mid-2030s.
