The station underwent construction through 2016 to create a second entrance on the other side of the station. The new eastern station entrance will entail remodeling of the station's platforms and lobby, new bus stop shelters will be built near the entrance, and a pedestrian bridge will be built to connect the East plaza, the opening of this phase will happen at a future date. The BART station building facade has been completely renovated and overhauled facelift which lends it an airy feeling similar to SFO station.

The City expects the project will add 5,000 jobs and revenue. A commuter rail platform for existing "Capitol Corridor" and proposed Dumbarton Rail Corridor services was proposed in 2008. However, by 2019 the "Capitol Corridor" was planned to be rerouted over the operationally parallel Union Pacific Coast Line.
