Eminent Domain Current/Upcoming Projects

 

Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority(“VTA”)/Bay Area Rapid Transit (“BART”) Projects

Downey Brand attorneys Andy Turner and Bill Turner have represented numerous owners in eminent domain cases which involved acquisitions for different BART projects. These cases include takings for BART’s Colma Station and South San Francisco Station, rights of way takings in Daly City and Millbrae and a taking for a power substation for BART’s San Francisco Airport Extension. More recently, Andy and Bill represented owners in Fremont regarding BART’s takings for its 5 mile extension from BART’s Fremont Station to its proposed Warm Springs Station. Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) is currently acquiring additional properties for BART’s proposed 10-mile, two-station extension of its line south from its future Warm Springs Station in Fremont through Milpitas and into the Berryessa area of north San Jose. For more information regarding this extension please see, http://www.vta.org/bart/documents/other/berryessa_phase1_factsheet.pdf
