Opinion: Tom McEnery, Lewis Wolff call San Jose BART extension ‘municipal madness’
The five miles of tunneling for the BART extension from the Berryessa station through San Jose to Santa Clara will begin soon.
A boring machine will tunnel 80 feet, roughly eight stories, beneath our streets. It’s part of a quixotic decision by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority to continue pursuing the 1960s goal of ringing the Bay Area with rail transportation — an idea as old as the Edsel.
This is fiscal foolishness that, if completed, will likely leave us with an obsolete system in a brave new world.
