Book excerpt: The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) proposes to construct a 16.3-mile extension of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) rail system from just south of the future BART Warm Springs Station in Fremont to the cities of Milpitas, San Jose, and Santa Clara. This environmental impact report (EIR) evaluates and discloses the environmental impacts of the BART alternative including increases in localized traffic; increases in noise and vibration levels; relocation of businesses and residences; and impacts on wetlands, special status species, historic and cultural resources, and parklands, among other topics. The volume 2 contains the final recommendations on the BART alternative alignment and station options, comments and responses on the draft EIS/EIR and a summary of the revisions to the draft EIS/EIR.
