<br />"DRAFT" Tri- Valley Planning Commissioners' Roundtable <br />Meeting of AprilIO, 2002 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Expected ridership to the proposed Livermore station is approximately 3,700 <br />compared to the ridership at the Dublin/Pleasanton station which is 10,000-13,000. <br />To increase ridership, it is necessary to concentrate development around a BART <br />station.
