Beroldo says the 63 current bike parking spaces will remain, but new racks that are more space-efficient will be installed. Construction on the new bike station is scheduled to begin in November and will add enough space to park a total of 216 bikes at Civic Center Station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The primary benefit is a more secure environment to leave your bike parked,\" said Beroldo. \"You have to register it.

The new self-serve bike station will be similar to one at the Embarcadero BART Station, except it will be made of glass and feature better lighting, said Steve Beroldo, BART's bike program manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.bikelink.org/\">Bike Link\u003c/a> card will be required to enter and leave the station, and a special camera will be activated every time the door opens and closes, according to Beroldo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current bike parking area, inside the pay gates, can be a magnet for bike thieves, as \u003ca href=\"http://sf.streetsblog.org/2013/08/09/civic-center-bike-station-delayed-another-year-riders-left-crossing-fingers/\">I discovered last year\u003c/a>. Beroldo says the 63 current bike parking spaces will remain, but new racks that are more space-efficient will be installed. Construction on the new bike station is scheduled to begin in November and will add enough space to park a total of 216 bikes at Civic Center Station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The primary benefit is a more secure environment to leave your bike parked,\" said Beroldo. \"You have to register it. We know who's going in and out of it. So, there's no casual theft issues to worry about.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The entire downtown effort could cost $250 million from a mix of public and private sources. The funding for the first step being celebrated at the groundbreaking comes from a $5.8 million \u003ca href=\"http://www.onebayarea.org/funding-and-grants.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">One Bay Area Grant \u003c/a>awarded to the city in 2013. The project will extend Capitol Avenue, connecting employment and retail centers and developing, Mayor Harrison promises, a real Main Street feel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As things stand today, von Borck says, “a lot of our community needs to go outside of Fremont in order to seek out restaurant options or entertainment options.” She hopes a busier, pedestrian- and transit-friendly downtown will convince residents to stick around instead of heading to Palo Alto or Livermore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Egon Terplan, the regional planning director with \u003ca href=\"http://www.spur.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SPUR, the San Francisco-based urban planning organization\u003c/a>, says the lack of a downtown in Fremont is due in part to the fact much of the area was rural and agricultural. In fact, his grandmother grew up on a farm near the city’s planned downtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terplan says that a city creating a downtown needs to focus on how buildings relate to walkways and streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How close are they to the sidewalk?” Terplan says, reciting a list of key questions. “Is there a big setback with a parking lot behind it? Or is there a generous sidewalk that you can walk by? Does the ground floor of the building have active uses that are inviting, that make people want to be a pedestrian?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those are small things, but if you do them right, you can see the difference from space. In an event room at SPUR, Terplan gestures to a satellite map of the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You see a couple places where there’s a grid pattern, there’s a set of taller buildings surrounded by often a leafier residential neighborhood.

I mean, that’s part of the community, right?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan says she misses the central business district in Los Altos, where she grew up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a speech at the groundbreaking, the mayor gave thanks to the woman he called the city’s “downtown czar,” Deputy City Manager Jessica von Borck.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘I’ve been waiting forever for a downtown. … I mean, that’s part of the community, right?’\u003ccite>— Sally Morgan,\u003cbr>\nlongtime Fremont resident\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“Yes, we’re suburbia right now,” von Borck says. “And it looks very much that way, but it’s riddled with opportunity because it is underdeveloped.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Von Borck says there will be denser development here, and eventually a new city hall. The entire downtown effort could cost $250 million from a mix of public and private sources. The funding for the first step being celebrated at the groundbreaking comes from a $5.8 million \u003ca href=\"http://www.onebayarea.org/funding-and-grants.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">One Bay Area Grant \u003c/a>awarded to the city in 2013. The project will extend Capitol Avenue, connecting employment and retail centers and developing, Mayor Harrison promises, a real Main Street feel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As things stand today, von Borck says, “a lot of our community needs to go outside of Fremont in order to seek out restaurant options or entertainment options.” She hopes a busier, pedestrian- and transit-friendly downtown will convince residents to stick around instead of heading to Palo Alto or Livermore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Egon Terplan, the regional planning director with \u003ca href=\"http://www.spur.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SPUR, the San Francisco-based urban planning organization\u003c/a>, says the lack of a downtown in Fremont is due in part to the fact much of the area was rural and agricultural. In fact, his grandmother grew up on a farm near the city’s planned downtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terplan says that a city creating a downtown needs to focus on how buildings relate to walkways and streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How close are they to the sidewalk?” Terplan says, reciting a list of key questions. “Is there a big setback with a parking lot behind it? Or is there a generous sidewalk that you can walk by? Does the ground floor of the building have active uses that are inviting, that make people want to be a pedestrian?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those are small things, but if you do them right, you can see the difference from space. In an event room at SPUR, Terplan gestures to a satellite map of the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You see a couple places where there’s a grid pattern, there’s a set of taller buildings surrounded by often a leafier residential neighborhood. And so the downtown pops in that context,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terplan points to downtowns like San Jose, Palo Alto and San Mateo. On the satellite map, Fremont doesn’t pop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t jump out as much a traditional downtown,” Terplan says, the kind that was built before World War II.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terplan says it will help if Fremont plans around transit.

On Friday, lawyers questioned Mehserle about his claim that he meant to draw a Taser, not his semi-automatic pistol, while he and other officers tried to subdue grant on the platform at the Fruitvale station in East Oakland. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mehserle's attorney, Michael Rains, argued that BART is culpable in the shooting because its Taser training was inadequate. But Mehserle testified that he had no problems with the training and had practiced drawing his Taser, positioned on his left side, with his right hand. When asked how he came to draw his service weapon instead of the stun gun, he said, \"I'm not sure how it happened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as he did in his 2010 murder trial, Mehserle wept when he recounted details of the shooting. He broke into tears Friday as he recalled seeing a bullet hole in Grant's back and realizing he had shot the suspect. Mehserle was acquitted of the murder charges in the earlier trial, held in Los Angeles, but convicted of involuntary manslaughter. He said during testimony on Wednesday that he disagreed with the jury's verdict in that case. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post update includes reporting from the Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 3:40 p.m. Wednesday: \u003c/strong>Former BART police Officer Johannes Mehserle made an abbreviated appearance on the stand this afternoon — his testimony interrupted when the judge in the case recessed the trial until Friday.

BART has settled suits filed on behalf of Grant III's mother and daughter for a total of $2.8 million. Last month, the agency \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/BART-settles-suit-filed-by-Oscar-Grant-s-friends-5493273.php\" target=\"_blank\">settled a civil rights lawsuit\u003c/a> brought by several of the men detained with Grant at the Fruitvale BART station in 2009. The reported payment in that case was $175,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And today is not the first time Mehserle has testified. He also appeared in his 2010 murder trial in Los Angeles, which resulted in a guilty verdict on the lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter. The San Francisco Chronicle's Demian Bulwa covered Mehserle's testimony. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Mehserle-on-stand-Emotion-integrity-in-focus-3183764.php\" target=\"_blank\">Some of his impressions\u003c/a> of that 2010 testimony:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>After Mehserle's seven-hour appearance ended Friday, there were two questions: Did Mehserle murder Grant?

He often paused after questions, formulating his answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He cried almost every time he talked about the first moments after he shot Grant - a 22-year-old Hayward resident - in the back. Every time he did, a protest of faint muttering would emerge from Grant's relatives and supporters in the gallery. They, too, were a factor in his testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Robert Perry was wary of letting emotion or stagecraft overwhelm Mehserle's explanation for killing Grant - that he thought he had his Taser in his hand when he shot him while trying to handcuff him on Jan. 1, 2009, that \"the thought of my gun never came into the equation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perry told defense attorney Michael Rains to speed things up as he asked Mehserle for childhood memories, and he later cut him off - \"That's too much, Mr. Rains\" - when he tried to drill deeper into his client's grief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutor David Stein at one point started to crank up an attack, but Perry admonished him: \"Lower your voice.\" He later stopped Stein from asking Mehserle if he ever felt compelled to apologize to Grant's family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perry was most stern with the gallery, where a Grant supporter was arrested after telling Mehserle to \"save those f-ing tears.\" The judge bellowed: \"I'll clear the courtroom.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Finally: Here's the lawsuit, filed in 2009:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe id=\"doc_85167\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/229232428/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

You're going to get off at a BART train and get on a very quick-moving people mover. It's going to arrive every four minutes.
