Picture downtown San Jose with a gaping open trench along Santa Clara Street, eliminating the entire road, sidewalks and storefronts for years. That's what the double-bore cut-and-cover method would do.
Lessons from San Francisco's Market Street disaster make it clear we must avoid this path. Post-COVID, our city is at a critical juncture.
Tearing up Santa Clara Street would be a blow from which our downtown might never recover. Prolonged construction would drive away customers, force businesses to close and scare off investors.
The choice is clear: Single bore is the best solution for bringing BART downtown without sacrificing the heart of our city.
