NARRATIVEConcept 1 celebrates Lake Merritt Plaza as a critical transportation node by recognizing the underground BART line on the

plaza surface. This diagonal spine organizes the plaza into 2 spaces: A large open plaza, and a smaller, more intimate area for

sitting and socializing. The spine emphasizes the pedestrian connection from the corner of Madison and 9th Street through the

core of the plaza. The existing plaza fountain opening is closed to maximize plaza space with skylights allowing natural light into

the station.
