Wheels Summer Modifications for Route 10 in Downtown Pleasanton
Service modifications accommodate traffic and safety concerns.
LIVERMORE, Calif.– Due to increased congestion in Downtown Pleasanton associated with summertime special events and the popularity of the Meadowlark Dairy, Wheels will be implementing a multi-phased adjustment to westbound Route 10R. Eastbound service will not be affected.
Effective immediately, the westbound Route 10R bus stop at Neal St. and First St. is closed for the summer season, with an alternate temporary stop available on First St. at the north end of adjacent Lions Wayside Park. The alternate stop is clearly marked with Wheels RT. 10 signage and is ADA accessible.
Beginning May 31, 2025 and until the start of school, instead of turning onto Neal Street, Route 10R will continue south on First St. to Bernal Ave., to Old Bernal Ave. before reconnecting to Peters Ave. and resuming regular service. Effective with the start of school on August 7, 2025, Route 10R will continue south on First St. to Bernal Ave., turning to travel north on Pleasanton Ave. before reconnecting to Peters Ave. via Rose Ave. and resuming regular service. Wheels will publish new 10R schedules for each phase of the detour to ensure reliable connections to BART and other Wheels routes.
Once traffic queue lines for the Meadowlark Dairy no longer regularly impact access to LAVTA’s westbound Route 10R bus stop on Neal Street, regular 10R routing will resume and LAVTA will reopen the stop on Neal and First Streets.
LAVTA Executive Director Christy Wegener said “In an effort to ensure reliability of our service, as well as to maintain safe access to Downtown Pleasanton, a decision had to be made to reroute the bus off westbound Neal Street. Wheels regrets any inconvenience and advises riders to plan accordingly. We encourage everyone visiting Meadowlark Dairy or attending events in Downtown Pleasanton to take Wheels.”
