Greenville Road's proximity to both Interstate 580 and the Union Pacific Railroad Oakland Subdivision made it a potential interchange point between a planned Bay Area Rapid Transit expansion and the Altamont Corridor Express.[2] When BART was forced to abandon its Livermore extension, planning for an interchange between the two systems was undertaken by the Tri-Valley-San Joaquin Valley Regional Rail Authority as part of Valley Link. Plans for the station include an elevated island platform between two newly-built tracks north of the freeway. Walkways would allow connections to a side platform partially underneath the freeway along the Union Pacific line utilized by ACE. Rush hour short turn Valley Link trains would operate from here to Dublin/Pleasanton.[3] Service is expected to start as early as 2028.[4]
