Lake Merritt's BART Station may not be called that for much longer, as a proposal has been made to change the name to " Oakland Chinatown." BART 's Board of Directors is considering changing the name because of its location in the Chinatown neighborhood.The board discussed the name change and voted to follow its policy for renaming stations.
I've been getting off at that station for 40 years and every time I get off I look around and say 'Where's Lake Merritt?' It displaced a large piece of Chinatown. Chinatown has been there for 150 years," said rider Joshua Simon.
