BART MURAL PROJECT IN UNION CITY - PILLARS IN THE DECOTO COMMUNITY AND KENNEDY PARK
March 12, 2026 - Community Update
Thank you for your continued interest in Union City’s BART Mural Project. The goal of the BART Mural Project is to capture the history, legacy, and richness of the Decoto community, and Union City. We appreciate the 700+ community members that have shared their stories, ideas, and vision for the murals that will be placed on the BART pillars - through the citywide survey, community conversations, community forums, and the Arts and Culture Commission and City Council meetings.
From our outreach activities over the past 7 months, described in the Union City BART Mural Project Community Feedback Report, 5 key themes emerged consistently from the community, on their vision and ideas for the murals. Extensive outreach was done from January 10 to February 19, 2026, to invite the community to prioritize/rank the themes by their order of preference. Below is the ranking in the order, and a visual, of the responses received by the community:
On March 3, 2026, Union City received approval from BART on the themes. The next step is for City staff to provide an update and request approval of the themes and summary report to:
Arts and Culture Commission, on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, at 6:00pm
City Council, tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at 7:00pm
Both meetings are held at Union City, City Council Chambers
Address: 34009 Alvarado-Niles Rd. Union City, CA 94587
