Electrification is provided by ''traction power" substations located along the transit line right-of-way, BART proposes improvements to one of its existing gap breaker station, referred herein as "KXA". KXA is located approximately 150-feet northwest of the intersection of 4th Street and Jefferson Street, approximately 30- feet south of the K-Line in the City of Oakland. The proposed project would require replacement of the existing gap breaker station equipment.
