A new parking garage opened at the station with 1,547 space on June 30, 2008. [http://bart.gov/news/articles/2008/news20080620.aspx New Garage at Pleasant Hill Station] , BART News, June 20, 2008, access date August 18, 2008] The purpose is to move parking to a vertical platform from the ground level areas where a transit village will be built.

An improved access path to the station better connecting it with the Iron Horse Trail was proposed before the Walnut Creek City Council on July 15, 2008.
