Now the plaza is fenced off to the public.
Theresa Lopez, a neighbor who lives in the area said, "Oh it was completely out of control, I was afraid to go to BART." City officials say this public space is now off-limits because of rampant drug use and illegal street vending. A fence has been erected around the plaza with only a path for people going to and from the BART station.
