A planned grade separation project for the nearby level crossing at Broadway is scheduled to open by 2027, alleviating street congestion and restoring weekday service.

[8] The nearby level grade crossing at Broadway Avenue is planned to be grade-separated, with construction projected to start as early as 2025 if funding can be identified.

[9] Plans for a grade separation started in 1965 when the Peninsula Commute was being operated by the Southern Pacific Railroad, but were stymied by the complex geometry of Broadway, which intersects with roads immediately east (Carolan) and west (California) of the level crossing, and (further east) passes over U.S. 101 at an interchange rebuilt in 2017, and the heavy rail traffic, projected at more than 114 trains per day by 2020.

[11] Seven alternatives (including a no-build option preserving the current layout) were studied in the Broadway Grade Separation Project Study Report, which recommended Alternative A, a combination of partially elevating the rail line for 7,300 feet (2,200 m) and partially depressing the roadway for a length of 730 feet (220 m), resulting in acceptable grades of up to 4.8 percent for road traffic and 0.75 percent for rail traffic.

A preliminary design for the grade separation and station rebuild was anticipated for Spring 2019,[11] and ultimately completed in October 2020 along with environmental clearance.

[12] In an updated design released in 2022, the station profile was raised by 2 ft (0.61 m) and the bridge structure was made thinner, eliminating the need to close Broadway temporarily to lower the roadway.
