Fairy tale?

You and me and people from all 50 states are paying for the Silver Spring Transit Center. It hasn't even opened yet; but, it's severely-flawed. The concrete structure is cracked throughout. Slabs in many locations are more than an inch thinner than what they're supposed to be. Reinforcement is exposed in some places, and missing entirely in others. Some concrete is understrength and overstressed. 250 beams must be strengthened because they will not carry design loads within allowable design stress limits. The SSTC is WAY over budget and schedule.

 

Contact your US representatives in Congress (1 House; 2 Senate) and tell them that you want an independent investigation of how YOUR federal taxes, user fees, etc. were used or misused in the oversight and construction of the SSTC, including selection of the builder/contractor, the engineer/designer and the concrete/special quality inspector/tester. Do it today.
