Time's up


cute... 

The real issue isn't so much that the Silver Spring Transit Center is way overdue (timeline); the real issue is that the SSTC is seriously flawed 
  • no expansion joints 
  • extensive cracking 
  • slabs that are more than an inch thinner than what they're supposed to be
  • exposed reinforcement
  • missing reinforcement
  • under-designed beams
  • understrength and overstressed concrete
  • etc. 

The real questions come at the end of the video: 
  • Is the SSTC safe (according to experts NOT involved in the project to date and NOT paid for by Montgomery County)? 
  • How much will the SSTC cost the public? ALL costs to-date and future costs, including:
    • contract cost
    • extras
    • outside engineering and legal fees
    • repairs
    • future operations and maintenance costs
    • court costs
    • Montgomery County's administrative costs
    • etc. 

Time's up. It's passed due time for answers.
