"...the Augustine panel believes there could be safety issues, too, and notes 3-in.-thick concrete pieces have fallen from the structure."
Who doesn't agree with the Augustine panel that "3-in.-thick concrete pieces falling from the structure" are safety issues?
This raises other questions:
- Why are 3-inch-thick concrete pieces falling from the brand new, yet-to-be-opened, $120+ million Silver Spring Transit Center?
- Do 3-inch-thick concrete pieces falling from the brand new, yet-to-be-opened, SSTC suggest that there are other, perhaps even greater, problems with the SSTC?
- How can the brand new, yet-to-be-opened, $120+ million SSTC have 3-inch-thick concrete pieces falling from the structure before it opens? (The SSTC hasn't seen its first car, much less fully-loaded bus!)
- Who was looking out for the public's interests (53% federal funding, 11% state, 36% county) during design and construction?
- What does the SSTC experiece say about the practice of using public-private partnerships to design and build public works projects?
