I wonder if they will actually be usable when, and if, "finished".  I have encountered more than a few racks that may look good but a bicycle will not fit for one reason or another.  !

Well what can we say?  DC Metro's run by the people who run "The Swamp."

Need we say more?

Sounds as if Metro has become a old age Senior in need of home repairs and getting ripped off by multiple contractors.

Exactly!

I guess this kind of stuff shouldn't surprise me, but it always does anyway.
