A San Francisco transit terminal which took nearly 10 years to build and cost more than $2 billion was shut down Tuesday after officials discovered a crack in a support beam.
The Salesforce Transit Center had been operating for only a month. The project was financed by land sales, federal stimulus grants, district fees and taxes, bridge tolls, and federal and state funds.
Dubbed the Grand Central of the West, the terminal was highly anticipated before its opening. Sitting near the heart of downtown, the three-block structure was expected to accommodate 100,000 passengers each weekday, and up to 45 million people a year.

Perhaps, it is worth remembering the condition of Interstate 880 in Oakland after the earthquake of October 18, 1989.

Union work.
We really need to know if the engineers were Male or female because we all know male engineers don’t make mistakes.
The engineers probably were homeless hobos. That was because this eventually will be your typical bus station (albeit, an incredibly expensive one) with homeless addicts wandering around and urinating on the floor. What a waste of taxpayers’ money. Typical DIMocRAT public project.
Was Richard Blum involved in the development in any way, shape, or form?
If so, that’s Feinstein’s wife.
