Silver Spring Transit Center—Renderings vs. Reality

As Patch reported last week, the Action Committee for Transit is holding a contest inviting contestants to guess when the Silver Spring Transit Center will open.

The entry form and complete contest rules are on ACT's website.

It's anybody's guess as to when the center will open, since the opening has been delayed so long. The center was first planned 16 years ago last May, and groundbreaking took place five years ago, on Sept. 26, 2008. 

More recently, structural inefficiencies have kept the center from opening, and the contractor disagrees with the county on the best way to address the issues, Patch reported. 

What do you think of the difference between the county's rendering of what the finished Silver Spring Transit Center will look like, and what it currently looks like?
