BART's Warm Springs station was supposed to be completed by 2014. By mid 2016 the station was finally finished but a series of delays has kept the station from opening. This video gives you a look at the inside of the station and some insight into some of the problems plaguing the station.

The first phase of the BART Silicon Valley expansion plan is ahead of schedule, under budget and just got a new federal grant. Kiet Do reports. (10/11/16)

The Next 40 Years: BART's Plan to Keep the Bay Area Moving
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kEFjMxM4cU

BART must shut down for a few hours every night for mandated inspections and critical maintenance work but there's no replacement for actually seeing what happens during the race till dawn.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3JlRbLnLFE&feature=youtu.be

BART has the oldest fleet in the nation. It needs state and federal support to keep one of the Bay Area's most important public transportation systems in a state of good repair.

BART looks to replace its aging fleet of rail cars with the fleet of the future.

An Earlier Version for Bank of America Plaza in Dallas

"Bank of America Plaza’s original plans not only included a twin tower, but called for Tower 2 to have gold-tinted windows — and a purple argon outline at night. Without a doubt, minds would have been blown after seeing 900 vertical feet of green argon and purple argon, in addition to Reunion Tower’s “dancing” lights and the new LED systems on the Omni hotel and Hunt Oil Tower. Original plans also called for two-story pyramid caps on each tower, but those were nixed by the FAA because of downtown’s proximity to Love Field."

From not even having 15 floors to not rising to 30 stories. Keep buildings and trains short and bridges narrow whenever possible, that's the manifestation of the Vancouverization agenda.
