“Next few months,” Metro says. I won’t be holding my breath. And let me get this straight, Metro hired *two* utterly incompetent contractors?

My prediction is the 30 days prior to the actual opening of the Purple Line. It would be egregious PR if a while rail line openers before this small bike enclosure was completed.

According to Boomer, it’s open. I don’t remember if I submitted a guess. Who won?

You did!! Submit, that is.
There were only two entrants, but, sadly, you lost.

The winner is Sunyata, who predicted October 12, 2020.
At some future date I am sure we will again be in the same place at the same time, drinks are on me for her.

Sorry, Josh. Thanks for playing!

Oh yay!!! I completely forgot about this. And yes, the weather is finally starting to warm up, so an outdoor happy hour would be lovely!
