WMATA Job Opening (Bike & Auto Parking)

I got this in an email today:

The project manager’s project portfolio will be heavily influenced by the projects identified in the Planning Office’s recent bicycle & pedestrian access needs inventory.

I misread the title as WABA job opening, and I was blown away by the salary range until I clicked on the link.

It’s unfortunate that they are placing an emphasis on engineering and construction experience, rather than specific bicycle infrastructure design experience. I’ve seen way too many bike racks installed incorrectly (in general, I’m not speaking about Metro), as if those overseeing their construction had no idea how they were even used. I could be reading into it too much…
