Did they start building the structure? When will it be done?
I miss the old terminus, but understand this change had to be done and may benefit everyone!
I miss the old terminal that was once where the Silver Spring armory was.
Bounded by Pershing Dr, Fenton Street, and Wayne Ave.
I would have LOVED to have seen the OTHER Silver Spring Terminal (marked by DC Transit) as GA & ALASKA (actual location was Eastern Ave about 100yds west of Georgia & Eastern).

Not even close. Still doing the groundwork.
*looks at broken watch* half past a click of whenever.
Are you serious?! it has been over a year now! Well, I guess if you want it done right...

...seriously? it seems like last year they started...
it's gotta be 2 years at the most since I remember seeing the 2800s and 61-6200s in the old station and they've been around since 2007.
anyways, Ken is right, they are still doing the ground work, and honestly that doesn't even seem to be done yet.
The did the preliminary work in preparation for the construction just about 3 years ago, which basically was the start of the project.

The old bus terminal closed September 28, 2008. I would think Ken's "over 3 years" dates from when they originally were supposed to get started before the typical MoCo delays bogged it down.
I think that at this point the greater speculation would be if "Penguin Rush Hour" would be vandalized by angry Caps fans when/if it is ever reinstalled. ;)
This is going much better than Anacostia Light Rail, which had a sham groundbreaking either the week before or the week after NY Ave Station opened -- and NY Ave just celebrated its five-year anniversary.
End off topic commentary :-)
