Noma was my home station so i know exactly what the layout of the station is.

The mezzanine is similar to that of Rhode Island Ave but everything is two-three times further apart. Just look at Rhode Island Ave station; you can clearly see how close everything is once you enter the metal frame and compare that to the glass/metal frame at Noma

Noma, Morgan Blvd and Largo Town Center are all the exact same way they all have everything spaced out far.

1 From the steps and doors you have the vending machines which are about 15-20 feet away from the doors give or take.

2 The closest fare machine is about 10 feet from the fare gates, then the closest escalator is about 20 feet but its not even facing you; you have to walk the entire length of it then turn around.

If the first escalator was facing the opposite way everything would be find.

3 The elevator is damn near a block from either entrance; there was plenty of space to but the elevators closer to the faregates on both sides. The only reason I could logically think of having both elevators there is for mechanical reasons beyond that it makes no damn sense to make the disabled or anyone really go a block out of the way its not like this is Gallery Place where they added the elevators at the last minute.
