The last I read, the transit center is scheduled to open in December. I pray that the following spring, we will see the groundbreaking of one or all of the buildlings that are proposed to wrap around the intersection of Colesville Rd. and 'hide' the transit center. Until then, the structure will like like a giant three-story (very functional) concrete barge surrounded by a grassy field. I, too would have preferred the grand vision of the original designs, but I think that once the site is fully built out (and IF the new buildings are attractive), then many of the aesthetic concerns will be moot--at least from the street view. And if they Purple Line/Capital Crescent Trail/Metropolitan Branch Trails are built, then this area will be one bad mamma-jamma transit node.
