Another problem addressed, the stations unfinished feeling with exposed beams, pipes and wires work got started on the ceiling a few years ago but was never finished up. Another issue at powell street station, the elevators and the escalators, they often smell like urine it will be upgraded to eliminate the odor problem. Part has put together a report on how to modernize this station and that study recommends a total of 94 million in improvements. But bart plans to start out by putting 30 million towards repairs its the third busiest in the system, the busiest on the weekends and riders welcome any changes i could say we could probably do a little better. Our city, i feel like, its a beautiful city and so it would be nice to see it down here. Another aspect of this Modernization Project will be to improve the lighting at the station. It can be quite uneven depending on what part of the station youre in. Soon, you can expect things to be brightened up a little bit with the led lighting on the concourse. What were talking about, potentially the first round of the improvements, probably being all finished and noticeable for the riding public by 2018. Still a couple years away. Soon enough. And welcome changes because like you said, that powell street station is the gateway to San Francisco for people who live in the bay area, go to the city and for tourists who have their luggage and created by that.
