Thanks for these continuing updates. Is there any chance that you could just directly paste the links to these reports? Your 'tweets' don't show up on more security-conscious browsers.

When I paste the link address for the tweet, the discussion board turns the link into those "tweets". I can manually create links to the tweets, I suppose.

For the actual reports, sometimes Metro does not post the reports on its library website until many months later, and I get the reports from public records requests. I don't have a place to upload the reports to, so I just put screenshots of the reports on Twitter. The reports will eventually show up here whenever Metro staff decide to update their library webpage: libraryarchives.metro.net/DPGTL/StatusReports/

The MTA said today 04/02/2024 that the tunneling project on the first extension is complete. But when will it open.

Seems that the entire nine mile tunnel is complete. Opening in three stages. 2025, 2026 and 2027.

Glad to see the tunneling is done.

Communication from Metro has gotten much worse over the last two years. Harder to link to reports, harder to get info generally. Thankfully numble posts pretty regularly on other social media sites. But even then…
