    Metro Gets Waterlogged

    Last week, Metro made a wee effort to clean up a little bit of the Red Line's Santa Monica station.

    Unfortunately, that effort was brief. (The emergency phone was replaced, and some very disgusting, mold-filled ceiling tile was removed.) However, there remains possibly great danger in the wet floor tile as well as the huge wheeled barrel of overflowing water at the Vermont entrance. The garbage can brimming over with moldy water has been there for a week as of Monday, 04 August.

     

    Is this what Metro does for drips at One Gateway Plaza?

    Ew, sick...

    How sad, it's in front of the handicap access too...

    At first before I read anything and the video caught my eye, I thought that was a barrel of toxic waste, glad it's only moldy water overflowing in front of the handicap entrance... *_*

    Hopefully no one slips and sues Metro...
