This project was such a mess for so long. Notice the head of the mta said going forward they'll move with a "modern design build approach".

The red tape and mediocrity in government projects is unbelievable. Design build means getting rid of a lot of positions that contribute almost nothing to a project and instead go straight with the contractors that know how to build right from the beginning. Hopefully they stick to it.
