The Transit Center is the building and bus stop behind the library in Kimball Junction. While Tom had a number of good points about how many people <del>will<\/del>\u00a0won&#8217;t use it, I have a fundamentally different question.<\/p>\n<p>Is this all you get for three million dollars?<\/p>\n<p>When you walk inside you see a smaller\u00a0than expected room, with a lot of benches, 50\u00a0power outlets, a piano, and a couple of bathrooms. You&#8217;ll probably think to yourself, &#8220;this is smaller than my kitchen and living room.&#8221; It is true that there is a lot of concrete outside and there is a downstairs that the public can&#8217;t access. Maybe they\u00a0are storing\u00a0the county&#8217;s gold or something down there.<\/p>\n<p>But heck, they got the most expensive part for free&#8230; the land.<\/p>\n<p>After spending about 10 minutes and seeing no one, I left thinking one thing&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>If this is what you get for $3 million, the school district better plan on $50 million for their field house and maybe $200 million for upgrades to the high school.<\/p>\n<p>Just crazy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"iugHzfm\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6433 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.parkrag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/img_5859c2d460e84.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"ZrSgFSY\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6434 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.parkrag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/img_5859c2e3d6aed.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"IRPeZRS\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6435 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.parkrag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/img_5859c2f950ff3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spurred\u00a0by Tom Clyde&#8217;s great column in this week&#8217;s Park Record, I just had to visit the new Kimball Junction Transit Center.
