They look the same here.

Obviously, purple line is still in planning stage and could be changed anyway, but I'd assume they're either building enough space for 1 track or 2....jag2923https://www.blogger.com/profile/16643222673053580872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-58806484215292395602010-12-07T07:18:25.156-05:002010-12-07T07:18:25.156-05:00Is it just me or do two of those four "color ...Is it just me or do two of those four "color schemes" looks exactly the same, but one has less shadow (I'm talking top left and bottom left).

If they really want to save money, though, they should simply move the Purple line tracks east a bit so they would be in Fenton Street rather than through the building. That way they wouldn't have to go to the expense of hanging the library over the tracks -- a lot of the library floors will actually be hung from above rather than supported from below. That has to be a really expensive way to build a building. Why not move the tracks out into the street and build a conventional building?Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00180733496678026590noreply@blogger.com
