   I am going to do a couple more deep proofreading/readthroughs to see if there's any issues I might have missed. Pending the finding of any problems, I'll probably be able to finish up this Review within the next few days. Shearonink (talk) 16:53, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

   This article fulfills all the GA criteria. Going forward the only improvements I could suggest would be to flesh out the notability claims in the lead and to see if there are any sources that refer to the community reaction - good/bad - to the Transit Center & its construction.
