As of today, the sawhorses/tape are gone, and it shows on the Blink map. So give it a shot!EVDrive said:GRA said:The Hayward QC has now (as of yesterday) had the last protective post installed, but it's still cordoned off by sawhorses and tape for no obvious reason. Blink clearly feels no urgency to finish the job. Someone should try and use it, as you can move the sawhorses fairly easily (just as Jason Smith from Ecotality did when he charged there two weeks ago), although I don't know if the standard card will work. Maybe Jason has a special card that allowed him to before it's officially on-line.
I drove to this Tuesday thinking it would be open... wrong. They have a fortress of Sawhorses around it. I didn't try to breakthrough... thought about it though. Instead, I limped home on sparks. Sad. I really wonder what is taking them so long.
It's funny, sometime last week the geniuses doing the work apparently decided to move the inner green lane line on the right side charging space closer to the Charger unit, to match the inner line on the left side. So, they sandblasted the old line away and painted the new one. All well and good, and they realized that they also needed to move the outer line on the right side space left to keep the space the same width, and extend the diagonal striping to meet the new line.
Oops - apparently accurately measuring the distance was more than their pea-sized brains could manage prior to painting, and the new space is only 7 feet wide versus the 8 feet of the left space (and every other space in the garage), bordered by an extremely wide and, AFAICT, totally pointless green-striped diagonal space to its right. What is the latter for? It's not a handicapped zone, there are no signs indicating that EVs waiting to charge can park there, so it seems to just be taking up a parking space for no reason at all. Anyone have a clue?
