a sign that tells people that need wheelchairs to use another station - from May until August

Yes, that does say from May 4 to late August, the station will not be accessible. I was generally impressed by the accessibility of San Francisco's public transit, but this is Not Cool. The nearest station is 0.7 miles away. Accessibility of transit: fail.

ETA: I have been informed in comments that BART is generally quite good, considering their budget constraints, so consider my objections retracted.

Possibly take less time about it?

Well, yes, I had considered that, but I figured they're not taking time just to take time, and that that was the amount of time they figured they'd need (for whatever reasons) and that if they had been able to do so faster, they would have. Maybe I'm naive that way.

But is there any reason it should take the entire summer?

I have no idea how much work there is to be done or how easy it is to coordinate multiple parties, if more than one company has to do work.
