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.

I wonder if there's a mandatory testing time for elevators like there is for new light rail lines here (where they have to run the line like it was in normal operation for ~1mo without passengers)
